Not to mention that Thunder can, and often does happen without rain.

What it can’t happen without, is Lightning.

Which will come first? An environmental disaster that will end up decimating human life, or Essendon winning a final?
I know what my money’s on.

Cliffs: Day After Tomorrow type event (albeit less extreme) could be on the way sooner than anticipated.

We can’t convince enough people to get vaccinated during the worst pandemic of our time. We are so so ■■■■■■ in relation to climate change.

Basically.
It’s a matter of if and not when based on some reading I’ve done since. That article just suggests it’s approaching far more rapidly than previously anticipated.

Plain(ish) language summary of possible outcomes

“Some people want to talk Australia down…”. Morrison responds to Bandt. Been hearing that kind of ■■■■ all my life from so called true blue optimistic types. Their way of saying ‘you’re not in the mainstream, not one of us, your views aren’t welcome’. I wish ill upon this man and and his like.

These idiots do nothing to help the cause. Climate protesters protest climate change by burning ■■■■ and spraying aerosols, unnecessarily contributing to climate change. Probably dove there in their clapped out 1972 Sigma too.

A pox on the Nationals, Barnaby Joyce and Scomo for the political setup that ignores the science and just wants to keep digging up coal. I am making my opinion known to them in no uncertain way.

I mean its worse than the stuff up with vaccine rollout, that’s a fast moving and changing situation. But the Liberal National policy on coal is a considered, deliberate and uncompromising policy that ignores the climate crisis.

Scomo has gone to Biden begging for more Pfizer, and so far has been knocked back. When Biden wanted Scomo to meet emissions targets acknowledged by the US administration, the UK, and the EU as being an absolute minimum, Scomo says no. Join the dots.

Maybe some. Extinction Rebellion as an organisation are doing a lot more than most with what resources they have. Can guarantee the people who did this have smaller footprints than most people, and this is still one of the only ways to get coverage so good on em. They’re also spot on with moving against industrial farming and meat consumption - solve a terrible lot of problems if we listened on that front.

We are talking about literally a handful of people trying to save their political skins and in the pockets of a handful of billionaires. It’s not about jobs or the national economy otherwise the Rudd/Gillard ‘tax’ would’ve been scooping billions into the coffers for the last decade

“And before the ‘aren’t spray cans bad for the environment’ message takes hold – Australia ceased its use of CFC propellants in cans before 1989.”

Three minutes in Scomo on the latest report, blaming China and saying we shouldn’t have to do more because they’re much naughtier than us.

Its all going to be china this election.
