Also we've had mass die offs of fish in our rivers down south due to algal blooms etc twice this year in one river and some not reported.
As well our state gov has cracked the door open with fracking now being allowed in the Kimberley.
And you will all probably have heard of the baiting of nationally protected great whites.
To cap it off over the road from us a new development has started and the contractors yesterday cleared the dozen beautiful big gum trees that we're growing there. Chipped the lot. Not one piece saved or kept for a beneficial reason. Was like I could literally feel the pain in my heart when they started.
Yesterday I felt like the world let out a groan at our misguided ways. 
Something else what I don't understand is we bang on about the greenhouse gases warming the planet but at what percentage of oxygen do we need to exist? Has anybody been checking how much oxygen is left in the atmosphere and are we using it up quicker than it is being replaced with so much forest now gone? |
Simmo,
No-one cares, if it's not happening in their backyard. Also if it affects the profits from the big companies and hence your super they care more.
How else can you explain how Tony Abbot is PM? And a person who can only be described as an environmental and social criminal is in charge in Qld?
When the revolution comes ...
Solidarity brothers (and Sisters)!
Cheers
