A lot of communities in Australia, especially in the rural areas of northern NSW, southern Queensland and the wheat belt of WA, are currently in the process of learning how to live with climate change, all to their detriment as we can all see from the telecasts of the severe droughts and floods of recent times.

The ongoing droughts in NSW and Qld are of particular interest to me in that I'm being to think that these are in effect a tipping point in climate change for these regions. For those of you who don't know what that means, I saying that it has passed a point of no return and the climate will not switch back to its norm. So instead of the climate being one of an ongoing series of drought-rain-drought-rain cycle it is now just one of continuous drought. Time will tell, but I'm confident about putting my neck on the line and stating that we have a climate change tipping point.

This is important for those who think that spending billions of dollars on dams in these regions is going to be a magical panacea because failure to recognise the tipping point, if that's what it turns out to be, is basically useless because they will be building dams in places where it will never rain again. I don't think the politicians who are revving up into dam mode have factored the tipping point option into their equations, all to the likely detriment of the rural communities suffering from climate change, which neither the politicians nor the rural communities themselves want to accept as being real. Very sad, very sad indeed.

Mr O,

The fact that no causal relationship between droughts floods and climate change doesn't seem to bother you?

Dear Shadow Minister,

There is a causal relationship between these.

Joe I don't believe in the big bang theory, it doesn't work without accepting a whole lot of doubtful theories.

How about this. Black holes are not the final destination of all matter, but a conduit to a parallel universe, through which matter from this one is renewed & transferred to the parallel one.

Oh & for Mr O, the rainfall in Oz has been trending up since federation. Pity the stuff put out by arts departments don't have to start with a few facts. But don't you worry, I'm sure a chat with the people at the Bureau would get them to "correct" the old records to comply with your theory, just as they do with temperature.

yep Sarah Hanson Young has only made 58 flights recently. Must of cut back for 'climate emergency'. Really hard to match Greens hypocrisy.

good to see the sensible citizens of England doing what the police are paid to do in removing these clowns from trains etc. I think the British policeforce are to busy brainwashing people with the LGBT agenda and looking to arrest people who might call a male Mr or a female Mrs. Their must also be the 'quite poms'.
