There is no clear barbed wire fence between Eurobodalla and  Bega shires, and in this instance the concerns of one shire are clearly the concerns of the other in relation to amateur hunting in national parks, the danger of encouraging children to regard shooting as a sport, and the inevitable   damage to done to the area as a peaceful, holiday destination.

It may be relevant to report  here that if the South Coast Hunters Club is repeatedly thwarted in their attempts to sell guns in the Narooma Sports and Recreation Centre they may move south!

I learn from a United States Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that "everything in modern society, from computers, laptops, solar panels, iPads and flat screen televisions, to advanced medical equipment and all our nation’s critical infrastructure is built out of fossil resources and their derivative products"; and, that “no-one could think of a single product that could be made out of wind and sunlight".

Also, since some amazing claims have been made about carbon dioxide (CO2), I discovered that humans exhale CO2 at a rate of approximately 40,000 parts per million (ppm), but inhale CO2 at the rate that currently exists in the atmosphere, which is just below 400ppm. 

As well, it is also the only gas the US Federal Government has ever tried to regulate that humans exhale at a greater rate than they inhale.

Concerningly, none of the past four administrators of their Environmental Protection Agency could answer questions on these rates. 

Moreover, I learned that the European Union has announced a major shift away from its green priority towards a new focus on economic recovery, competitiveness and energy cost. 

Following the lead shown by Australia and NSW.  

Seemingly Europe's new leaders aren't obsessed with climate change like their predecessors.
