The ANU’s Dr Fiona Beck(right) said during her first panel at COP28 said that Australia is uniquely suited to lead, not just ride a mounting wave of renewable energy entrepreneurship.
Dr Fiona Beck and fellow academics from the Australian National University (ANU) are delivering an important message in Dubai this week at COP28 — the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as the Conference of the Parties.
“It’s really hard not to be quite emotional about this,” said Dr Beck, an Associate Professor at the ANU College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics (CECC). “We are in the critical decade in hitting our 1.5 degree limit on global warming.”
Even as Australia has begun reaching out to Pacific island neighbours to let them know their populations will be welcomed here if their homelands are washed away by rising seas, Dr Beck says that the 198 Paris Agreement signatories are decarbonising faster than expected, due in large part to the fact that renewable energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels in Australia and many other nations.
During her first panel at COP28, Dr Beck said that Australia is uniquely situated to lead, not just ride the mounting wave of renewable energy entrepreneurship.
Australia has first class wind and solar resources, and the land mass with which to harvest them. Also, the major industries in Australia are exporters of raw materials, rather than large manufacturers. Thus, transitions to green technologies can be made more quickly.
“Australia has been a very large exporter of energy and energy-intensive products for a long time,” Dr Beck said. “We are a trusted trading partner in our region. We are a trusted partner of the USA, of Europe, and we can use those credentials to accelerate trade in zero carbon commodities, clean metals, for example.”
A recent ANU study showed that Australia is the nation best situated to produce green iron and other minerals that require energy-intensive processing, as well as green transport fuels, urea for fertiliser, and polysilicon for solar panels.
“Even though Australia is producing 1% of global emissions, onshore commodities dug up in Australia actually account for another 5% of global emissions,” Dr Beck said. “So there is an opportunity to not only decarbonise ourselves but also our trading partners and neighbours in the Asia Pacific.”
Dr Beck pointed out that our trading partners are now asking about the carbon footprint of commodities they import from Australia in order to meet their own targets for reduced emissions.
Editor: Dr Beck warns of rising sea levels in the Pacific Islands. Does she know that the islands are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean? So is the entire eastern seaboard of Australia and this ocean joins the Torres Strait waters. How is it there has not been a one centimetre rise in sea water at the Seisia Wharf located at the Tip of Cape York or any measurable sea level rises in Sydney Harbour some 3200 klms to the south?
Does she know that a few islands in the Torres Strait are formations of mud and coral and are slowly sinking because there is no solid sub-structure. Furthermore there has been no measurable rise in the Indian Ocean surrounding Western Australia.

What site Ed?
Aussiemal you might like this 10-11 minutes video from 1973, was the first mass collaboration I can remember by globalist frontmen and their msm mouthpieces to hypnotise the public on worldwide climate and resource 2030 end days.
When their Aunty, has to join the dotted lines on a printout from their super modern futuristic computer, that brain washed a generation of fascinated, impressionable young developing minds, it shows the gullibility of humanity.
Some university students never leave the cocoon to experience the real world, in turn passing on to future generations their programming.

Our firewall didn’t like this site unfortunately. Ed
Can our universities produce any dumber pupils who are awarded all sorts of titles? I doubt it.
As a high school graduate I learnt more in science than these retards will ever learn. And to think that we are informed that they have brilliant minds and can solve all of mankind’s problems. These are also those that are educating AI, so you can image what that result will produce.
Yes Australia, protected by the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group off the UAE coast, our representatives along with those from another 130+ countries, at the 28th UN Climate Change Conference, signed us up to the Declaration on Climate and Health, to chase invisible fairies and watch 44.01 make rocks from CO2, because the UAE needs more rocks to drill for oil, than green shrubbery.

At COP28 you could have sat down on the sand, for a fireside chat with McKinsey and Company to talk, what the feck, sorry what the tech is going on?

Yes decarbonise yourself Beck, please do.
While you’re at it decarbonise the inbred puppet king, a cross dressing terrorist and one banker, ten thousand and two.
Magna Carta is not their cup of tea, but Terra Carta will be their payback for centuries of folly by the common man.
Their medieval goblet encrusted with dead souls, will soon be overflowing with plundered treasures from the southern seas, protected by imperial force and offered up by the corrupt for a buck.

TonyRyan … outstanding comment Thankyou.
I’ve snipped the part about the ozone layer to send to a deluded family member which I keep trying to wake up, although they steadfastly refuse to see! Maybe this might help 🙏
I most certainly don’t have your knowledge, so comments such as these often me ‘ah ha’ moments.
I’ve always thought that sending rockets to space must have a deleterious effect but have never heard it explained so simply before.

Sea levels aren’t rising. They don’t rise by “$$cientific” decree. We are sinking into stupidity and manipulation.
When they bring out the likes of a Greta Thunberg to convince the normies you know someone is really having a lend of the hapless sucker.
zzz3856: “tonyryan43… You are always a mine of information – but how to get it out there. This should be front page news..”
Simple, give me back myABC and I’ll make it work for the normies instead of the abnormies. lol
Commenter Tony R
I was in Thailand and about ten years ago some official was asked about their coastal works and he said the sea level may rise in other places but it won’t rise here
Rising sea levels or sinking Australian Tectonic Plate under the Pacific Plate?
When I get into the bathtub, I notice the water rise to an equal height at the other end of the tub; last time I went down to the Bay to do some fishin’, the water was at the same level as it was 50 years ago. So I ask myself, if the sea rises over there, shouldn’t it rise here too?……..Wait, maybe it’s just taken a long time to get here!

tonyryan43… You are always a mine of information – but how to get it out there. This should be front page news..
Maybe you can send to some of the decent senators here like Rennick for instance.. see if he can make it public, raise it in Parliament.. even if no one listens it will be recorded won’t it?
Claude Ramains
When is someone going to point out to these fools that everything on this planet is made from carbon.
Many have pointed it out to them many times, but they dismiss it all as typical ‘dangerous misinformation’ believed and propagated by deluded ‘climate deniers’, (like us) who refuse to follow ‘the science’according to their idol and most revered authority on ‘the science’: high school drop-out: Saint Greta of Thunberg.
Rebecca said – “Phillip wanted to come back as an infectious virus.”
More likely he’ll be contending with the Worm that Dieth Not than musing about being a virus – but who said he’s getting out of Hell?
Even as a virus, that’s where he’s staying. Can a virus roast? I guess it will have all Eternity to find out.
Editor, cairns news said – “Does she know that…”
Dude, her stellar career and continued employment, not to mention those lucrative government handouts and worldwide celebrity status, absolutely REQUIRE that she DOES NOT KNOW.
And, of course, she DOES know, but refuses to acknowledge any of it.
And she’s going to a custom condo in HELL. This is what a future resident of perpetual Hellfire, roasting on a spit FOREVER, looks like prior to their departure.
Sure, we can all make excuses, but there’s NO mitigation where this sold-out specimen is headed.

There can be only one interpretation of this wildly impossible equation: It is wrong. This means Fiona Beck is what most of us have come to recognise is a ‘grossly over-paid academic’; a phrase redefined by the newly awakened as “heavily-bribed mental retard who has the moral compass of a promiscuous leech”. Yes, crude, but accurate.
Gee Tony, you’re very forgiving and possibly a bit too polite. 😉
Joe Bogan
Even though just a technicality, you’re right: it was his despicably horrible father, ‘Phil the Greek’ who uttered that infamous Malthusian sentiment, which soon became famous and even endorsed by many of the stupid sheep he wanted to see wiped out by the deadly virus, he hoped to be reincarnated as.
Could be. Ed
Kiribati or Kiribas is a few far flung islands the easternmost of which has been salinating from geological subsidence for a long time, you can look at it on G666glemaps and see some abandoned US infrastructure from the war or such time. Geologists say Western Australia was all underwater and some places around Perth are 200m above sea level now and used to be underwater, looking at the rounded rock formations and so forth. Pauline Hanson said their islands were sinking and they ridiculed her, why, it was true. Some place in Yellowstone park the ground goes up and down by about 20 metres. The glaciers are moving slowly too, about ten years from top to bottom. That’s why they are shorter now, because it was hotter ten years ago. Simple science drowned out by official bullshit.
Commenter Ryan43,
Who cannot recall they were paying the blackfellas $500 each to take the experimental injections and other such tricks

Phillip wanted to come back as an infectious virus. The idiot, he’s been one most of his life.
Also thought I’d mention it while I was at it that I think it was Prince Philip that said if he was reincarnated he would like to come back as a bug to wipe out all the undesirables. Maybe Charlie said it too !!
I like the comment by TonyRyan43 and Claude Ramains. Couldn’t have said it better myself though Tony added a few pieces I wouldn’t have thought of now though I have heard of all these satellites.
As our august CN editor has noted so correctly, if the seas on either side of Australia have not risen, which together make up the largest sea mass on this planet, connected by the Antarctic seas, which also have refused to budge despite furious attempts by Fiona Beck’s computer, how can our Pacific neighbours be experiencing catastrophic oceanic rise?
There can be only one interpretation of this wildly impossible equation: It is wrong. This means Fiona Beck is what most of us have come to recognise is a ‘grossly over-paid academic’; a phrase redefined by the newly awakened as “heavily-bribed mental retard who has the moral compass of a promiscuous leech”. Yes, crude, but accurate.
The tethered captives upon which this leech sucks are the taxpayers of Australia, who are forced to fund an entire tank of leeches known as ACADEMIA. This is the genesis of the phrase ‘Think Tank’.
But hark! Right now, in the darkest recesses of my ancient and decrepit mind, I hear a bell ringing. That howl in the night that is spelled ANU, has jogged my memory and another shriek in the night spelled NARU intrudes on my consciousness. Ah, it all comes back… NARU. The North Australia Research Unit of, you guessed it… ANU.
From the mid-1970s NARU created the theories and postulations that eventually became official Aboriginal Development Policy. We all know how well that went down. Eighty billion dollars up in smoke. Followed by that spiritually-uplifting experience we fondly recall as the Voice Referendum.
So, not satisfied with destroying a viable Aboriginal future, ambition has got the better of these effete trogs and they now want to eliminate human viability on a global scale.
But here is the punchline. Rogue academics and scientists not only want to starve us all by eliminating energy and sustainable technology, they plan to eliminate Planet Earth’s ozone layer in just a few years.
By all means, put your specs on and read again. Get the kids to read the words out loud. See? You read this correctly. These psychos are part of a master plan to wipe out all life.
How? Rockets and missiles.
Each of these, mostly to launch satellites, produces exhaust fumes that destroy the ozone layer for a few hundred square kilometres. This is caused by chlorine, black carbon, aluminium, and other pollutants. When the rockets and satellites deorbit, the shock wave creates nitric oxide, which also destroys the ozone layer.
Some five thousand satellites are aloft or planned to be launched in the coming months. Animals, birds, and insects are already ill or dying. Humans report new and strange debilitations. Although some scientists have noted the by-now-impossible-to-ignore injuries and deaths from mRNA jabs and suspect these as the cause, many of the new debilitations have been sustained by the unvaccinated; and, of course, the animals, birds and insects also were not vaccinated.
The evidence is anecdotal but Starlink has been implicated, although these contain deorbit explosive devices so, evidently, somebody has given some thought to the problem. What we have not been told is that hundreds of these ozone-destroying launchings are to occur in Australia; eventually, some five thousand; more than enough to kill us all. Rawanda plans many, many thousands, so we should plan our tearful goodbyes now. Nobody is monitoring so we can’t provide a date for Armageddon. Wait, I forgot. The 4000 people of Nhulunbuy, NT, will die in the same 5 minutes when a US missile fuel store vaporises to form a vast cloud of chlorine gas. Only Biden can provide a more precise date. CN has the details.
I know some of you are very astute and you will be saying, “Hey, that was a quantum leap from ANU climate lunacy, to Aboriginal genocide, and then to missile launchings. What is the common thread?” Yeah, you are right. The first ozoneless zones will be over Arnhem Land, one of the most mineral-rich regions on earth. Eliminating blackfellas from this region has always been the goal of ANU and its globalist parent.
I’m pretty tired of these professional students whose sole income relies on government funding and is therefore held up by an agenda driven government as “experts” because they can give the appearance of objectivity.
It couldn’t be further from the truth.
They have no real world experience with anyone outside their academic bubble and they’re highly motivated to come to any conclusion the govt wants if they want to retain their funding and position.
Then the govt trots them off to the latest WEF powwow where their intellectual pride is blown up into a huge world class balloon that refuses to be popped with the pin prick of any actual facts.
All if these climate change cultists predictions about the climate for the last 40 years have turned out to be completely wrong!
None of the cities or coastlines have been deluged by rising sea levels, the ice caps haven’t melted and the polar bears are still thriving.
They can’t even predict the weather for the next couple of days let alone a decade away and yet they still force all these insane tyrannical restrictions on the population to somehow save the planet that they themselves are destroying.
When is someone going to point out to these fools that everything on this planet is made from carbon.
If they want to get to “net zero carbon emissions” that ultimately means the elimination of everything…. Even themselves.
The Emperor has no clothes!
““It’s really hard not to be quite emotional about this,” said Dr Beck, an Associate Professor at the ANU College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics (CECC).”
Who gives a sht about Dr Becks’s emotions? Are we supposed to assume that her “Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics college” has special knowledge in the study of climate, immigration and trade?
Nevertheless, even if she knows jack sht about just climate, even as much as Greta Thunberg, I’m sure she’ll do well out of her spruiking mission.
And that’s pretty much a good reason for everyone to get quite emotional about.
Re: photo caption, I think it was Prince Philip who originated that famous quote, just a technicality
Editor you must not question the narrative. You must believe.
Besides, using their logic Australia should sink first because if you look at a map, Australia’s lower. Even the professional truant knows that, well she would if she wasn’t saving Germany’s leopards in the Ukraine … Dumb bit.. no no, Lovely Greta, sweet child in time.
I have two words for Fiona: Far Cough!!!!!
