Zali Steggle's Climate Change Commission is a worry.
Can you imagine the ingrained fixed belief in a team of
a couple of hundred public servants.
The whole country could be knee deep in snow and nothing would change.
Note the rigidity of some of the covirus regulations, that is what
some are already suggesting for global warming.

That global warming has occurred is not questioned, what is disputed
is the cause. The reports of unseasonable cold times may well be
caused by the very low sunspot counts, but never mind the new sunspot
cycle is now underway and those cold periods will cease being so
noticeable. The sun's radience cycle and the milanovitch cycles will
eventually take control and bring on the next cold period in some
300 plus years time.
Just you wait and see !

Dear Bazz,

Luckily in this country we have leading climatologists
and a pre-eminent public research organisation -
CSIRO to guide us in the right direction. Australia is
one of the standout countries in terms of human
development status. It is not corrupt and its science is
world class. This matters.

The only danger lies in the dismissal of issues which require
radical solutions that are likely to harm vested economic
and political interests.

New ideas instead of being welcome for the opportunities
they open up for the improvement of the human lot will be
seen as threats to those who've become comfortable in their
ideologies.

But hopefully with enough public pressure and political
support - this may slowly change.

david f,

I have never seen you raise a discussion on mathematics and computers, which are your fields of knowledge.

You always seem to be talking about things outside of your knowledge eg all the Arts things like history, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, etc. But never about the things you actually know about.

I'm curious as to why you want people to see you as someone who as knowledge in the Arts things rather than someone with knowledge in mathematics and computers.

I would not trust the pseudoscience gurus we have in Australia like Tim Flannery, "The Dams will never again be full" and the CSIRO who changed historical records to suit their science. Zali Steggall a snow skier champion knows zero about Climate as the ski fields have record falls this year. She was put in place by Antifa a communist support team.

Dear Josephus,

What do you really know about Zali Steggall?
Or for that matter about Antifa?

If you want to be taken seriously you have to do better
than just repeat what you've obviously heard someone
else say.

You need to provide something of more substance, more
evidence based information.

Josephus, Our parliamentary system is representative government. There is no requirement that members of parliament have any education, or know anything about climate, or anything else. They are there to represent us. So it is appropriate and inevitable that they reflect all of us: the dumb and the smart, the educated and the uneducated, the nice and the nasty, the bad and the good. We know that all of those things are subjective, both left and right think they are the goodies and the other side are the baddies. Steggal 'represented' enough people to win that seat, regardless of who did or did not back her, or what you think.
