This is something i just found what the Greens think, what about vic, nsw floods and last year the reason for no rain was globle warming.

GREENS leader Bob Brown says the coal mining industry should foot the bill for the Queensland floods because it helped cause them.

The floods are Queensland's worst for nearly 40 years, with more than 26,000 homes affected and at least 16 people killed.

Senator Brown said the Federal Government should impose the original version of the Resources Super Profits Tax, and use the funds to pay for the clean-up.

"It's the single biggest cause - burning coal - for climate change and it must take its major share of responsibility for the weather events we are seeing unfolding now," he said in Hobart today.

"We know that the oceans around Australia are at record high temperatures, and that's causing the moisture in the air which is leading to these catastrophic floods.

yet it was global warming why we where in drought ? and the flood happened in 74 cos of a cyclone and torrential rain yet there was no such thing as global warming? maybe the greens need to keep there mouths shut and then there wouldnt be so much Co2 in the air

[Keen-as-fisho]

When did the coal mining in Australia start? On channel 7 news flashback tonight they showed the flood levels of 1974 and the curren flood as well as a flood that whent through the city in the 1890's that was 4 meters higher then the 74 flood.

[fisherjack1394]

these floods are just a cycle that gose around. floods are bound to happen if your town or city is on a creek or river. I heard an old guy in his 80s so onthe radio that up in cairns it used to flood like this every christmas he thinks that we have just retuned to the old weather pattern.

[ipk18]

Bob Brown thinks dams cause floods too, I think people living near the river may not think so

[rosstralia46]

yer agree with jacko especially out at chinchilla mum can remeber it flooding it stuff then we went through years of drought now flooding again it happens

There have actually been lots of floods in brisbane. See http://www.australianfishing.com.au/tacklebox/river-history

so logical... he's a genius

Here's one for the GUMBBIE bob brown in the flood's of 1893 brisbane had 2 floods of over 8metre's so I think this ass bandit need's to do his reserch before he open his mouth.

[tomca]

On a serious note. When have the greens ever let facts get in the way?

With all the tofu and rabbit food they eat, how much methane are they pumping into the atmosphere?

[Bassythekid]

Bob Brown is a good example why you shouldn't take drugs when your young.

I think that most people know that i am an environmentalist and am not ashamed of it. In this case i think it might be a little bit of shit-stirring on bob's behalf but if it wasn't for people like him the earth would be in a lot sorrier state than it is now. Put all the climate change stuff aside and ask yourself if you want to live in a concrete jungle with rivers that you can walk on, like in India?? The mining industry has certainly picked up its game in terms of rehabilitating its previous sites but without greenies greedy developers would just be able to rape the land and sell it back to the people who owned it in the first place. By the way all of the flood data pre-wivenhoe has absolutely no relevance now and cannot be compared to current flood levels.

Gee Rob not have ago here however I think you are giving the greens a lot more credit than they are due. I originally I studied Ag Science with land resource management as my major. Science and industry bodies have more to do with the change in processes than an extreme group of people that have a really loose grip on science and the truth.

[Davo_Dinkum]

i like green .

i don't like red or yellow .

[jared1979]

Being an evironmentalist is all good eveyone needs to do there bit.But Brown saying the mining industry should foot the bill is idiotic?

Many of us do hold and practice sincere and understandable environmental and conservational beliefs.

The whole "green thing" was hijacked and raped many decades ago.

Constant blatant crap,spruiked by the rabids and the politically motivated ,just turn more people away from the real issues of the true environmental and conservational needs.

As far as shit-stirring is concerned,I`m not sure He knows what is natural and what is unnatural

[nadders]

The way I see it, the more the greens push idealism in the public light without a solid evidentiary background, the more clouded the real issues get.

therefore ya mate bob jumping up and down about this that and the other thing is probably doing more harm than good for the environment, because good management requires good science instead of emotive guesswork

[Bassythekid]

I think Bob has had his own sh]t pushed to far up into his tiny brain.

[ellicat]

There is a wide gap between being green in the true sense and being a follower/supporter/believer in The Greens

The Greens are full of people with two heads and only half a brain. Their followers may include some smart people who are in love with, what they believe is, the concept but are too disinterested in what they are really supporting.

Here's Bob's latest video he put out on 12 Jan 2011.

A very strange spending priority at this time in my opinion.

...but Brown is a politician way more than he is a true conservationist/greeny.

[elops]

370 OOO for a feasability study 15 mil to build it.

In comparison that amount of money would.

Remove Luscombe wier

Remove old mt crosby wier

Build a viable fishway on mt crosby wier.

Complete the Mary river cod reasearch and recovery plan including a new hatchery for it.

Provide enough funds to continue with research and production of fingerlings for southern sub species Jungle Perch restoration.

But what the hell, lets build a footpath in Canberra.

[ellicat]

Makes you sick really, Steve. They really are a crooked bunch preying on the weak-minded and simple, disinterested souls of the nation. Lower than looters.

75% of the dreaded carbon produced by coal fired power stations is captured before leaving the chimney thing. A figure the industry is continually working to improve. Any impost on these fellas will trickle through the economy like the floods through Grantham. There is not one thing we do or use in our lives today that does not rely in some way on electricity.

Clothes

Food

Transport

Medication

Home appliances

Computers

Cars

Bikes

Tooth brushes

Water

Charity

Posting a letter

Paper production

Fish stocking

You name it and there will be somewhere in the process line where electricity is essential.

About the only thing I can think of is starting a fire in the nude with two sticks from naturally sewn trees.

[Bassythekid]

how about fixing the roads we already have, what a ding dong

[daveylad]

I dont think we should forget who put them into the position of Power within the Govt, Gillard sold her party out to the Greens to get into power I'm sure Brown will take every advantage of this to push their agenda home holding Labor to ransom for his vote when he can and in the process maintain her position, hopefully people will realise the idiotic things they are pushing by the time of the next elections and I think their time will be over for the time being

[nadders]

that footpath gibberish would be a great one for the fluff press (today tonight/aca/etc) to publicise, i'm sure with the many thousands of flood victims and damaged infrastructure, nobody in australia would appreciate head in the clouds bob proposing a pretty footpath in canberra to soak up a decent chunk of money that could go towards rebuilding

[werewolf]

Don't volcanoes make FAR more emissions than anything man made has ever produced?

Thats Bob's next project, Equal rights for gay Whales and Ban the Volcanoes:laugh:
