Yep I understand that you are over this debate on climate changeI am so over this debate about climate change, the earth has always gone through many climate changes in the billions of years or for as long as its been here, as for my own country of this great land down under, we are the driest continent in the world, the aboriginals one of the oldest people on the planet, but they learned to live with the land, they were nomads and never stayed in one place, they moved on when thing changed and when they did they burn off where they been so the bush regenerate it help the native animals and plants.
Settlers have only been here for just over 200 years and upset the natural environment from what's been happening for over 40000 + years, we have long term droughts, bush fires, we have average rain falls and every so often we have big rain falls that floods everything, the aboriginals learn to live with all these seasonal changes.
White man comes along and build big cities, dam the natural river systems to control water for framing and people living in crowed coastal areas where 80% of Aussies live then come times of drought our river systems suffer, people build houses on the river banks because they like to be close to the water an then when we have the big drought breaking wet season and everyone suffers from flooding, blame climate change.
Inland Aust relies on ground water, without floods the ground water dries up we need floods to replenish that water supply.
We have our good times but we also have our bad times, it's been happening for millions of years and climates have change in that time as well, but in stead of fixing things the way it was and too many so call climate change experts drumming their beliefs in the young ones heads that we are all doomed, over population, tearing the trees down so we can feed the population, then the natural land suffers, but we got to learn how to manage the land better and learn off the people who looked after the land for all those 40000 + years and live with the changes, not make it worst, man kind is our worst enemy here, we want to live the good life and all but we need to get back to looking after the land, let the rivers flow as it use to be instead of tearing it up to build more houses, dams or farm lands, we got to live with the earth not destroy it and mother nature rules not man kind.
There is climate change but as I say it's been happening long before man came along.
As for the doomed they been around as long as man been here.
But I'll give you an example of what's happening here
Anyone with an older vehicle driving in outer London will have to pay £12.50 per day after August this year
It's to clean up outer London's air so they say
So it's an extra £75 to get to work per week
There is no public transport alternative for most people
If this comes to your town will you be able to pay it
That's around $23 Australian dollars every day you drive
