....that anything Austria does makes zero difference to world emissions. Why do they not target the countries that can make a difference?

Tora; You're post is a little bit unintelligible. Could you please clarify? (Pretend it isn't me asking)

that's wonderful webbo, BA

The right flavour of YouTube, that was lucky.
//…the economic consequences of climate change are going to be pretty horrendous if nobody does anything to mitigate it//

The economic consequences of doing what some – particularly European – countries are already doing and are further proposing will visit far more economic damage on their citizens than climate change ever will. Governments of the world need to accept that nothing they do will control the climate, and turn their efforts instead towards coping with it rather than continue pretending it can be controlled.

The nonsensical hysteria that is gripping children as young as five, courtesy of their fanatical parents, is nothing short of child abuse. Young children should not be exposed to such hysteria. Unfortunately it leads to things like this:

One of the proposals from this “study” is a system of “carbon rationing” where individuals would only be allowed to buy so much of certain polluting goods. The country is desperate for growth. An ever-increasing population requires ever-increasing economic growth. It’s not a model I subscribe to because I believe that an ever increasing population is completely unsustainable. But governments of all hues seem happy with the idea. If they are, the notion that individuals’ spending should be curtailed in this way is nothing short of lunacy. If consumption is to be curtailed the surest way to achieve that is to reduce the over-population (which causes far, far more damage than climate change ever will). But that is seen as heresy and that’s what happens when the lunatics wrest control of the asylum.
"countries are already doing and are further proposing will visit far more economic damage on their citizens than climate change ever will"

you are wrong.

Bang on as usual judge.
He believes it's fine for him to describe these five- to fifteen-year-olds as, "brats" without knowing the first thing about them.
TCL; It's what they do - they hurl silly name-calling insults (in this case, brats) without any intelligence behind their raspberry noises. Have never grown out of the playground. I don't know whether to blame their upbringing or their genes. Ah well; we all grow old and die - none of this baby stuff matters in the long run.
Tora's been pronouned. :-)
Well spotted, Dougie. I didn't do it on purpose - I was genuinely trying not to reference 'them' as 'him', in case people guessed 'what' I was referring to. May the force be with 'thou and all thy'st flocks, kine, neighbours' asses and oxen, and women who have not yet lain with...errrr...anybody, really."

// the world's no2 climate change responder //

An often repeated lie.
if global average surface temperatures reach 4 degrees of warming above pre-industrial levels then huge parts of the earth will be unfit for human habitation (though some areas will likely become habitable) and agriculture on the scale that we understand it will be impossible...

unless european governments fancy setting off nuclear weapons they aren't doing anything that is more economically damaging than climate change will eventually become
Question Author
21:13, mankind has control of 4% of the carbon, UK 4% of that, if we went to actual zero, let alone "net zero" it would make no difference.
Best if we all do nothing, then. What a plonker!
Best if we don't bankrupt ourselves chasing rainbows.
Whoops, we’ve slipped to 11th place in that highly dubious table.
