Hi James
Just think of the requirements of "cause and effect"

Naturally the immense increase in the worlds population with the requirements of industry and transport will change the planet in a detrimental way

But two major points have to be considered first
How much is a the normal cycle of nature changing the earth
How much is man made and how much of that can be changed

The current calls to eliminate all fossil fuels within the next ten years is simply impossible to achieve as there is no infrastructure to accommodate the change
Such a change in Australia would put hundreds of thousands of people out of work
The countries income would drop by about 70%
What little manufacturing that we still have would go off shore
Hundreds of thousands of people would die from lack of and costly alternate power for cooking, medical requirements and lack of work
What you are talking about sounds wonderful as we would be living in a manner of life that disappeared 500 years ago dependent of hunting gathering skills in hand made shacks

500000 people marching in demos will never stop the sewage and pollution being pumped into the ocean, will never stop Indonesia or the Amazon being destroyed

In actual fact it will do zero, as your marching does not effect 99% of the pollution being produced and does not effect 99% of the worlds politicians but it will put the Liberals in a bad light if they don't make a change, which makes this whole demo just a political stunt by the Labor Party and not worthy of any attention from the public

Do you understand that the majority of the "science" that is quoted is obtained by computer modeling so is not necessarily true raw facts, computer models are just electronic guessing

Stephen Hawking’s Quote from String Theory in Beijing
String theory is still "an opinion" not fact and does not deal with GW so his quote about GW has to be classed as a personal view of one of the questions we have to answer in the future

In my opinion, I’m happy to hang my coat on his opinions which, again in my opinion, outweighs most options out there
