climate change

I think for the correct answer to all this you only have to “ follow the money “.

There’s a lot of VERY rich people in the world making an absolute killing out of this.

Why do think Simon Holmes a Court funds the Teals ???

Because he loves the girls for their stance , because he thinks they can do a great job ?? , because he’s just a kind benefactor ???

If , at the next election , the Teals control the balance of power , every cent he has spent will be delivered 10 fold , directly to his bank account.

Why are the grifter Pacific nations all asking for more money to fight Climate Change ??

Not because they need it , because of the graft & corruption that will send tens of millions to the bank accounts of their politicians.

My family have been farming in north west NSW for 155 years , my great grandfather arrived in 1870.

Luckily the family has the records for rain , droughts , floods and temperatures going back all that time.

The early records are very basic , rainfall records and mentions of temperatures plus notations for droughts / floods.

As we get into the 1900’s the reporting is more thorough , but still a little basic.

From the mid 1900’s the reporting is far more involved , my father was an avid weather recorder.

My brother now farms , and he’s had done a spreadsheet of the weather , mainly rainfall and temperatures, fur all that time.

What it shows is this.

The weather is cyclical , it’s up and down like a brides nighty. There are wet periods that go for years , always followed by dry periods that go for years.

The temperatures in 1870, 1930, 1980 & currently ( that’s 50 year gaps ) are almost identical , the hottest temp in 1870 was 114 degrees Fahrenheit , the hottest temperature in 2024, 45 degrees Celsius.

The wettest year in the 1800’s 32 inches , the driest , 5. In the 2000’s the wettest year 30 inches , the driest 7.

Am I a climate change denier , in some ways yes , do I think the climate is changing , yes , do I think a ****load of money will fix it , no.

Just 25 years ago Al Gore was predicting the next ice age.

Now he’s predicting Armageddon due to heat.

Has Al Gore made any money from his spewing predictions.

Gazillions

Follow the money !!

I'd like a source for that quote Mark

I like to keep it pretty simple.

You can not say the way we live modern life (in terms of consumption and how we produce goods) does not have an impact on the environment.

May not have been him , but check this link out , lots have been predicting disaster after disaster since the 1970’s

By the way I don’t think any of Gore’s disaster theories have happened, but could be wrong

Politicians, scientists, and celebs assure us the apocalypse is tomorrow, and if not, the day after will do. Buckle up for a look at 50 years of cataclysmic predictions.

Mark you make a pretty wild statement that Gore states we are heading for an ice age when all he has ever said is that we are adding to global warming - I dont agree with all he has said but I think his general opinion (that we are negligently adding to global warming), is sound.
The piece you added the link to is an Opinion Piece in a Farm/Ag publication of a not for profit group that states in its own 'About us' page that amongst other things
"We write and commission research papers every year on policy issues ranging from agriculture’s role in fighting climate change to the impact of stagnant U.S. public funding for agricultural research. We build on this research through speaking events, op-eds, coalitions with industry leaders, and more.

It appears they aren't climate change deniers but that some of their contributors are.
