@Hillsgal, thanks for that considered post. Our problem is simple, as I somewhat flippantly called out in the Service thread…
I suggest at least a partial answer about Europe is the population density across the continent, where people live amongst each other without a Bourke let alone a Birdsville equivalent, plus their larger population. It is easy to rationalise away a large country with a small population’s impact, but it is not just on government that has pushed back on the problem, it is the voters who put those in power where they are. Enough are most interested in a dollar in their pockets and apparently secured maritime borders (although not so much secured airport borders)
Well done for raising emissions and pollution as you have!
