Ike★ 2,922 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I remember the smoke pollution we had up here in the PNW a few years back. I can’t imagine what it’s like there. I’m so sorry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of people putting a lot of blame in the governments anti climate change views for numerous years (although honestly, aus is so insignificant when it comes to global emissions that we could reduce ours to zero and it would have zero effect) but a lot of the hate directed atm to our Prime MInister is because he really has been a shitty 'leader' during this entire crisis. Did next to nothing early on, went on holiday, came back after public pressure cause they escalated massively, then went out to do some tv spots and legit forcibly shook ppl's hands that didn't want and only just the other week has now introduced certain legislation and help that was needed weeks ago, even though it was available. So yeah a lot of the hate is warranted although realistically there isn't too much that can be done. We have had a drought for numerous years now and our bushlands were dry af and just waiting to explode, couple that with the weather and heat and it's a recipe for disaster. Not to mention many of these fires lit by arsonists also. Damn man, that's rough. I had heard about what you said about him doing TV spots and shaking people's hands who very clearly didn't want to.. as well as declining help that was offered before. In those kinds of conditions you speak, literally anything can start a fire. I had just heard about that today that there were over 180 people being charged with regards to the fires. Man.. it's just insane. I hope you guys and your friends/fams stay safe and things get under control soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's going to be far below normal temps here in the next few days. The planet on average is warming, moreso at the poles. Don't worry guys, soon as those icecaps have sent enough frigid water into the major currents it will trigger the next iceage. It will be fun. Then we can say it's man made cooling. You can't be this dumb Climate change.... say it slowly.... Climate change. Edited January 8, 2020 by Goukosan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I said was pretty fucking specific. An anecdotal like yours cannot be used as an example of climate change. Because it could also be used by the denier saying "see how cold it is here? Record low temp!" By the way, this is China's fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Move onto another subject after you don't want to go into detail about the very thing you tried to downplay? Now you're next excuse is "well............I'll wait for other countries to get off their ass first, before I get off my ass." Which is, of course, another right-wing talking point.

What do we have to do now that its ESTABLISHED and AGREED UPON that this is happening because of man-made climate change? Sure. But we're not here to DEBATE climate change.........because there is no debate. That book has already been written to completion. That shouldn't be the "elephant in the room" because its a settled concept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kokujin 558 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 500 million animals. kangarees burning to a crisp. We humans are going to feel existential sad forever. I think we're just paying the price. I bite and clench my hists and I see we are now still at year 1200, just barely paying for death collusiums for the shits and giigles and wealth gap doomery and medeivl slavery. We got hundreds of years to go before a human wakes up happy. Also add 50 years of sadness for what girls/women do to the dating game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
