Loudmouth,

You are a persistent little devil. Now you want poor Soot to take action against lightning strikes, undersea fissures, etc.

He can't do it! These things are outside of his control. Just let him stick to getting the big emitters to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

You need to understand that there are some things that even a great climate change warrior like Soot cannot do.

I'll give you a few Paul.

The ratbag town planners at a number of South East Queensland councils, who tried to promote a very stupid green scheme.

They wanted land holders to declare part of their properties green open space. This would be in perpetuity. The declared area could not be fenced, or cleared grazed or used in any way, but must be left to natures not so gentle effect.

They programed a number of public meetings to push this scheme in various parts of the district. They wanted people to not only dramatically reduce the value of their property, but then live not only with a vermin & weed haven, but with a growing fire hazard in their own back yard.

At my council area, they were so ridiculed at the first couple of public meetings that they canceled the rest.

I reckon anyone silly enough to have fallen for this greenie rubbish, should now be able to sue those council planers for promoting such a now proven dangerous plan, & conning them into it.

Hassy, I don't have any MATES who work in town planning in SE Queensland Councils, you might, I don't, so I don't know what you are going on about. Joe said it was MY MATES who were responsible for the recent bushfires. I simply want him to provide evidence, or I'll call him a liar.

Hasbeen,

Please stick to debating the science and leave the politics to us.

It's now all in the hands of Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison who is the New Winston Churchill in the war against the large-scale greenhouse gas emitters.

Have faith in Soot and give him a chance. If he cannot do it then we just get rid of him come the next election.

Hey Soot 'Beam up me Scotty', guess what!

Your political career now depends on you getting the big emitters of greenhouse gases to reduce their emissions to a level that will prevent Australia being the number one victim of global warming.

We all know you cannot stop sun spots or volcanoes erupting or alter the Milankovitch cycles but you can take action on the burning of fossil fuels.

Everyone is watching Soot so don't go disappointing them. It's your career that's on the line!

Misopinionated,

Interesting tactic, if a litte addled: accuse someone of supporting something which they have specifically NOT supported. I've obviously never suggested that Morrison or anybody can make it rain or stop volcanic eruptions, but which you also childishly assume can be done - and then slag Morrison for not doing it.

I think you need to question your religious approach: there are no gods, only us. There is no Satan, only us. There never have been any gods or Satans. Only us, to bugger up the planet with our wrong-direction witch-hunting and determinedly going down the wrong rabbit holes.

Reduce the fuel load - not necessarily by burning but by removal or grazing etc. and don't worry about gods or devils. Yes there is a greenhouse effect from too much CO2 in the atmosphere, but that is not really immediately relevant in this case.

Joe
