  1. Why do we need to achieve net zero given China continues to build enormous numbers and amounts of coal fired generation. For the record in China, 47.4GW of coal power capacity came online in 2023. This increase accounted for two-thirds of the global rise in operating coal power capacity, which climbed 2% to 2,130GW. China's 70.2GW of construction underway in 2023 represents 19-times more than the rest of the world's 3.7GW. The chase for "net zero" makes no economic or scientific sense.

  2. We need people with a higher IQ and scientific understanding in power than this affable but intellectual light-weight Malinauskas. So far the main impacts from CO2 are a greening of the planet, higher crop yields and reduced winter death rates of humans, increasing average size of Pacific Islands, increased coral reef coverage, reduced cyclones in Queensland, etc. So why invest trillions to "fight" these overwhelmingly positive side-effects?

  3. We are already carbon neutral, look up the government's statistics on the number of trees in Australia, how much an average tree absorbs carbon dioxide per year vs. Australia's carbon emissions
