30 thoughts on “The problem with net zero by 2050, with former Treasurer Peter Costello #environment #climatechange

  1. Fact – You can only generate the energy when the sun shines and the wind blows.
    Fact – There is no available / reliable battery technology to store this energy.
    Soooooo, when exactly are we going to run on renewables????? Get ready for the blackouts.

  2. It's an enormous transformation that is going to cost trillions and not going to work
    There is no way net zero is happening by 2050
    BTW Australia is already at net zero
    We produce about 420 million tonnes of C02 per year but our large continent of forests and bushland grasslands etc absorbs over 900 million tonnes of C02

  3. it misses the point, what other solution is there the only point they say is that its too hard because its going to be expensive. well yeah but if we do nothing the fires get worse the floods get worse the droughts get worse and how expensive is that?? what solution to climate change do you have because it sounds like 2 old men saying dont worry about it its too hard plus ill be dead before the consequences of doing nothing effects me but paying for it now effects me.

  4. What are these fossils still dictating the lives of the next generation, they have had their time, they are the ones milking the system and they aren't going to let go until they are forced too.

  5. why not stop this madness yes be green to a point! just a example I was told in 1985 rather brainwashing as a child and told in 10 years it's basically going to be an environmental catastrophe for the planet it's more to do with rubbish than co2. remember south Australia had no power for like 3 weeks because of the storm damage imaginative capabilities say that for Sydney or Melbourne don't go fully green and the power prices going up Straight to ceo,s and management wage increase total scam

  6. It's the deliberate artificial suppression of the world's most advanced nation's economies and the artificial acceleration of the world's less advanced nation's economies at the expense of the world's most advanced nation's economies as an integral element of political and economic globalism.

    The "Green" agenda has nothing to do with environmentalism and certainly not the fraudulent "anthropogenic climate change" agenda. This is 100% globalism to enrich a tiny Supranational Elite and place them at the apex of a new global governance structure. Depopulation, mass immigration, massive sovereign debt, outsourcing, it's all part of the same agenda.

  7. At some point we will need to upgrade to more sustainable ways of developing and transferring energy. The way we go about it should be the issue, not whether we should be doing it.

  8. yeah, but the Left's "useful" people lapping up the green push don't care about these facts. (and when it all comes crashing down, they'll all conveniently blame someone else.)

  9. Half the people on earth can be fed only using chemical fertilizers made with fossil fuels. Not to mention all the energy required to cultivate pick transport refrigerate etc. Net zero 2050 is an extinction level event.

  10. None of the real costs of net zero are being communicated to the public.
    People are being asked to vote for green policies purely on faith, and fear, not reason.
    Biggest scam ever.

  11. It's insane that we would shut down perfectly good coal powered stations before we have a fully operational alternative in place. It would even be possible to build small modular reactors on the same site as some of these coal power stations which have power lines already in place supplying the communities around them. If we did this we wouldn't need to build any further powerlines for quite a few years and we could have cheap power.

  12. Prices aren't going up. The value of your money is going down because every time the printing press runs, it steals value from the money already in your pockets, and from the money in next week's paycheck.

  13. MY Power bills are about to more than double. They haven't even closed a power station yet, and yet this sounds like the BS, we got from Telstra about the NBN. Still haven't got an internet, and when they sold our gas to China? They put gas prices up immediately, saying it will run out in the future. Well it will, if corporate senior management in canberra sell it all off.
