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…
"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!
