Yes , your right lets not use Aus as an example , lets maybe use the ice sheets/sea ice of the Arctic region that is disappearing leaving starving Polar Bears slowing encroaching on civilisation to survive , Walrus and Seals forced to be landlocked on periless cliffs falling to there death or maybe the glaciers of Europe and New Zealand that are disappearing at a rate of knots or maybe the slowly thawing frozen tundra of northern Europe that is sequestering billions of tons of carbon slowly being released , lets not forget all the low lying pacific islands and coastal cities , that are disappearing under a rising sea displacing thousand .
I haven't started on the changes with the sea where underlying currents that drive a lot of the weather around the world are gradually being changed , and the creatures at the bottom of the food chain put under immense stress causing a chain event that will effect all marine and terrestrial life , yes lets not use Aus as an example.
Your right , climate change has allways existed but nature usually allows change to be slow enough i.e. over thousands of years to allow life to adjust but when change happens too quick for nature to adjust then mass extinctions occur such as the extinction of the dinosaurs caused by a meteorite or the pouring of billions and billions of tons of carbon back into the atmosphere that WE have done. There is no scientific explanation other than human actions that can explain the changes were experiencing . Have we caused it , go argue with the hundreds of educated knowledgeable scientists that say we did .
Were all lucky as were going to be well dead when your great great grand children will be blaming us for being for being so complacent . Maybe we should just stick to what we know and drive our polluting V8's around and make excuses to make us feel better
Well, typical that some one has doubts (note, that doesn't mean a denier, it means I have issues I haven't been convinced of yet) gets a gobful from someone who is convinced.
I said I didn't think Australia was the best place to assess climate change. That was purely because we are already a nation of extreme weather patterns. Are we REALLY the best place to determine rising temperatures, compared to countries which don't experience extremes as the norm? At no time did I say it wasn't getting warmer, I said the climate is undergoing change. Is that too hard to understand? Clearly, it was.
Oceans rising? Bullshit. If the oceans are rising and inundating low lying island groups, why aren't our tides showing the same increases? Why aren't our low lying coastal suburbs also threatened with inundation? It's the same ocean, after all, or does it only rise where it can suit the argument? That one argument is the most specious used by climate change exponents. The leaders of various Pacific nations used that excuse to persuade us to gift them half a billion dollars to fight climate change. If they're going under, how will they use the money - by building bloody big walls around their islands to keep the water out?
Yes, our climate is changing, but the paranoia that has gripped so many, to the point that we now have a climate emergency, is the area of greatest difference between people like yourself and those like me who accept change is occurring, but not at the speed claimed.
