It's likely that the terrified people crowding that Australian beach and even in the water with burning embers falling on them, included left, right and centrists as well as people of all religions or none; and among them some of yesterday's deniers are thinking maybe young Thunberg really has a point.
Does she? Hopefully you understand the difference between climate change and the claim of AGW.

Climate patterns behind Australia’s bushfires, heat and drought set to improve

Bureau of Meteorology says two climate patterns behind the dangerous fire conditions have shifted towards neutral

Two climate patterns that have been influencing Australia’s ongoing drought, deadly bushfire weather and record-breaking heat have shifted towards neutral, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

The changes should reduce the chances of hot winds from the west that have been adding to the extreme risk of bushfires in the south-east.

But Dr Andrew Watkins, the head of long-range forecasts at the bureau, told Guardian Australia the damage caused by the two patterns – the positive phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and a negative Southern Annular Mode (SAM) – would likely remain for several months.


He said the change in SAM towards more neutral conditions would reduce the chance of westerly winds that had brought heat and dangerous fire conditions.

“We can’t rule the westerlies out of course, but at least the odds of more bad fire weather starts to reduce,” he said

If its hot on one bit of the earth, it has to have a corresponding cool place or places, or after the burn age, we just might get another ice age.
Burning fossil fuels is speeding up the hot age.
Hey, Lake Simcoe hasn't hardened up.
Not good.

LIE-beral climate lies exposed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Consider::::::




Here is an article exposing the LIE-beral climate hysteria LIES!! With some comments of my own in brackets):

Scientists - dishonest or afraid?

By Walter E. Williams, Special to Postmedia Network

Published: November 18, 2019. Updated: November 18, 2019 4:31 PM EST

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ Opinion/ Columnists

The absolute worst case of professional incompetence and dishonesty is in the area of climate science.



Tony Heller has exposed some of the egregious dishonesty of mainstream environmentalists in a video he’s titled “My Gift To Climate Alarmists.” Environmentalists and their political allies attribute the recent increase in deadly forest fires to global warming. However, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, forest fires reached their peak in the 1930s and have declined by 80% since then. Environmentalists hide the earlier data and make their case for the effects of global warming by showing the public and policymakers data from 1980 that shows an increase in forest fires.

(Oh dear me - an EIGHTY PERCENT REDUCTION in the number of forest fires?? How can LIE-berals maintain their climate hysteria in the face of such facts???????)

Climate scientists claim that rising sea levels are caused by man-made global warming. Historical data from the tide gauge in Lower Manhattan shows that sea levels have been rising from about the time when Abraham Lincoln was president to now. Heller says that sea levels have been rising for about 20,000 years. He points out that anthropologists believe that when the sea level was very low people were able to walk from Siberia to North America.

(And in other news- thanks to continental drift - the eastern seaboard of North America is ERODING and that is causing flooding- that LIE-berals CHOOSE to blame on climate hysteria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Hot weather is often claimed to be a result of man-made climate change. Heller presents data showing the number of days in Waverly, Ohio, above 90 degrees. In 1895, there were 73 days above 90 degrees. In 1936, there were 82 days above 90 degrees. Since the 1930s, there has been a downward trend in the number of days above 90 degrees. If climatologists hide data from earlier years and started at 1955, they show an increase in the number of above 90-degree days from eight or nine to 30 or 40. Thus, to deceive us into thinking the climate is getting hotter, environmentalists have selected a starting date that fits their agenda.

(Figures DON’T LIE - but LIE-berals FIGURE - to edit out the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

You might ask: “Who is Tony Heller? Does he work for big oil?” It turns out that he is a scientist and claims to be a lifelong environmentalist. From what I can tell, he has no vested interests. In that respect, he is different from those who lead the environmental movement, who often either work for or are funded by governments.

Once in a while environmentalists reveal their true agenda. Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the IPCC’s fourth summary report released in 2007, speaking in 2010 advised: “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.”

(Ah YES!! LIE-beral climate hysteria is simply an EXCUSE for a GRAND GRAVY GRAB by power mad LIE-beral PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres said that the true aim of the U.N.’s 2014 Paris climate conference was “to change the (capitalist) economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.”

(Translation - third world countries and Socialist Dictators want OUR GRAVY!!!!)

Christine Stewart, Canada’s former Minister of the Environment said: “No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits. … Climate change provides the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”

(Now LIE-berals want to use climate hysteria to support their SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS against democratic majority rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Tim Wirth, former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs and the person most responsible for setting up the Kyoto Protocol said: “We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”

(And WHAT does economic policy have to do with the FAILED Kyoto and subsequent Paris Accords?? What result - other than MORE GRAVY are LIE-berals seeking - now that they have told us the Paris Accord is a “total failure” and we must start over with a brand new Accord?? THE EVIDENCE IS IN - climate hysteria is GRABBING GRAVY and NOTHING MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Not all scientists are dishonest and not all news reporters are leftists with an agenda. But one wonders at the deafening silence where there’s clear, unambiguous evidence. For example, if ocean levels have been rising for some 20,000 years, why do scientists allow environmentalists to get away with the claim that it’s a result of man-made global warming?

(Cdn news media is of course DEDICATED to promoting LIE-beral social values thanks to decades of careful BIGOTRY regarding who gets into journalism school and who GETS TO GRADUATE AND GET HIRED!! As I have said before - our political values are NOW MORE IMPORTANT than our job skills when it comes to getting hired!! You must promote the LIE-beral causes or be relegated out of HOG jobs and put into the cheap seats in the PRIVATE SECTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Why aren’t there any reporters to highlight leftist statements such as those by Edenhofer, Stewart and others who want to ride global warming as a means to defeat capitalism and usher in socialism and communism? I would prefer to think that the silence of so many scientists represent their fears as opposed to their going along with the environmental extremist agenda.

(Frankly I hope Mr. Williams is WRONG about scientists being fearful!! I would much prefer they simply be greedy and selfish as such people are easier to deal with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(If in fact our scientist are fearful then it means some THREAT has been offered to them by shadowy and dangerous groups and such people are MUCH HARDER to deal with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(I have said many times that Our idiot Boy Justin is an aspiring SOVIET DICTATOR and that assertion is worth repeating!! His handling of the disputes with Red China and his mealy mouthed and half assed condemnation of the strongly Socialist Maduro dictatorship in Venezuela are NOT making Our idiot Boy look any better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course. Look at the data and it's clear as a bell, Oz has two climate modes. Drought or flood.
This problem is not good for wildlife.
Its freekin' horrible !

Half a billion animals perish in Australian bushfires
1 Jan, 2020 7:44pm
There are real concerns entire species of plants and animals have been wiped out by bushfires following revelations almost 500 million animals have died since the crisis began.
Ecologists from the University of Sydney now estimate 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles have been lost since September.
That figure is likely to soar following the devastating fires which have ripped through Victoria and the NSW South Coast over the past couple of days, leaving several people dead or unaccounted for, razing scores of homes and leaving thousands stranded, news.com.au reports.
This morning more than 130 fires were raging across NSW and Victoria, with millions of hectares of national park already burnt.

If anyone tells you that this kind of stuff has never happened in human history before, walk away, they are morons. Every leap in human evolution occurred during chaotic climate conditions whilst in a warming trend. Every leap in human evolution occurred at average global temps that were higher than today.
But nah, the alarmists would rather shit their drawers over a tiny 150 yr period.


This is Harlech Castle in Wales as it would have appeared around 700 years ago. Notice how the Irish Sea comes right up to the rear of the castle.





This is Harlech Castle today. Notice the walk it takes to reach the shore of the Irish Sea today.



Apparently the Irish Sea is immune to "human driven" sea level rise.

After all the other thousands of fires, animals never came back to ecosystem capacity? What makes this time different?

Think?
There's a novel concept, eh?!
Do you think the Bible is a novel?

{8:7} And the first Angel sounded the trumpet. And there came hail and fire, mixed with blood; and it was cast down upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned, and a third part of the trees was entirely burned up, and all the green plants were burned.

{8:8} And the second Angel sounded the trumpet. And something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast down into the sea. And a third part of the sea became like blood.

{8:9} And a third part of the creatures that were living in the sea died. And a third part of the ships were destroyed.
