not many people realise climate change is an investment and if u want to up ur stocks u have to bring it to the attention of people and government every now and then to get more donations to keep the price up, we had worse fires in 1851 that took double the land these recent fires have taken so not sure how that works with climate change, then add in all the fu#$wits that light the fires... and we had some hot days because the fires blanket the state in smoke which holds in the heat and the warmer winds from the centre just add to it, today's young people only hear about all this hottest day bla bla bla but dont realise if u actually look back in history its always like this and if it takes 100 years to beat the hottest day by .3 deg then its just not an issue but they dont read that they only get the HOT HOT HOT BS... seems anything over 35 deg now days is climate change (ssshhh dont tell anyone we are in AUSTRALIA...)
I'm of a similar opinion. I think Australia is the wrong place to determine climate change. Our climate historically has huge extremes of heat, drought, flood. Those of us old enough to have lived a few decades recall extremely hot weather and prolonged droughts before. I think the current mania sweeping this country is driven by a prolonged and really severe drought, (and there has been worse in our recorded history)allied with some extremely hot days. Bushfire, caused by drought, poor land management practices, heat and ratbag, only feed into this mentality.
How has climate changed in cooler climates? If there is global warming, wouldn't they be better areas to measure it? Europe had a strange heat wave this year, perhaps their experience is more relevant. California has had catastrophic fires, perhaps they can speak. Norther YS and Canada had record snowfalls this year. Global warming?
My generation gets accused of denial and blamed for the situation that now exists. Fine. I accept change "could" be occurring, but talk if "climate emergency", to me, is utter bullshit.
