The temperature seems to have been rising for 300 years since the
Maunder minimum and will be back to a cold period in 300 years approx.
The whole global warming phenomena might be simpler than many think.

Hey AyameTan,
Welcome to the forum.

"Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. -- Proverbs 23:13-14"

How would you like someone to beat you with that stick?
- Don't worry you won't die...

* For Gods sake, don't let that stupid book send your brain around the twist.
God cares about your soul.

Stick with the this part:

'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'

The rest of that book tends to often send people a little loopy;
And you're doing a good job of making Christians look like extremists.

Me personally, I don't care about your soul.
And I just don't think there's really any need for any more unstable religious thinking people than we already have.

Freedom of religion DOES NOT give you a right to advocate breaking Australian laws.

And if you pick on kids, it's you that's weak.

You don't use smacking as a default go-to punishment.
Only when you have to, like when they run off across the road in front of cars and put themselves in danger..
In cases like this, if you don't smack them then, it's you that's being negligent and failing to ensure their physical and emotional wellbeing.

Before you read any more of that book, you should take time to check yourself, before you completely wreck yourself.

- No hard feelings, nothing personal, Happy 2020 etc.

Great article by the way 10/10

Just posted this elsewhere. It is from the Royal Commission into the 1939 fires in Victoria and is second on the list of causes;

"The Condition of the Forests.—When the early settlers came to what is now this State, they found for the greater part a clean forest. Apparently, for many years before their arrival, the forest had not been scourged by fire. They were in their natural state. Their canopies had prevented the growth of scrub and bracken to any wide extent. They were open and traversible by men, beasts and wagons. Compared with their present condition, they were safe. B ut the white men introduced fire to the forests. They burned the floor to promote the growth of grass and to clear it of scrub which had grown where, for whatever reason, the balance of nature had broken down. The fire stimulated grass growth ; but it encouraged scrub growth far more. Thus was begun the cycle of destruction which can not be arrested in our day. The scrub grew and flourished, fire was used to clear it, the scrub grew faster and thicker, bush fires, caused by the careless or designing hand of man, ravaged the forests; the canopy was impaired, more scrub grew and prospered, and again the cleansing agent, fire, was used. And so to-day in places where our forefathers rode, driving their herds and flocks before them, the wombat and the wallaby are hard put to it to find passage through the bush.

ttbn, LNP voters think you can raise a child with a small baby bonus/tax break.

Bezz, did you even click on the link?

That's interesting Steelie, presuming the science is right. How did the aborigines not cause the same issue through their bush-firing?
