Paul1405,

The bushfire catastrophe of 2019/20 have not only made most people in Australia face the reality of climate change but has done the same for billions of people around the world who saw the shocking images of death and destruction being played out each night on their TVs.

I say leave the AGW denialists to debate the science, where they'll die are slow but inevitable death fighting for a lost cause.

Australians are now asking their leaders to get off their asses and fix the climate change problem in order to prevent future bushfire catastrophes. But they can't get rid of sunspots or alter the Milankovitch cycles or stop volcanoes from erupting or other such things outside of their control. But there is one thing our leaders can control and act upon: reducing the burning of fossil fuels. And this is what people will be demanding.

Reducing the burning of fossil fuels is the only option our leaders have available to them to demonstrate to people that they are taking action to fix the problem.

So Paul, I say leave the denialists to themselves to debate the science while we follow the political path and advocate positive action by telling our politicians to tell the big emitters to stop making Australia a victim of AGW.

Well well! We now have exposed the real Mr O. The recent fires around Australia are used by the Muslim Socialists to assist in their World domination agenda, to destroy our economy and introduce a socialist Muslim State. They use fire to take lives and destroy livelihoods. Their agenda, as Mr O says, is political, not scientific. That is why he could not contributed climate science to reasoned scientific debate.

He says: "Australians are now asking their leaders to get off their asses and fix the climate change problem in order to prevent future bushfire catastrophes". [As though Canberra could stop Lighting starting bush fires which it has done for thousands of years] "But they can't get rid of sunspots or alter the Milankovitch cycles or stop volcanoes from erupting or other such things outside of their control".

But there is one thing our leaders can control and act upon: reducing the burning of fossil fuels. And this is what people will be demanding" [because we scared them to believe]. "Reducing the burning of fossil fuels is the only option our leaders have available to them to demonstrate to people that they are taking action to fix the problem" [of drought and raging bush fires].

So Paul, I say leave the denialists to themselves to debate the science while we follow the political path and advocate positive action by telling our politicians to tell the big emitters to stop making Australia a victim of AGW". [Then we will have reduced the quality of life of India and China and brought the Democratic West to its knees. Hooray for an Islamic State!]

So all along Mr O did not really believe that GW was caused by humans; but to use such propaganda especially with the lit fires assists his agenda to introduce a Socialist Muslim State.

Mr O,

Lets do a Father Joe, global warming is a christian conspiracy to create Hell on Earth. According to the fundos only they have the power to control the weather, as their man Moses did, just read their fairy-tail bible, its all in there.

"Do you know anything about this global warming theory you support so extravagantly Paul?"

Yes I do Hassy, having read and watched extensive material on the subject. I am of the opinion climate change is real, and human activity has contributed to that change which is having a detrimental impact on the worlds weather. I am not privileged as you are to have some elderly 85 year old neighbour whose record keeping proves conclusively that global warming is a lie.

The current furor about an alleged connection between climate change, CO2 emissions, and Australian fires finds no support in the scientific literature. According to scientists, rising CO2 concentrations reduce fire ignition and burned area. Further, both global-scale and Australian fires were far more pervasive during the colder Little Ice Age.

Here’s what the scientific literature has to say about fires and their connection to climate and CO2 concentrations. “Elevated CO2 and warmer climate promote global total tree cover” and higher CO2 “leads to reduced fire ignition and burned area” (Chen et al., 2019).

Well what do you know. It was the litter problem after all.

Hassy, where is your reference for this claim? Its not your 85 year old neighbours down the street again, coming out with another pearler is it?

Hasbeen,

Good. Keep arguing about the science. It'll keep you busy and out of the real action which is going to be all about getting Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison and his team of born-again climate change warriors to step up to the plate and start protesting to the big greenhouse gas emitters to stop making Australia a global waming victim.

We'll let people like you argue about volcanoes, sun spots and Milankovitch cycles. Have fun! We have bigger fish to fry.
