Feels like the time is right for some political capital to be spent without repercussions.
There are still some fuckwits in that arena making it hard tho:
Go Cuz! You're doing our family name proud....
Was waiting for this
Is he still in parliament? (albeit at the back of it)
Yep, he’s got two separate branches of your extended whanau to support

Associate Professor Pete Strutton, from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, said it was difficult to analyse Mr Joyce's claim because it was so bizarre.
"I don’t even know what he means. We know what causes climate change," he said.
So what does cause climate change? And I'm not referring to recent years.
I'm talking about the past where we have had ice-ages. And then warmer periods. The back to ice-ages And ice-ages (or cold spells) when the CO2 level have been much higher than today. So it can't really be blamed back then on CO2.
If only the internet provided answers to such questions: https://www.science.org.au/learning/general-audience/science-climate-change/2-how-has-climate-changed

I'm very skeptical of all the scary 'science' around climate change. Others turn their thinking process off and just trust the 'scientists'. Ok fair enough but my prediction is the science behind CC will be history within 10 years. People are waking up. Slowly but its happening.
But who knows. I amazed this 'world is ending' due to a tiny little increase in CO2 has lasted for as long as it has.

Does anyone have first hand nuanced understanding of the anti-greenies 'They stopped us clearing fuel!' argument?
I do not - but the concept is explained well by the former NSW Fire Commissioner Greg Mullins I posted earlier.
The summary from my point of view: a land in drought and a warming, drying climate creates difficulties in how you burn off, and when you burn off. There are millions of uninhabited hectares that are getting burned out with a fuel load that was NEVER going to be reduced anyway, because you can't burn off the whole country.
Funding cuts haven't helped.

Am wondering if we can split the Bush fire posts from the climate debate ...
... I'd do it myself if I knew how.
Bush Fires thread is here now: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/3602/aussie-bush-fires/
Only split the last two days.. couldn't be bothered going further back
Will leave in the Politics area because of questions about regulations, firebreaks etc

Coldplay won't be touring because it's bad for the environment.
Excellent news.
Hopefully this catches on with some other artists. Someone should definitely forward that to Sam Smith...for the good of the world.

Didn't they jump on a plane to do that interview where they announced that?
If so that is just too good.

Greta wrote an op-ed this past weekend. At least she’s not even pretending her activism is just about the environment any more. She’s got biggger fish to fry.
Why We Strike Again
[...]
That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.
[...]
The claptrap about colonialism, racism, patriarchy and oppression are straight out of globalist Marxist training manuals.

@Salacious-Crumb Colour me shocked!
It really does suck that most environmental activists plans seem to involve some form of genocide.
