Beam me to Planet Gore !
One thing we have noticed by observing what has happened since various eggheads have been inventing new economic systems is that it is impossible to invent new economic systems that actually work outside textbooks.
This therom is nothing at all but BULL S$%^.
Just imagine if man could actually change climate, and if these climate-nazis jump in too soon to accelerate a GLOBAL COOLING that is already taking place . . . and usher in a new ice age!
I agree that Australia needs to change a lot of its environment, but not for any MMGW nonsense, but because it needs changing to give a better life to Australians.
The way to do this is to let nature work for your benefit, with some technological help. For example, depending on geology, Australia might be able to turn hundreds of square miles of its inland desert green.
How in the world? Sea water. In many places around the world, when brine sea water percolates through the ground, the salt is filtered, and the water table is fresh water.
Perhaps with a canal project, Australia could create an artificial “inland sea”, whose waters would in turn create an artificial aquifer that would stretch for perhaps hundreds of miles.
This fresh water aquifer would be easy to tap with ordinary wells and windmills, bringing fresh water to the surface.
After the canal was built, nature would do the rest.
