Just for Belly. An email from a friend, a Labor supporter with a sense of humour.


• The Pope and Bill Shorten are on the same stage in Sydney Stadium in front of a huge crowd.

The Pope leans towards Shorten and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"

Shorten replied, "I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand?....Show me!"


• So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!

AND THE CROWD ROARED & CHEERED WILDLY and there was happiness throughout the land!

If anyone is still unconvinced that there is not much difference between Liberal and Labor (let's stop pretending that the Nationals in the Coalition are of any consequence) they need look no further than Morrison's (blame him personally; he is the one doing the Presidential impersonation) socialism in the housing business to 'help people get a roof over their heads’.

When Labor does socialism it's honest and expected: it's what they stand for; when a supposed right of centre party does it, it is dishonest, desperate vote buying. So socialistic that Labor has eagerly said that they will match Morrison’s nanny act. As one commentator noted, it is “quasi public housing”.

Who gives a stuff which bozo is PM after Saturday! They are both self-serving opportunists and pork barrelers.

Given that the difference in the climate tomfoolery between the two parties is only a matter of degree since the Liberals dropped all pretence of being principled in the vote-buying frenzy, here's a reminder list of all the terrible things that should have happened some time ago, according to the climate crooks,

The population bomb
Mass starvation
Resource exhaustion
Nuclear winter
Acid rain
Global cooling
The end of ice and snow
Disappearing islands and coastlines
Climate refugees – one failed case in NZ.

Add in the actually thriving polar bears and constant crap.

While anything Australia does in the way of unreliable energy and the Paris fraud won't make a jot of difference, we have a chance at this election to punish both parties for spending, and intending to spend, truckloads of our money on this rubbish.

Ttbn,

Is it my imagination or has there been a shift in the jargon over the years, from 'greenhouse effect' to 'global warming' to 'climate change' and now to 'pollution' ? Which is, of course, a serious issue - in my view, more serious than the 'climate change' of one-inch sea-level rise every ten years (while tides go up and down a metre or so twice a day), and (at least in Adelaide) a maximum of half-a-degree temperature rise in eighty years ?

What impact might a one-degree rise in temperature every 160 years have on the growing season in the Baltic, or across Canada or Asia-Europe ?

And if, these days, water is brought up by pumps in the Torres Strait islands, rather than by bucket, what impact might that have on land subsidence there ?

Just asking. I might get an answer one day.

Cheers

Joe

The Torres Strait islands thing Joe is simply population, using too much water. The fresh water is a shallow lens floating on sea water below. Use too much, & you get salt.

We did it in Bundaberg. They pumped the city supply fresh water bores near the coast too low, & got sea water intrusion. That was decades ago, & those bores are still salt.
