methane has a very short residence time in the atmosphere, where it will break down to co2 and water vapour. also orders of magnitude smaller concentration than co2. methane is totally overlapped by water vapour in the spectrum meaning where there is water vapour (just about everywhere) then methane has no effect. there are as many domestic cows today as there were wild bison and buffalo hundreds of years ago. what these conmen do is put out measurements taken in a 100% methane environment in the lab to scare you out of your land. don't be a mug.
Methane (CH4) is only 0.00019% (1.9 parts per million) of the atmosphere. Both of its narrow absorption bands occur at wavelengths where water vapour (H2O) is already absorbing substantially. Hence, any radiation that CH4 might absorb has already been absorbed by H2O. With the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere being between 1,000 and 20,000 times greater than CH4, the effects of CH4 are completely masked by H2O.
Another climate scam, who funds all of this propaganda and how much cash to they think they can score on it?

Terrific video, well done! Hope it gets shared and watched far and wide.
Did Cam just wake up?
Replace wood pulping 15% of felled trees and building timber AND cotton's water and pesticide demand with low maintenance weed. Hemp gave the sails and the rope which got the wooden ships here, and the carbon negative stuff makes good bricks for building too. Victorian government has tentative interest. It also needs policing with teeth for protection of forestry. Clandestine felling by people who see rules as advisory need.... restraint to think otherwise.

Good think there wasn't all kinds of pathogenic bacteria and fungus in all that soil that your brother Tim made you eat. I don't think anyone else got the joke. I stopped watching when you said "IPCC" and "scientific" in the same sentence. Was that a joke too?

Brilliant. Thanx so much! 🤗
So much great information in these presentations. With a plan we so desperately need.
Were it otherwise, I'm sorry that my empathy isn't of significantly more use to you than it is. (not much use at all whilst collective unconscious stays asleep)
Thankyou for this , very informative and useful for future planning.
Love you all
One of the things that irritates me is that most if not all of the farmers that complain about transmission lines are connected to the grid them selves and don't mind using electricity that has been transmitted through big power lines from where the current power stations are. They are just selfish. If they would go off the grid and make their own energy then they would maybe have a leg to stand on but when they have been big helpers in polluting and don't want to help getting rid of pollution then they should shut up. Shure they probably will loose if a power line crosses their land but it is time they help paying. They want to keep the cake but eat it too. The idea of making urea or at least hydrogen locally is very interesting. I believe a university in Melbourne is working on an easier way to make it. The idea of using electricity at selected times from solar installations on farms set up for other uses like water pumping is good I think. I have only solar on my little farm and I have the problem that in the winter the efficiency is low. I find that on cloudy rainy days I don't generate mora than appr. 10% of peak value and that is the same at my home installation where I am connected to the grid as well. If unused solar installations could then be connected to the grid at lest some could be saved.
For the first time in history, all of humanity is facing a common external enemy. This enemy is the climate. In order to survive in such a time, we need to unite in efforts to build a Creative Society. People are already ready to act, and as an example of this - International online forum "Global Crisis. We are People. We Want to Live". Look it up on TH-cam, it not only identifies problems but also suggests a way out!
Great work FCA!
I commend the Farmers for Climate Action and affiliated agricultural interest groups for allying together to lobby for more decisive governmental approaches to the climate catastrophe that is unfolding around us. I claim no "inside knowledge", but I suspect that recent Australian governments have abandoned all attempts to anticipate internal threats to the security of the Australian economy, and have defaulted to easier "reactive" and "spin" based approaches to our economic risk, rather than taking the "harder" roads of considered risk analysis, industry planning and risk mitigation. The question that remains unanswered for me is: "What motivates our federal Coalition government to consistently ignore evidence-based reports such as the "Fork in the road" analysis, in preference for the deceptions of denial of the enormity of threat we all face from anthropocentric global warming?"

This is an excellent webinar explaining Hydrogen 101. Kudos to FfCA for inviting speakers of this calibre. I listened to this webinar live but am pleased to see it publically accessible for others to tune into at a later date. You should know that there are ‘city-living, latte-sippers’ who support the collective aim of significantly lowering carbon emissions and we (BZE for example) support FfCA excellent initiatives. Happy 6th Birthday BTW. 👏👏👏
I was wondering why more explanation as to testing for TEC (Total Exchange Capacity)? Exchange capacity buffering etc was refereed to but not describes how it works. There was a major focus on PH in the presentation which is fine, however we really need to understand the ratios of Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium Phosphorus, Sulphur. Clay soils work quite differently to sandy soils. More explanation here please.
RELAX, it can never be a "Climate Crisis". Besides, one day we will simply run out of oil, and that's it, it just can't happen! Please do not panic and read why this is so: In the Climate Debate, we are urged to "listen to science". Currently science agrees on several important points. But what is not always so easy to understand is what is hidden behind what everyone seems to agree on. The following statements are uncontroversial and are supported by climate science research: (1) Climate change is happening. Researchers agree that the global average temperature has risen by about 1 degree since the "small ice age”, that ended around 1850. It is also agreed that the polar ice masses have reduced since reliable measurements started about 40 years ago. But the TRILLION DOLLAR question is how much of this increased warming has been caused by human activity and by other factors? Solar energy output is a major factor that can be observed every night as the sun sets. Opinions are divided about how much anthropogenic activity have affected global temperatures during the current century. Nothing is proven so opinions remain divided. The reason why opinions are divided is because the ideas of the future are NOT based on observations and objective science, but on estimations generated by various data models! However, the results we get from these computer generated "guesstimates" depend on the data and many assumptions fed into the computers. At each step of the modelling, small discrepancies are added and the further into the future a forecast project, the further away from the likely outcome we will be. Add to that the lack of solid knowledge about the natural periodic changes of the climate, then the result is more a result of the assumptions we assume than of the future developments. So far, our success in modelling the change of climate systems has been extremely poor. (2) Human activity adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is true, but what many ignore is that most of the carbon dioxide in the air is absorbed into the seas and vegetation and thus humans only provide a limited addition to the atmosphere. To get an idea of how large our fossil contribution really is, you can compare with how much carbon exists in the various reservoirs measured in Billions of tonnes of carbon (B-ton). According to the IPCC, there are an estimated 38,000 B-ton of carbon in the oceans, 2,000 B-ton on land and 800 B-ton in the atmosphere; but the human contribution is only about 10 B-ton carbon per year. There is disagreement on how quickly the carbon absorption takes place from the atmosphere to the oceans. The UN's climate panel IPCC claims that about half have disappeared into the oceans after 40 years. Other researchers claim that most of carbon has been absorbed from the atmosphere after about 60 years. We are never told that within a short lifetime there is little human-made carbon dioxide left swirling around in the atmosphere, which of course puts grand CCS (CO2 Capture and Storage) projects in a entirely different light. If the increase continues at the same rate we have today (currently less than 2 ppm per year), we will not reach half of historic green CO2 levels at the end of the century. After another 100 years and most oil is consumed. "Oil aint oil forever." This shows that any ideas of a threatening “climate crisis” can be dismissed once and for all. Past climate and CO2 geological history shows it just can't happen! (3) Carbon dioxide affects the temperature. Carbon dioxide is a so-called greenhouse gas and thus influences global temperature. However, it is far from the only greenhouse gas, and irrelevant if compared to water vapour. The atmosphere contains a few percent water vapour, which is in the order of fifty times as much as carbon dioxide. It is no contest because water vapour is also four times more efficient as heat-absorbing greenhouse gas. A doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide could increase the global average temperature by just one degree. Those who claim two degrees are thinking that one-degree extra heat results in an increased amount of water vapour which in turn results in one more degree. For forty years, the IPCC has maintained that a doubling of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere leads to a temperature increase of between 1.5 and 4.5 degrees. Science and Data observations now indicate that the figure is in the lower end (e.g., Lewis and Curry et al). Clear and simple, we do not know how the human contribution of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere affects the climate. Clearly, we should be targeting our precious resources on more important areas (global and local poverty, health, education, communication etc.) rather than spending trillions trying to reduce our fossil carbon emissions. Fossil fuels today account for 80% of the world's energy use and currently there is no realistic way to replace most of this energy in say ten or even thirty years time. Solar and wind power can only account for a maximum of 15% of the world's energy needs over the next 10 years, until the energy storage problems are resolved. Nuclear energy is a powerful alternative that can reduce the world's use of fossil fuels, not least in China and India, but it remains controversial in many countries. According to the Paris Agreement, that is limitlessly generous for China and India (about 2/5 of world population) who are permitted to continuously increase their carbon dioxide emissions by around 16 billion tonnes, while Australia, Europe and the United States are trying to reduce their emissions with 1.8 billion tonnes. If the energy use in the Western world would decrease by about 40%, which is said to be necessary to live up to the politically determined climate goals, we in the Western world will be forced to live in a poor low-energy society with prosperity equivalent to what we had at the beginning of the 20th century. This suicidal sacrifice of our own future generations will not affect the climate one single bit. We know that a continued investment in reducing carbon dioxide entails large costs and huge damage to the economy, infrastructure, to our healthcare, real jobs and quality of life. There is nothing good in spending time, money and resources and acting as if a “Armageddon” was near when no such danger is even yet proven!
