This is particularly a media narrative, but you see it all the time, now, in everything from officialdom to academia to “the news”…
Literally any “unusual” or “unseasonal” meteorological event, anywhere in the world, must be “climate change”…
Here in Aus they are trying to connect it to “indigenous seasonal calendars” and “racial justice”, to make it a woke issue, never mind, of course, their largely failed attempts to rope in the Pacific Islanders…
It never bloody ends, hey? Especially with the once-again useless COP on, right now…
My city’s mayor, who somehow just won re-election, is currently on a ratepayer-funded trip to that conference, because she is a Green, and of course she isn’t gonna miss another “Green junket”…
It’s just crazy, this whole thing. Not, admittedly, quite as crazy as “the gender wars”, which we all know about, but man… EVERYTHING is a never-ending apocalypse to the left, even without their whole “democracy in danger” rhetoric, lately…
Climate change is unfalsifiable.
Everything that is unfalsifiable functions as a mind prison.
you can falsify lots of claims made for climate change, you'll just get shouted down and personally attacked and all the leftists will act like you don't exist.
Freudianism is a great example of this too. Any attempt at refutation inherently becomes some form of sexual pathology.
Leftists love the "heads I win, tails you lose" game.
While you're correct in principle, climate change IS actually quite easy to falsify. The Leftists narrative just won't allow people to falsify it without being ostracized and persecuted, effectively using fear to silence opposition, same as they do for everything else they promote.
If there's one thing COVID taught us, is people are easily shamed and pressured into obedience when it comes to scientific topics. People have been convinced they're not smart enough to evaluate scientific topics, so that ground has been effectively ceded to the Left.
The beauty of climate change is that the existence of weather is the proof. It's a form of earth worship, a la BAP's longhouse.
It's the ultimate grift. Scientists get fat grants to study it.
Politicians can use it as a campaign issue, then if they ever leave politics, they can get a cushy job at any number of climate change related entities.
Pieces of shit like Bill Gates can use it to force people to buy his bug food.
Governments use it to tax the shit out of their citizens.
Globalists use it to consolidate power and inch us closer to their desired one world government.
And nobody can ever prove them wrong because they control the $cience and the media.
Even hot/cold days that AREN'T unseasonal are being called "drastic climate change."
The media in Ireland, and I'm not joking, were claiming that a few days of nice weather was some sort of proof of climate change. They didn't want the people to enjoy it, they wanted them to feel guilty because of it.
Yeah, it’s spring here in the Southern Hemisphere and it’s finally getting warm (as of the last week), but, because COP is on, the media is still harping on about how it is “climate-change related” and “winter is disappearing”…
So you’re right.
They never give up on the grift, lol.
Much like how “everything I don’t like is racist” is now their raison d’être, too…
climate change is and has always been a scam that is designed to divert government funds into the pockets of left wing interest groups and donors.
academics who do the research get billions in govt grants and turn around and give part of this money to left wing politicians
"green" corpos who also get govt handouts as subsidies and again, pay off their patrons
it also provides a propaganda point for indoctrination of stupid kids, brainwashing them from youth into thinking that anyone who defies the global warming grift is killing the planet.
*Also bush/wildfires, of course…
Forgot to call that specific one out, lol.
If it’s not one thing, it’s the exact opposite, and yet both are supposedly “climate change”. Which is, I suppose, both the problem, and my point…
Yep. Trust me, I know all this.
The eucalypts that now cover large parts of California, intentionally or otherwise, come from here, after all…
Most standard “gun trees”, and indeed, probably most iconic Australian “bush” trees, are exactly as you describe…
However, because of all the bullshit in Australia around “cultural burning”, you tend to end up with a “three stage consultation process with Indigenous elders” before you can even start clearing the undergrowth on public land…
Never mind the fact that the Abos denuded large parts of the landscape, by setting fire to it fairly arbitrarily…
Anyway, all this is to say, it’s complex, and is made worse by both the woke nanny state and bureaucracy, drought, growing the wrong plants, and, as you say, both droughts and fire bug scum…
I’ve grown up in a place with a history of said fire bug scum regularly setting fire to shit, so trust me, I know. I can affirm all that you have said. It’s really not that different over here, quite honestly…
"Gum trees" - so named because of their distinctive sap.
I think it's safe to assume that Bambi here probably knows how to spell the vulgar names of the common flora and fauna of his homeland. It's also highly unlikely he's using a Dvorak keyboard, so 'm' and 'n' are adjacent.
Hahaha nah, it was a (tired) typo.
Though they (“gum trees”) are rather dangerous, in many ways…
Toxic leaves (unless you’re a koala) and sap, tendency to explode when catching fire, and the tendency to randomly drop large, sharp dead branches (“widow makers”) on unsuspecting passers-by at regular occasions…
So perhaps “gun tree” would be a better name, at least for some of them! 😂
You’re right about the dangerous stuff - though unless you seek it out, here, you don’t tend to encounter the majority of it…
Except snakes. Hard to avoid snakes and spiders and the like, especially in Summer!
Yes, as pointed out by multiple others, that’s clearly a typo, lol. It was 4am, and autocorrect was probably involved…
I didn’t actually know the sap was the reason, though, so there you go…
That’s interesting!
I'll just paste what I said about the COP27 circle jerk.
Yes, it's that time of year again!
It's time for COP27, the 27th edition of the new Heaven's Gate.
All the world leaders are here, with their female handlers, of course, for a long fortnight of unending doomsaying, designed to make everyone miserable and worried so they vote for whatever stooge the More Feminine Way offers them.
May we all pray for
Comet Haley-BoppClimate Action to bring us to a new world.And don't forget, there's no climate justice without gender justice, as High Priestess Thunberg said.
The people that can't tell you if it will rain tomorrow say giving the government money will fix the climate.
Humans haven't changed. Before God fell so out of favor in the west the past 70 years, that was the thing to blame for everything. Since that card couldn't be played as this thing no one could prove wasn't the case, the fear monger had to be rebranded.
Seriously, replace "global warming" with "God" and you have the exact same scare shit people have had for the past thousands of years in order to control the public.
If it's not falsifiable it's not science, it's dogma. They are a doomsday cult, and they worship death.
Well you see, the greenhouse gases trap the sun's energy in like a greenhouse, and just like a greenhouse it gets colder! Don't believe it? Why do you hate Science?
if you put your mind to it everything can be climate change!
but if you do as WE say and just OBEY, it will go away!
yeah. it's a cover story to nationalize the most important industry to every economy: energy. It's communism with a thin veneer of lies.
gosh how terrible it would be if vlad dropped something on cop
