We looked at the list of internet speeds amongst countries in the world and wondered why Australia was so far down the list.
We looked at the world’s worst carbon polluters both per capita and actual and again wondered why Australia was so far down the list.
Finally, we brokered the concept of whether it was possible to go cold turkey in the use of coal.
It is worth considering that in the past at various times we have also gone cold turkey on some things.
We stopped killing whales cold turkey when it was obvious the species was in danger (admittedly with the exception of one country, but the world is working on them).
We stopped cold turkey the use of certain refrigerants when the danger to the Ozone Layer was obvious.
Could the world do the same with coal?
