The "per capita" clams of the greenies are deeply flawed. The only reason our rates are seemingly high compared to other western nations is because we have a small population and it is spread out over a massive area compared to other nations. Our high carbon emissions per capita are the result of distributing goods, services and electricity across such a vast land mass to a small population.
To put it in his terms the claim is 'Absolute Crap'
90% of Australia's population lives in the urban cities and towns which are situated on the coastal fringe of the continent. No matter how hard you spin it to suit your agenda the fact remains it doesn't take much carbon to supply a mere 10% of the population with goods and services they require no matter how far flung they are. The vast majority of carbon emissions are created by the demands of the population dense coastal dwellers.
I didn't want to turn this into a debate about renewable energy policy but I am sick of the greenies and their attack on our standards of living because of cherry picked statistics. If they had their way, aviation would be the first industry to close.
You are not even cherry picking your statistics. You're just making them up as you go along.
