  1. There are several studies that challenge the ice core data, and show that it is incompatible with actual conditions. For example https://www.researchgate.net/publication/396389619_Historical_CO_levels_in_periods_of_global_greening
  2. Yes CO2 as been much higher in the past.
  3. The trolley wire Kiruna trucks were quite popular in Europe. But they failed at Mt Isa as they produced too much heat from braking downhill. They did not have batteries, just produced the braking effect by sending the power into big resistor banks. Many mines in Europe and Canada have heaters at the surface just to stop the intake shaft from freezing up.
  4. Trailing cable electric excavators have been around for fifty years at least.all the really big shovels and draglines are electric. Also the bucket wheel excavators in the Latrobe Valley. Electric wheel haultrucks, with diesel engines driving generators, were developed in the 1960s and widely used. Underground, we had trolley wire electric haul trucks from Kiruna at Mount Isa in the 1980s. The first trolley wire electric locomotives were used in Victorian gold mines and at Broken Hill South from 1902 onward.
  5. And this is the sign on the dunny door. It means one in all in and you can identify a anything you want.
  6. Visiting the art gallery to see the Archies. Map they gave us is not all in my language.
  7. Don’t confuse site power with total power which includes loaders, trucks etc.
  8. We are off to Sydney today for a week. Haven’t been there for fifteen years. Broome would be better.
  9. I did a lot of work with a Gemco auger rig similar to that, sampling tailings dumps. It had a VW engine. I learned to fix most parts of it.
  10. Willie you don’t know who M Bell was on that name plate do you? I had a schoolmate of that name who worked out that way.
  11. I was giving DT some slack to see what outcomes he achieved, but I have to concede that he is completely deranged.
  12. A capital gain on a personal use asset is subject to CGT if it cost you more than $10,000 to acquire the asset. Capital losses on personal use assets are ignored. This means you can't use a capital loss on a personal use asset to reduce capital gains on other assets (including other personal use assets). Personal use assets are CGT assets that you keep for your personal use or enjoyment. They include: boats furniture electrical goods household items an option or right to acquire a personal use asset a debt resulting from a CGT event involving a CGT asset kept for your personal use making a private loan to a family member or friend. The following are not classed as personal use assets: collectables – these may be subject to CGT your main residence, which is generally exempt from CGT cars, which are exempt from CGT. If you dispose of personal use assets individually that would usually be sold as a set, you get the exemption only if you acquired the set for $10,000 or less.
  13. Some things they track. For example, all aircraft change of registrations are notified to the tax office.
  14. $42 M in Australia today does not buy you a radio announcer or a union delegate, let alone a munitions storage.
