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.

Why should I do your research for you? Why didn't you post a link?

And no, global warming IS reversible. Learn to read.

If we move to Mars, I suppose you'll just abandon everyone who lives on $1 a day. Typical conservative. I'm glad I gave 2 billion dollars to a particular organization 15 years ago.

I won't name them, but I'll just say that they hate capitalists like you.

Ayame, your emotions are misguided.
You can't help people if you are not rich.
You can't help people who reject and denigrate you before you even start trying to help them
You can't help principled people.
You can't help people too stupid and economically twisted that reject help from "certain" sources, because of some stupid, twisted principals and values.
What kind of principals and values do you have, living on the street?
No I'm sorry Ayame, you need to reconsider your stance, and learn that as much as you might hate the wealthy, we cannot exist without them.
If you want proof of that, just think back to communism, the great equaliser, there was no equality and no quality of life or anything else under a bunch of morons who ALL wanted to be in charge, even though they had no idea of what they were doing.
And so communism collapsed.
No as much as you and your lot hate entrepreneurs (the wealthy), without them you would all be living in the streets or in bush humpy's because NO-ONE could afford a house because there were no wealthy people to afford to start-up, set-up a company or business, and therefore no where to work or work for.
So Ayame, we need the wealthy, we need to keep them wealthy, because money is their drug of choice.
Take away the money and we are ALL doomed, not just them.

Dear AyameTan,

You will find ALTRAV a racist, misogynistic, blowhard with very little substance.

Verbosity is his go to defense. I use to find him a bit of fun when I had little to do. Can't be bothered now.

Altrav, I never said any of that. Try to PAY ATTENTION this time.

1. It's easier to help people if you're rich. Money buys food.

2. Why should I respect someone like you? Al Qaeda has more compassion than you. Sweatshop workers contribute more to society than you. Clothes keep people warm.

3. What principles are you referring to? The principle that women should be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen making sandwiches?

4. Capitalism is the worst economic system. Do you know what a sweatshop is?

5. The wealthy wouldn't BE wealthy without their workers. They also wouldn't be ALIVE if their workers joined XXXX

6. Communism collapsed because of famine and Stalin's gulags. Fail.

Ayame, "I'll just say that I hate capitalists like you".
You answered my points for me, in case you hadn't noticed.
Read me again and you will find your points in each of my responses.

SR, Mr know-it-all.
Your not as smart as you think you are, and you opened your mouth and had it confirmed.
You see, I am all the things you say I am, and more.
But unlike you and most other smart arses, I can account for my convictions.
Morons like you and your running mates, espouse virtue, but only in an attempt at "looking good", to your peers.
Otherwise you have not a clue, of what you speak, only that you read it or saw it somewhere.
At least I don't try to act or look as if I know everything.
But the little I do know, I KNOW!
So you keep thinking you are a cut above the rest, because we know otherwise, having been exposed by your own hand.

AyameTan, This "capitalist" system that you are so against is the one that has given you the technology and the freedom to express yourself so freely in this forum.
The Russian communism failed for many more reasons than Stalin's Gulags and famines. The too frequent pogroms took away more Soviet citizens than were banished to the Gulags. (Though the true numbers will never be known outside the Kremlin.)
The workers in a capitalist system have jobs because of the wealthy and many not so wealthy who have seen fit to establish an industry or business that can afford to employ the workers. These workers can chose who their employer is and/or the location of where they work.
The rampant bushfires in Australia at present are not happening "because" of any climate change. Their intensity may be greater because of a multitude of factors that have been allowed to aggregate over the past four or so decades. They cannot be undone by a simple reduction in GHG emissions or Acts of Parliament.
