Just wait for a bushfire to come through and wipe out everything you have and then the penny will drop for you unrealistic people.
Not been more worried about my holiday ever.
Massive growth followed by massive dryâŚ
Yikes.
âWhat we found is that between 1977 and 2003, excellent scientists within Exxon modeled and predicted global warming with, frankly, shocking skill and accuracy only for the company to then spend the next couple of decades denying that very climate science.â
We give names to hurricanes, storms and cyclones. Time we started naming these events after oil execs.
Considerably longer than I thought. Well done chaps. Thereâs a funnel with an infinite pour of crude waiting for your fat gullets in hell.
âThe Rex Tillerson heatwave of 2023â has a nice ring to it
âOoh boy, this stinkinâ Winterâs got all the makinâs of a real TillersonâŚâ
Exxon in Houston has one of the biggest and best research centres I have seen. They gather high quality people from all over the World, and the work they do is incredible. Also a real balanced group who try to ensure environment comes first. Really tough in a mob like Exxon.
Being a climate scientist working for Exxon is like being Hitlerâs personal rabbi.
Bonus round:
Woke!
Cairns airport wonât be operational for the next wee while. Not ideal as the Xmas rush starts this week. Now please,tell me again, how inconvenient those climate protesters are.
Iâm sure @Bomber1408 has a wacko explanation for Exxon and Shell coming up with the same answers as the broader scientific community
Thatâs disastrous. And when the water goes down, which is unlikely for some time, do you really want to set foot in one of those smaller prop and jet aircraft? Somebody can tell me how resilient they may be but fark that. (Tells people how naive about aircraft engineering he is)
Those aircraft that are submerged are in the âboneyardâ
That part of the airport is the low lying area where planes that are U/S or out of action are parked until they are scrapped. One of them has been there about 3 years from my memory.
The runway is currently unsafe for landing though and looking at about 2-3 day closure at this stage. Not great for Cairns but Virgin and Qantas will be having a sigh of relief as they can push the staff and aircraft on to other routes that are struggling with cancellations and demand
Stop trying to get me to fly in those planes. It did occur to me, much too late, that even in Qld surely they wouldnât have built any section of an active airport that subject to flood. Sometimes you have to stand behind your dumb posts, and I have!
Now officially the worst flood on record in that place. Of course Iâm sure there have been worse floods pre human existence, possibly even dinosaur vs robot wars at some point, so that piece of info to be disregarded entirely.
The whole problem, of course, is that AGW means that places that have never been subject to flood before, increasingly will be.
