Look at this, In Melbourne they have just completed an entire apartment building to accommodate 750 international students:

I suppose that explains why rents in Sydney's CBD apartment buildings are falling: no Chinese students to fill them.

And probably explains why Berejiklian is against setting up Covid isolation camps in the NSW bush. It's all about the Chinese and the money they bring in.

The dumbing down of education is evident in the rubbish talked about climate.

Ian Plimer again reminds us that climate change is cyclical, and we are now heading for another Ice Age. The 'experts' have egos "incommensurate with their knowledge", he says; and the dumbing down of education, particularly history, has enabled these people to get away with anything.

The BOM is using the word 'unprecedented' in regard to temperatures, when their own records would show that this is wrong, if they had the awareness and nous to consult them.

ttbn,

It's 60 years too late to be talking about fixing the global warming problem.

The damage has been done and it is irreversible.

Expect to see more and frequent severe droughts and storms/flooding and a lot less what most would call 'normal' weather.

Saw a TV program yesterday where they referred to of a 7-year drought from 1895 onward.

individual,

Yes, it is quite famous.

Brought on by a major El Nino event that affected large parts of the planet.

In India the drought was so bad that within the first year 5 million people died of starvation due to the famine caused by the drought.

Here they come folks:

Looks like the university migrant processing centres are open for business.

"Here's your degree."
"Ah so. Thank you."
"And here's your permanent residency visa."
"Ah so. Thank you."
