And funniest thing of all. My sides are still splitting.

Dear mhaze,

Using the royal 'we' yet again?

Hasbeen is adamant that the world is cooling and the rest of your crew would never concede that humans were having an impact so it seems you are speaking for yourself.

Dear Hasbeen,

You wrote: “In South East Queensland we are having the coldest summer in my 30 years here. Days are about average, but I have never before seen everyone bearing jumpers on summer nights.”

Mate it must be your thinning blood because there isn't a single statistic which bears out what you are claiming.

The stats for Hervey Bay show the mean low temperature for January was 21.0 degrees. In 2016 it was 20.4. In 2003 it was 20.0 and in 2000 it was 20.7.

In December last year it was 21.8 which was higher than the year previously at 21.4, and the year before at 21.5, and the year before that at 21.0 and it goes on. In fact the last time it was higher was in 2009.

Perhaps you might like to give me another town nearby to check although a medical check might be advisable.

Hooray, time for the nuclear ban to be lifted.

Biden's election is forcing the Coalition's hand on nuclear. Fine by me http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/feb/18/nationals-nuclear-push-shows-coalition-energy-policy-chaos-labor-says

In answer to- imajulianutter- Cuomo sounds like an a-typical Democrat Liberal- He's for fraking- still calls the right extreme- he's what you call a moderate- I have learned that being so called moderate has it's own problems- especially when the far left is controlling the acceptable dialog by "hysterical militancy" as per the "Overton Window".

It's interesting in the fraking issue that the Communist Left have adopted so called Green policies against Keynesian- jobs priority. But the communists are generally scornful of Keynesianism.

In my view what the Social Communists label "extreme right" is not even right in a sense it's a completely different dimension- it doesn't bear much relation to right policies in a sense. If one reads Patrick Deneen one understands better. Many on the so called far right are anti-Locke Liberal/ Traditional/ Localist/ anti-Universalists- they have a more subtle view of the concept of freedom than that is embodied in Locke and Mill theories. They prefer a so called positive rather than a negative view of freedom.

Both the political left and right are Locke-Liberal/ Universalist/ Globalist/ Progressives.

The so called far right and also perhaps the alternative-left (Rabbit) are none of these.

Perhaps socialist William Morris 1800s could have been considered as a member of the Alt-Left perhaps- being also Localist, anti-Universalist, anti-Globalist. He similar to Dickens was concerned with extreme industrial era capitalism but still very British. Sadly he still seemed to mix with Marxists and this may have distorted his view.

The British Monarchy is localist (Communists would call it Nationalist/ Fascist/ Racist) and has a vested interest in the people of Britain.

In "The Prince" Machiavelli talks about the difference between British and Turkish governmental structures.

Hopefully my ramble makes sense.

Relax Canem, it made no sense at all !
