Beneath the virus lurks a bigger emergency, but the world is distracted from the climate threat

What did our battered old planet do to bring this run of wretchedly bad luck? Just before the 2008 Wall Street disaster, Washington was about to force emitters to pay for the privilege of dumping carbon waste in the upper atmosphere. Congress approved a cap and trade scheme so its economy could trade its way to a low carbon future. In a similar spirit the Rudd government was legislating its own carbon trading model.

The coming decade may be our last chance to contain the chaos driven by humankind’s craziest experiment: the idea that carbon can be stored in the thin filigree of air around the planet. The Paris Agreement provides a road map and the falling price of renewables a market impulse.But again the economic cycle intrudes with a recession driven by a pandemic that Bill Gates had prophesied but no nations had prepared for .

But who will bring together 40,000 international delegates if the virus is lurking and we’re still waiting for the save-all vaccine? If the world’s poorest countries are in a struggle for economic survival, none may have the resources to save the last rainforest cover on the planet.A pandemic-caused economic crash may be considered a Black Swan. Nassim Nicholas Taleb coined the expression for his 2007 book about unforeseen events of huge consequence.

Oh here we go again. The climate lefty newspapers at it again

The one good thing about the coronavirus is that it's pushed the global warming hoax back 20 years. No more $600k subsidies for unreliable wind turbines.

Red Bull boss suggested team's drivers catch virus while season on holdRed Bull's motorsport boss Helmut Marko suggested his Formula One and junior drivers should catch the coronavirus while racing is on hold so they would be protected from sickness later in the year. Same concept as a 'chicken pox party'. I thought we decided that this develop herd immunity thing isn't going to help our health service care for people. Why do health authorities proclaim 'herd-immunity' from vaccinations is the greatest wonder of the world but don't believe in natural herd-immunity?
