The last time I saw an Attenborough 'lecture' on the end of the world, he was propping himself up against a tame rhino, lamenting his sure knowledge that the species would soon be 'gone'.

It might seem trite and heartless to say 'who cares'; but who cares.

Most people never see animals in the wild, whether they are rhinos, elephants or koalas. They see them in the safety of zoos: zoos like Monarto and Western Plains where natural conditions are replicated, and where animals are bred.

Very few people these days want to plough around in the bush, where the first thing they are likely to be confronted by is and Eastern brown or Tiger snake. The Australian bush is just not a safe and friendly place to be; and not just because of regular, normal bushfires and floods, lack of water and facilities that bring about the deaths, in remote areas, of foreign tourists and stupid locals.

Animals have been dying out, becoming extinct, since the dinosaurs went. Millions of dollars have been spent to ensure that as many birds and animals as possible are available for viewing safely in captivity, and more of them are being released into the wild.

Sure, it's awful to see burnt native animals. But they were getting burnt by the same bushfires as they are now for a very long time before we arrived here. Get over it. And, get over David Attenborough, even if he can't get over himself.

ttbn,

Don't worry. Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison is back on the job. All will be well. He cannot get rid of sun spots, stop volcanoes erupting or alter Milankovitch cycles but he can get the big emitters of greenhouse gases to reduce their emissions to levels that will stop making Australia the number one victim of global warming.

Praise be Soot! The hopes of millions are riding with your every action. In fact, your political career now depends on you getting the big emitters to reduce their emissions. We know you can do it Soot. We don't call you a climate change warrior for nothing.

We you don't want to do it then you might as well pack your family back off to Hawaii.

Mr O, Mr O, Mr O, ye of little faith! The anointed one can do anything, volcanoes, sun spots, grow hair on a billiard ball, your wish is his command. Did you not hear the howls of protest from Beijing this morning, because St Scott the patron saint of CC, cancelled his regular Saturday night order from the 'Golden Dragon' restaurant and take-away to demonstrate how serious he is about CC and the Chinese, Big Clive applauded his decisive action, why not you. Today the Chinese economy is in ruins!

Is that all you two can do, to trivialise and divert from these extremely serious issues ? How dare you !

Any chance of grappling with the real issues ? Too much for you ?

Replying to my mention that by the theory global warming is supposed to reduce extremes of weather, & extremes are reducing he comes back with,

"NASA reveals 2019 is the second warmest year after 2016 since records begun in 1880"

What the hell does the temperature have to do with extreme weather events, nothing except the global warming theory tells us that the hotter it is, the less extreme weather.

Typical warmist. The couple of other fools will never answer a point or question as they dam well know that in any scientific discussion they have not a single fact to hang an argument on, hence fools like Mr O talking such rubbish.

Isn't it just a little to idiotic to think Climate Change is something new ? What industries did the Dinosaurs have that caused them to become extinct ?
Australia's supposed to have been green & lush so what industries did the Aborigines have ?
What is new is the phenomenon of indoctrinated pseudo intellectuals who, after making very extensive use of the facilities & commodities manufactured by industrialists to satisfy consumers, many, many of them pseudo intellectuals, are denouncing the efforts of those who keep them alive.
You know the end is nigh when 66 year olds carry on like pre-school kids.
