Where's the high tide when you need it?

 

No. 2 is part of Australia's problem.

I can't wait until 2025, when there's no emissions. Cow farts are killing our children!!11 Oh, and going back to pre-industrial civilization seems like fun. Who needs electricity, heat, air conditioning, running water, etc.?

WIth the announcement last week of a new scientific unit of measure (residents of Japan be damned), here are a couple more so you can REALLY understand how bad those cow farts are:

  • Detonating four Hiroshima atomic bombs per second (I thought it was 5????)
  • Experiencing two Hurricane Sandys per second
  • Enduring four 6.0 Richter scale earthquakes per second
  • Being struck by 500,000 lightning bolts per second
  • Exploding more than eight Big Ben towers, with every inch packed full of dynamite, per second

If I'm lucky, that lightning one will get me before Al Gore's wrath does.

MASCOTS OF THE ANOINTED: 

 

Swedish Child-Priestess Greta Thunberg Goes to Davos and Scolds Us All Some More.

This kid is in for a shock when she grows up. Because she’s going to grow up. The adults who stole her childhood will have died off, but the planet will still be here. How will she reconcile the resulting cognitive dissonance? Will she acknowledge the truth, or will she find more excuses to believe the lie? That’ll be up to her, once she’s no longer being exploited for political purposes.

 

 

Yes, Mascots of the Anointed have a rough go of it, once their freshness date expires.

Now that you mention it:

 

Two Australian bushfire experts with 100 years combined experience gave their account on the bushfires on Sky News (Australian version of Fox News) last night. Some of the key points they made include -

 

 

1. The various state governments and their agencies (eg - the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Nature Conservation Council etc.) have been negligent in their duties for not adequately reducing fuel loads during the spring. Some estimates indicate that only 33% of hazard reduction targets were met by these agencies. Most notably, many of the people employed by NPWS are greens/environmentalists and are therefore ideologically opposed to hazard reduction, despite being fully aware of the risks posed.

 

2. Fuel loads in Australian national parks and forests are unique....unlike European and North American forests, the loose matter (ie - bark, twigs, leaves and branches) that falls onto the forest floor does not naturally decompose. Even worse - the matter is incredibly dry and HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. So the load accumulates over many years (because the NWPS believe that this loose matter provides a natural habitat for marsupials and other fauna) - with disastrous consequences.

 

3. They estimated that, on average, for every hectare of forest there was over a tonne of fuel lieing on the forest floor. They also stated that on a sliding scale, these fires were / are a 40, where the maximum possible firefighting effort - including support from the army - is a 3. The phrase "no bloody hope" was used.

 

4. One of the gentleman was a CSIRO scientist. He said that in his estimation, this issue was 97% fuel load / inadequate hazard reduction and only 3% temperature / climate.

 

 

That 29 lives, thousands of homes and businesses, and tens of thousands of square miles of forest have been lost is a tragedy. That the green left have hijacked this tragedy by spreading blatant lies for their bone headed idealogy is an insult to us all.

Eucalyptus trees are highly flammable.That oil permeates the wood and will go up in a second when lit. On the Berkeley campus there is a grove of eucalyptus and to smells just like a bag of Halls cough drops. In the open spaces around the SF bay area, they planted lots of eucalyptus in the late 19th century.  Now they are  clearing them out because they are a fire danger and are not native.

additionally, underwater volcanic activity lends to land mass building. which if significant enough, has the capability to alter deep sea currents which would then also lend to warming.

 

Might even lead to the oceans rising?

Wouldn't that lead to the island tipping over??

We might just have to bring Obama back to stem the rise of the oceans and heal the planet.

UN human rights ruling could boost climate change asylum claims

 

Quote

The UN Human Rights Committee has determined that countries cannot deport people who have sought asylum due to climate-related threats. 

...

this ruling sets forth new standards that could facilitate the success of future climate change-related asylum claims.” 

The Committee further clarified that people seeking asylum are not required to prove that they would face immediate harm, if deported back to their home countries. 

Their rationale was that because climate-related events can occur both suddenly - such as intense storms or flooding - or over time through slow-onset processes such as sea level rise and land degradation, either situation could spur people to seek safety elsewhere. 

Additionally, Committee members underlined that the international community must assist countries adversely affected by climate change. 

 

One of my greatest hopes for Trump Term #2 is that we withdraw from this POS organization.

If the US pulls out of the UN they can declare war on the US.  As long as we hold a veto in the SC, we should always be in that body to keep the bad actors from really pulling mischief.

Would much rather see us start a new organization that only truly democratic nations could join.

Belonging to both would be best.
