Bush fires, Australia and climate change : Comments
By Charles Essery, published 2/1/2020Climate 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.

"I'm glad you put your dog to sleep." - I'm not, but I had no choice. It cost a lot a lot of money to do all the tests and keep him in the vets for a week or so trying to ave his life, only to learn he had multiple myeloma with a 100% mortality rate. I took him back out of the vets for maybe a week, he'd gone mostly blind by then his eyes had mostly glassed over, and he was bleeding a little from places one shouldn't. I took him to the beach, his favorite place, and then eventually one day he didn't want or have the energy to fetch his ball anymore (his favorite thing) and I knew he'd had enough and was done. The shot that killed him only cost $15, and he walked into the vets on his own legs to get it. I was in not in any way glad that I had to put him to sleep. I was glad however that his suffering was over. "Would you do the same for a human who asked for it?" I suppose that would depend on the circumstances.

Mr Opinion, I refuted your claim that GW isn't man-made.
Here's yet another article. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/are-humans-major-cause-global-warming "But, what’s causing today’s unprecedented warming—are humans part of the cause? Scientists have devised different methods to answer this question. Meteorologists and oceanographers compare the climate patterns they observe with patterns developed using sophisticated models of Earth's atmosphere and ocean. By matching the observed and modeled patterns, scientists can positively identify the "human fingerprints" associated with the changes, and they can also attribute the proportion of those changes to human activities. The fingerprints that humans have left on Earth's climate are turning up in a diverse range of records and can be seen in the ocean, in the atmosphere, and on the Earth’s surface. Scientists agree that today’s warming is primarily caused by humans putting too much carbon in the atmosphere, like when we choose to extract and burn coal, oil, and gas, or cut down and burn forests. Scientists have gathered evidence and have improved their methods for teasing apart natural and human factors. Today, scientists have very high confidence about human-caused global average surface temperature increase—a key climate indicator. Their growing confidence can be seen through the successive climate assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)" Armchair Critic: You did have a choice. You could've let him suffer and die naturally. Just like Christians do all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6XRsJI6YxI You could've taken loans to pay the bills. You could've worked two extra jobs. You could've sold everything you owned for him. Why didn't you? Isn't life more important to a Christian? What circumstances make a difference when it's a human? It's still suffering. Posted by AyameTan, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 10:48:50 PM

You climate alarmists remind me of another famous person who's predictions have apparently come true from thousands of years ago, to this day.
Funny he didn't predict this event which by his reckoning would have qualified for inclusion in his predictions so long ago. Apparently he predicted 9/11, WOW, unbelievable! That's right, it is all unbelievable. But talk to the right nutters who have studied, followed, researched him, and you will find that according to those people he was an incredible visionary. Seeing as how the climate alarmists are so inelligent and do so much researching, it should not be too hard for them to know of whom I speak. NOSTRADAMUS of course! Now there is a name associated with foretelling of the future and all the catastrophes that we humans were going to suffer. Funny, I don't recall the mention of global warming, rising seas, etc, and so on and so forth. Seriously, all the events that people claim he predicted have been explained as the twisting of words to match the event. We know that even science, cannot predict the future, and why? Because there are too many variables and we cannot know what they are until they happen or appear. Watching Star Trek, preparing for warp speed, is a perfect example and a fantastic fantasy. Because, like GW, CC, you had to know where all the space debris was at the very moment you were at a particular point in time. And as we know, there are pieces of rocks or small meteorites flying across space at thousands of kmh, so fast that if it hit the space craft, it would go straight through, and, the end. So let's just put this down as another attempt at manipulating the public. For why, I don't know, but it will come out one day. Remember the Y2K bug?

AyameTan just said:
'Mr Opinion, I refuted your claim that GW isn't man-made.' Would anyone like to support her claim? Talking about being as nutty as a fruit cake, has anyone seen Barnaby Joyce's video where he starts by saying 'Now you don't have to convince me that the climate's NOT changing .......' and then loses the plot. Watch: http://www.facebook.com/7NEWSMelbourne/videos/barnaby-joyce-makes-a-climate-change-plea-in-a-bizarre-video/2090517477718112/ He's doesn't want government in his life but is happy for government to be paying him hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to be part of government. Barnaby Joyce is representative of the Liberal-National Party voter mentality. Posted by Mr Opinion, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 6:30:33 AM

Altrav, how do you know Nostradamus was referring to 9/11 and not some other disaster?

"Armchair: You 'think' he just needed help to live. Do you know what the vet said? Are you a trained vet?"
My curiosity got the better of me today.
I couldn't let it lie, thought he deserved the dignity of at least knowing why he died.
That he was loved and cared for at least enough to find out.
So I called and spoke to a vets assistant on the phone today.
They said his symptoms seemed consistent with a snake bite.
That they tend to get sick at first but then fight it off and appear to come good, but then the they go rapidly downhill.
Even though he wasn't my dog, I feel like I've let the little bloke down.
It was within my means to put him in the car and race him down the vets, and I didn't.
Well go down tomorrow, say goodbye, choose an urn and go ahead with the cremation.
It was preventable and needless and I feel like crap about it.
