If global warming is caused by the burning of fossil fuels in the atmosphere depleting the ozone layer, why do we still have such a large jet airline industry? In the age of teleconferencing we don’t need to “be” in the meeting.

Has any government or private business tried to launch a greener (propellor) option between major cities for people who don’t need the speed of jet travel?

I understand trees can neutralise carbons but not if the carbons are a few thousand feet above the trees.

I know i’m mistaken, I just dont know how.

Thank you

What about ASIO’s right under the law to kidnap and illegally detain people innocent of any crime and courts who must jail the victims if they tell anyone?

What about the right of immigration public servants to lock up people without trial or charge and without ever having to tell them why and when it turns out to be illegal they get promoted?

What about the rights of our citizens not to be tortured by our so-called allies?

What about a parliament that decreed that innocent people could be held in a place like Woomera for life, in any sort of brutal conditions, even if born there, if they happen to be stateless?

Get a grip man.
