    7 out of 9. Should have been 8, but I misread one question.

    It is my subject and I studied a long time a I am passionate also, but the quiz is deeply flawed. If the questions were known fact no problem, but the quiz is not correct. I spent years on my subject but of late there is so much misinformation it is not funny. I want to see change but I am fed up with bad science been shown as fact.

    Well, the rest of the World seem to think there is a problem. All of a sudden, thev USA is the World leader on Climate Change. How about that.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    I treat the whole thing as an expensive hoax on the western taxpayer as I've said previously.
    40 thousand participants and "observers" in Paris like the local tosser mayor of Joondalup WA spouting that "Local councils have much to offer with their experience in climate control blah blah" or some such rubbish and you've got to admit it's just a great big jolly for the hordes attending.
    I certainly believe in climate change but when any pollies can control that, I'll also believe in flying pigs.
    By all means cut pollution of all kinds, but don't blame western advanced nations for something completely natural going on since time began.
    The bankers in Switzerland and other secretive banking countries must be rubbing their hands with glee at the huge sums of western taxpayers brass that will be flowing into their coffers soon from countries like India etc. who are going to be paid to help them combat global warming!
    Absolute joke.

    Not arguing with you Bob, all I said is the quiz is deeply flawed. When Poly's tell us what to do I am also suspicious especially when they they are after money for carbon credits or something ie money for nothing ie buying and selling something that does not actually exist.
    I never said there was not a problem, I said I did not believe in all the science as it was deeply biased on BOTH sides. I think we need to change our ways, but I also think people and governments are making a lot out of this which is why it has got the legs it has. WE NEED TO CHANGE, but not all on this subject is what it seems or for the reason it seems it is mostly not about the planet, but about money, like everything else..

    Of course we need to change many polluting ways. We also need to change the massive amount of land clearing/trees that are cut down throughout the world including Oz, for agriculture.
    We need to stop raping the seas and dumping catches because they don't meet quotas etc. .... the EU is probably the absolute worst for this.
    We need to stop all the crap about the Japs eating a few whales and telling porkies by calling it scientific etc. yet we allow others to fish the seas for krill which is whale food!
    What's going to kill more whales? Harpoons or starving them to death?
    We also need to cut back on the amount of travel the vast hordes of pollies and useless bureucraps we employ forever undertaking "fact finding missions".
    Mostly we also need to cut the huge population explosions in Africa especially as that is the very worst thing for our planet. That may mean action which will cause many to scream and shout about "imperialism and forced birth control" but that is what has to happen as the world cannot possibly support the huge growth in people.
    And stop Main Roads WA from planting traffic lights everywhere creating huge traffic jams.

    I agree with what you are saying on many points, the Japs and Whaling annoys me very much too. All I am saying is not all issues in this topic are what they seem we need to look at this with eyes wide open. I am not a radical greeny and I am not blindly opposing change as many do. I studied this and I think the answer is somewhere in the middle, but the BS needs to stop. Lets 'save the planet', actually lets save ourselves. Too many are trying to line their pockets though with this that is my problem and most are making policies..

    The agreement was almost derailed by one word.

    Hi Cafe Latte, you might be able to answer this.

    Heard someone on ABC radio today banging on about trees being part of the solution to take up carbon in the air. But?

    An acre of trees takes up 2(ish) tonnes of carbon per year (roughly).
    'I' use 17 tonnes of carbon per year (roughly - according to Wikipedia).

    So I'd need to plant 9 acres of trees per year just to cover my usage. Those trees need water etc. Then, when they die, they release the carbon anyway, unless i turn them into furniture or books.

    How much carbon is stored in asphalt? Couldn't we just make more roads? Or make asphalt and dump it to the bottom of the ocean?
