ASIA PACIFIC TODAY Podcast. Gregory Wrightstone Executive Director Co2 Coalition

Today our guest is Gregory Wrightstone, Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition. 

Gregory Wrightstone is a geologist with more than 40 years of experience researching and studying various aspects of the Earth’s processes. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Waynesburg University and a master’s from West Virginia University, both in the field of geology. He has been accepted as an expert reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (AR6). Greg is the author of the bestselling book Inconvenient Facts – the science that Al Gore doesn’t want you to know.

The CO2 Coalition was established in 2015 to educate thought leaders, policy makers, and the public about the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy. 

The Coalition seeks to engage in an informed and dispassionate discussion of climate change, humans’ role in the climate system, the limitations of climate models, and the consequences of mandated reductions in CO2 emissions.

They seek to strengthen the understanding of the role of science and the scientific process in addressing complex public policy issues like climate change.

EDITORIAL

Election after Election in Australia, politicians sacrifice themselves to climate change - promising to do more to destroy the Australian coal industry and make our energy supply more costly and insecure. 

It's our version of Groundhog Day....every election, from state to federal. Get rid of that stinking coal

And while they like the idea of renewable energy, they don’t like paying the high prices that go with it. Radical climate change policies and the parties promoting them, are rejected time and again.

But it matters not what the people want; climate change policies and their destructive goals become ever more entrenched with their advocacy from global, corporate and vested interests.
 
Most of us know little about the science, or whether human induced climate change is responsible for the bushfires, droughts and hurricanes, that we are told are growing in intensity. Too bad that climate policies will do nothing to address this. And why is the debate so lopsided? Why is it always focused on renewable energy? What about carbon capture, or more nuclear energy capacity - if emissions are really of concern?  Me...I like coal. There is a lot of BS around.
