A refreshing voice of reason. Many of our heat records were set decades ago. Take the record 50C+ heat in Oodnadatta and Mardie, in 1960 and 1998 respectively. We haven't cracked 50 since. There have been intense hot spells in the past, and it is normal. It is Australia in the summer.

Scientists around the world are in agreement that this is man made, current data and the fossil record overwhelmingly support the contention that climate change is real, accelerating, and we are responsible. Yet, people who should know better, continue to stick their heads where the sun don't shine. What do you do?
The best you can come up with is tiresome, boring "green bashing" and short sighted whining about job losses... As far as job losses are concerned, you ain't seen NOTHIN YET. Just have a look at the projected impact that a dead Barrier Reef and devastated agricultural production will have on jobs.
Your comments are little more than right winged, ill informed, dogma driven tripe....  |
If it was
your job that was lost, you would change your tune quick smart. You're right, we haven't seen nothing yet. The Vic govt is well established on their campaign to kill off the power industry and put thousands out of work and to make the state unattractive to business like here in SA, just to buy votes from the leftist hipster skinny-jeans wearing latte sipping set in inner Melbourne.

I dont mind the coming green revolution. At least for automobiles. I wouldnt mind not getting covered in fumes everytime I stand at a busy intersection. Might actually be able to have the windows down on hot days in heavy traffic. No traffic noise (especially the quintessential noise maker the obnoxious late night harley rider)
We have a climate with enough sun and wind to power probably the world. At least geraldton does.
So why not use it and create green tech jobs etc and a breathable atmosphere even if it doesn't have an effect on temps?

No I haven't lost my job, just talking some cold hard truths, which the greenleft never like to hear. But if I did lose my job as a result of this insane green global warming mantra, I wouldn't be so goddamned nice with my choice of words. Same cannot be said sadly for the hundreds that have lost their jobs and means of supporting their families as a direct consequence of this cancerous green religion
You think we can power the world with solar panels and propellers? The moronic premier in SA can't even power a state of 1.8 million people without blackouts every time the wind blows. A direct consequence of his green religion agenda. You cannot rely on solar and wind without a reliable baseload like coal and nuclear with current technology. BTW, your electric cars are recharged from coal fired electricity. See the irony? In SA, you can recharge them with 40% "green" energy, but it better not be too windy or not windy enough, because you'll be pushing that Nissan Leaf to work.

I can't say much for the intellectual capacity of your bumbling fascist heroes in the Vic and SA parliament who have all but screwed these states with their totalitarian greenleft/socialist agenda. That big ugly pissed off looking ape in your avatar would do a better job than these cretins.

For those of you with 3 or more kids + cat &/or dog... seriously - try putting the direction of your household's financial resources up for a majority vote and post the video of the ensuing chaos on you-choob. it will be fascinating to watch....... as compelling as a slow motion train wreck, I'd wager.
Oh... jfc... they just did that with Donald Chump. (not to mention the string of muppets preceding him)

Well you are more than welcome to move to North Korea comrade. You know what is a fascinating trainwreck to watch? The hard-left green policies of the rabid SA and Vic premiers killing off jobs, removing reliable electricity supply and then having to pay the world's highest power prices for the privilege. Then there is the follow-on effect of loss of manufacturing as businesses will not invest in expensive, unreliable power with a corresponding loss of jobs and economic impact.

Remember us Sab... I'm sure you will resonate with us in 30, 40 years or so, when you are faced with the next generation of teenage geniuses that know more than all the science community put together. (apparently)

We are already the "beneficiaries" of your "climate change action". We will remember you and your labor/green/left/marxist/socialist heroes alright, remember you for the way your mob screwed the populace with unreliable electricity, high power prices, increasing cost of living to fund your green schemes, loss of manufacturing, jobs and follow-on impact to the economy, and hardships for our local farmers and other businesses. And it's not my generation that are affected the worst, but the poor pensioners who have to now choose whether to eat or heat their homes. Well done, clap clap clap

It is perfectly normal in the eastern states to have a heatwave over Xmas - NY with temps topping 40 in Sydney - and quite frankly that has NOT happened so far this year. And all I see is a lot of softies whining about how long the aircon is needed. As one who grew up without aircon this is ridiculous.
Yes I agree there is climate change - particularly in the monthly averages and night time temps, but it might not be all bad. For example the rain shadow that existed 20 years ago over Sydney to south coast seems to have gone, and while on average hotter, it has been consistently wetter.
Since when did Alice Springs get 200mm in midsummer, let alone in 1 day ?
