Bush fires, Australia and climate change : Comments

By Charles Essery, published 2/1/2020

Climate change has reached cult status and with the lemming-like adoration of characters like Greta et al, backburning is judged only to increase CO2 and therefore to be outcast.

Altrav: did you read the article? Global warming makes bushfires (as well as hurricanes) much worse.

"Storm surge, not wind or rain, is the number one killer in hurricanes, and climate change is making it worse.
Sea level has already risen as a result of climate change, and that rate is accelerating around the world. Current conservative projections for sea level rise by the end of this century (by 2100) are for an additional 12-24 inches, according to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Storm surge is the rise in ocean levels brought about by the wind and low pressure in a hurricane. When the winds blow onshore, it pushes the water higher, forcing it farther inland than normal tidal levels.
Given a relatively flat coastal plain, raising water levels by only inches can make a dramatic difference on how far inland the water can travel."

Armchair: did you bring him to a vet for a peaceful injection, or did you make the poor dog die unnaturally?

Ayame Tan,

"Armchair: did you bring him to a vet for a peaceful injection, or did you make the poor dog die unnaturally"

An injection from the vet is natural?

When my dogs need to be put out of their misery, it's a .22 bullet to the back of the head.

Is Mise: vaccines are also unnatural. We should be more concerned with what is *good*, not what is "natural."

Ebola is natural. Cancer and diabetes are natural.

The "natural law" argument is often used against LGBT rights and the right to die. It's a very weak argument.

Ayeme Tan, have a look on the BOM website. The frequency and intensity
of cyclones has moderated.

Master Tan,
Storm surge is indeed related to when a low pressure system combines with the high tides to inundate land. So why do you link it to climate change trends, which show a decline in cyclones/hurricanes, to more inundation. The problem with climate change cultism, is that is cheery picks an anything, while ignoring 300 years of real ( not modelled) climate study by real scientists ( not modellers)!

Why didn't you post a link, Bazz?

Did you read the site? We didn't have GLOBAL data for most of those 300 years. Your argument is bunk.
