PRESSURE ON SUPPLIER EMISSIONS
Excerpts from an article in The Australian newspaper by Christopher Nieche: Australian companies will soon be required to report on their suppliers and customers’ carbon dioxide emissions, including international airlines flying into Australia.The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) last year said it would introduce a framework for the reporting of customer and supplier emissions and a requirement to do so. The ISSB aims to introduce a global common, consistent language of sustainability-related financial disclosures that will likely become the universal standard for climate reporting. Its new standards will be effective from January next year. At the same time, the Australian Treasury is running a consultation on the climate-related financial Pressure ramps up on suppliers’ emissions disclosure it should require of companies, reporting of Scope 3 emissions, that is customers and suppliers’ emissions.
Is Carbon Dioxide More Dangerous Than Seas of Micro Plastics?
Paul MacRae, Author of False Alarm, writes: “But it’s baffling that alarmist climate scientists are so certain that additional carbon dioxide will produce a climate disaster, even though there is little empirical evidence to support this view, and much evidence against it, including decades of non-warming. This dogmatism makes it clear, at least to those outside the alarmist climate paradigm, that something is very wrong with the state of “consensus” climate science.‘Is belief in global-warming science another example of the “madness of crowds”?
That strange but powerful social phenomenon, first described by Charles Mackay in 1841, turns a widely shared prejudice into an irresistible “authority”. Could it be that (belief in human-caused, catastrophic global warming) indeed represent the final triumph of irrationality?’
There is strong psychological evidence that alarmist fears of climate change are far more the result of groupthink and the group polarization process than scientific evidence and, yes, this alarmist groupthink has indeed led to the triumph of irrationality over reason.”
The diagnosis is clear, but what is the treatment, both curative and preventative?

There was a significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions during the thirty five year period of global cooling between 1944-1979. No one has explained what caused the warming between 1911-1943 when carbon dioxide emissions were so low. How do we explain that??
Most sensible people who are not financially dependent upon the climate change gravy train are sensible enough to fully realise man cannot control climate and extreme weather. Yet, incredible though it may seem, there still remain some, who are otherwise intelligent, who still believe the claims of reversible impending human caused climatic destruction of the entire globe. How can this be? What drives people to cling to such strange and extreme beliefs?
Facts that’s what! It maybe too late to reverse global warming and if our scientists are right the planet will be uninhabitable by the end of this century.
