If it is OK to condemn people for their beliefs, I condemn this author and anyone else who believes that there is a climate catastrophe and that it is our fault. Fundamentalist religion and hokey pokey is rampant among the Marxists.

I hope they can work out who is causing all this climate mayhem. For example Paris 42.6C, global sea level rise 3.6 mm a year. The only thing for sure is that it can't be our fault.

In the 1930s there was a sect which met on the south head of Sydney Harbour to await the end of the world predicted to end at midnight on the night they assembled, They all had to go home next morning.
I suggest this author go to Tomaree Headland at Port Stephens to wait for his predicted disaster. When he climbs down when his disaster does not happen he will be right in his element-- a home for the mentally challenged at the base of the headland.

There are some troglodytes for who, climate change will never ever be real, save when the rising oceans reclaim their waterfront mansions.

Then predictably they will say to a generic troglodyte, why were we told and why didn't someone do something!?

Rainforests apart from being carbon sinks also used to function along with natural wetlands, as natural firebreaks!

And as the ravages of exponentially increasing climate change caused desertification, these areas dry out and become tinder for the next firestorm!

Those folk who don't believe climate change is real and that we are causing it number only about 4-5% of us. But are vociferous in their endlessly repeated public denials, like the demented old fools with money and unearned privileges, most of them probably are!?

Confined livestock can in some cases have the methane burps curtailed by the addition of a particular species of seaweed to their food stock.

Apart from that, if their manure is collected and fed through double tank biodigesters, The methane produced, can be collected and stored in bladders, then scrubbed to remove a minor CO2 component, the methane fed into ceramic fuel cells to produce virtually free power and endlessly free hot water, the other byproducts are carbon-rich soil improver and nutrient-loaded reusable water.

As the carbon-rich moisture retaining product is added to our soils, the carbon content is geosequestered for centuries! Add in dung beetles to help bury it deep and the soil is even more improved! Add the reusable water via underground tapes and almost any crop can be grown almost anywhere including arid desert regions

There are a great many things we can do! And none of them needs to harm the environment or tank our economies, just the very opposite!

All that prevents is self-consumed, demented old fools with power and money!

Of course climate change is a real fraud, Alan B, promoted by frauds like Michael Mann, and supported by fools like you, who are so ignorant that they do not acknowledge that there is no science to show any human effect on climate
If your support is not based on ignorance, then it is based on dishonesty. There is no science to support it.

I wonder if this bloke could make change for a $5 bus ticket, from a $10 note, with out asking someone in the math department to work it out for him.

He certainly can't make any sense of this scam.
