Luckily Tarkan has established that climate change is a hoax, so it's all good.

I think I may be living in one of the few places on earth with "normal" weather this year.

Sydney was having a drought before all this right?

Naah pandemic. Then before that fires. Drought was before that.

Getting a bit irritating if I am honest.

Australia now has only two seasons: "underwater" and "on fire". I'm in Oz at the moment. It's the middle of winter and its 20deg and sunny. I've been to the beach nearly every day.

Anthropogenic global warming is a hoax.

Climate change is a constant.

Or you can believe that atmospheric CO2 concentration going from 0.0032% to 0.0042% is pivotal and wrecking the global climate and starting riding your bike more, stop eating beef, and hang your clothes outside to do your part.
I'd whore myself out just one more time if I knew who to screw to get out of this grind.

I actually do not believe CO2 is the primary cause. I believe that pollution can and does cause Climate Change mostly through particulates. C02 is the measure of the level of pollution and it is a contributing factor (It cannot not be a contributing factor, just like increased water vapor cannot either)

So that is my vaguely conspiratorial belief. ..that and Democrats groom children for exploitation and hide them in basements of pizza parlors.

I went on a 60 Minutes Australia binge recently and came across this one about floods in Lismore.

Not knowing anything about the place my feeling is they need to relocate - at least I would - that is just way too much to deal with on an ongoing basis.

LOL at you calling me a fucking moron. Legitimately funny. Especially comparing lead to CO2 and a global climate system to a body. Keep at it though, I'm sure your Greenpeace pamphlet on AGW taught you everything you need to know about everything, you fucking tosser.

Particulates tend to have a cooling effect, particularly sulfur particulates.

High(er) CO2 levels tend to be beneficial for plant growth (which is why greenhouses often pump CO2 in). More plant growth = more carbon sequestration.

Saying AGW is a hoax is not the same thing as saying humans aren't having a significantly negative impact on the environment. If you want to worry about ecological impact, overfishing and the polluting of the oceans is a much more pressing concern - this is going to kill a lot more people a lot sooner than global warming will.

I fell into a rabbit hole and while it was interesting for the duration I experienced no thrill of victory or agony of defeat so I moved on.

anyway maybe it started with the land down under's take on the monarchy - what an anthropormorphic mess that is - all because they want to make sure Hurricane Diana disappears and is never mentioned again.

at least until Prince Charles kicks off and with their longevity that could be decades. so what I really want to know is will OZ become a republic and should I stop raining on ROB's parade and get off his thread?

Raining on ROB's parade is fun, so let's do that. Having an old English bitty as our head of state is deeply embarrassing, but I'm not convinced Australians can get past their own apathy to do anything about it.

Particulates cause ice to melt. Less ice means more water in the atmosphere which is a "bigger" greenhouse gas than co2.

The staggering arrogance of thinking you can state that when study after study demonstrates a consensus among actual experts is staggering.

https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

But sure, tell me you know more about it than fucking NASA.

Yeah, I'll bet those NASA boobs never thought of that.
