    Default Climate Change - The "Experts" say $4Trillion cost to Australia

    I really find these one sided reports hard to swallow, but anyway... These are experts!
    Telling us what is going to happen in the year 2100.

    Maybe start buying property in our vast deserts for a few pennies(for the great grand kids).

    I'm fed to the back teeth with all this Globull warming Crap and the so called experts that the gullible hold out a being infallible when they haven't got a single prediction right yet.
    Nothing but a complete and utter world wide scam to put money in the pockets of Big Biz and gubbermints and keep the sheeple distracted from real issues like what a poor job the pollies are doing pretty much the world over.

    Also shits me to tears with all this crap about Australia responsibility and the WE have some obligation " to lead the way" when the head Green washed preacher has already said that we cannot make a difference even if we stopped all emissions.

    They hold out every Flood or drought or Snow storm or heat wave to be proof of Globull Warming ( or the rebranded Climate Change" when it became obvious Globull warming was patently wrong ) and ignore that still the worst Floods and droughts happened 50 , 100 or more yeara ago and always have been happening.
    Personally I don't mind at all if the earth warms up a bit. I hate the cold and my garden would grow a lot better in winter if it were warmer as would the tress and crops. If the sea levels rise from melting ice caps then that would reduce the salinity and we can pump sea water inland ( powered with all the unreliable energy) and water the farms. easy.

    In a nut shell ( which is appropriate given how many globull warming Nutters there are out there) We are supposed to spend Billions on a problem that we can fix anyway while other shithole places will continue to do nothing at all and suffer no economic or way of life hardships at all?

    Yeah, that makes sense.

    Every time I read of this crap I want to go burn a tyre and put it on YT and say you stop with the Green bullshit and I'll stop Burning tyres.

    I really want all these environmental whingers to be held accountable so when in 2030 Fk all has happened, they are answerable or face prison time.
    Lets see how Cocksure they are of all the gloom and doom they are then and see if they are prepared to put everything they own and their freedom backing all this money they want to piss up the wall on this scam.

    The problem is now there are too many grants and handouts for spreading this FUD but no accountability to get it right. Just go with what the other sheeple scientis say and that will be proof enough you are right because they are all saying the same thing.

    Ya!

    A more digestible brief is here:
    This is the baby of Tim Flannery and Will Steffan. Flannery's predictions have always been awful, and he is not in fact qualified in climate science. Haven't bothered looking up Staffan's predictions but the climate council is about as alarmist as they come. Zero credibility.

    Of course all the globull BS goes hand in hand with the over the top hype about Electric vehicles.
    My prediction is that is going to be an unmitigated disaster in this country and all their predictions of what will be happening, what everyone will be driving or how many will be around will not even come close to the environmental whingeing predictions.

    But that will be OK because they will have more still to whine about and put shit on people for not buying the things when there will be multiple reasons they just won't work for a load of people here.

    Just reading VW took 10K pre orders in 24 Hours for the EV it is working on.
    And people still argue and ridicule my belief that Tesla will be history inside of 5 Years. Vw are one of how many manufacturers that are going to start raining these electrics down not even thinking of the Chinese and their goal to get into the west EV market with all their cars.

    Still no one has been able to give me a financially based reason ( rather than Musk flavoured Koolaide worshipping) why/ how they can survive.

    Most politicians the world over couldn't organise a f*ck in a brothel, yet we're supposed to believe they'll all join together and not only understand the climate, but get the policies correct to change it?......not much to say really is there......

    Flannery the flimflam man....

    He has a 100% failure record as far as predictions go. 100%. In a rare interview a number of years ago, he let slip that it would take 1000s of years to reverse "climate change". Anyone who thinks we'll all be hanging on with baited breath is an idiot. I prefer to leave my grand children a chance (however slim with the politicians we elect) of a vibrant economy without lying to them and calling them evil for turning on an air conditioner or driving a car.

    We need a sensible balance of proven load carrying technology and the renewable stuff. Start with nuclear by telling the luddite left to shove it. It's just common sense.

    This says it all to me and shows what the suckers are falling for..........

    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    The thing with experts is that there is one for every single topic and for both sides of the argument.

    Essentially they cancel each other out.

    Was stirring but would like to make what i think is an intelligent comment, Australia and Australians cannot moralize as to what other countries are or are not doing if they don't first get their house in order

    I don't see why we should "moralise" ANYONE at all.

    A sensible balance that doesn't throw all the eggs in one basket is what is required, not greenligious zeal.

    I don't see why it's so hard to use basic common sense and diversify.

    Not until after the election and the ALPs gender philosophy (and I use that term for all their new age sh!t) becomes law, and any attempt to question them becomes hate speech.

    Dunno about the superior intelligence bit.....I'd just call it better educated, and having access to a damn sight more information.

    I think you might be referring to the likes of:

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA):



    National Oceanic and Atmospherics Administration (NOAA):



    Royal Geographic Society:



    The Royal Society:



    World Meteorological Organisation(WMO):



    Climatic Research Unit - University of East Anglia:



    CSIRO:




    and....well, you get the picture.

    Oh, and of course........the Austech Society of Armchair Climate Scientists

    I still say what if you are not as smart as you think you are and you are wrong, the world turns to shit, what are you going to do, reverse engineer every thing. Boy i would like to be as confident as some on this site
    Not arguing that the world may be naturally heating but why would you assist it to heat etc
    Just find that a totally selfish attitude with no regards to others
