Oh, yes... :P

Oh, yes... :P I forgot, I deleted everything ahead of cancelling my account, but I'm still here. I hope everyone had a great Christmas/New Year/Holiday Season/Zagmuk  We here in Australia have had a horror couple of months...well before the annual bushfire season started, we had bushfires. They've gotten way out of hand and there's no sign of a let-up for some time. Some people are saying (and have said for some years) that the increasing severity of droughts (there have been severe drought conditions throughout Australia for quite a while. Sydney is on water restrictions) and bushfires are just a<b> natural </font></b>phenomenon unrelated to climate change. These people are NOT listening to fire authorities, have been saying that the bushfire season has been starting earlier each year. Climate change IS NOT the cause of the bushfires, but IT IS responsible for the increasing severity. Unfortunately, our current government (the Liberal Party - our equivalent of the U.S. Republican Party, and whatever Party Boris Trump in the U.K. belongs to) is following the U.S. Republicans in denying that there's a problem. Climate change is a fact. No amount of political or religious obfuscation is going to change that. As an FYI, in the 1860s, the Irish physicist John Tyndall pointed out that the carbon dioxide in the air must have a critical effect on temperature and climate. And even if the global temperature rises were entirely natural, shouldn't we be doing something? Nope. Wasting money on invading other countries or trying to start wars with them. Things are only going to get worse, whether human-driven or naturally, and in the meantime, millions of our fauna have perished, people have died, and others have lost their homes. It's not over yet. |

I've been following your nation's plight every day on the news as it relates somewhat to Canada. It's foolish to think that burning gigatons of carbon-based fuels (which took millions of years to accumulate and form) in the span of 300 years cannot have a global impact. And it's equally ludicrous to believe the situation can be 'fixed' with a few decades worth of proposed high-tech solutions.

Sadly we are seeing this all over the world now on a regular basis , the ongoing devestation in Australia as well as many other much smaller countries like Gran Canaria. Still amazed at how so called inteligent poloticians around the world can still just see it as a coincidental thing .Biggest problem being is the situation can only get worse as the problem comes from many many countries life styles. What we do and others do has a global effect and it can only be remedied globaly and fast emerging countries are adding to the problem daily and of course the difficulty of countries like my own that virtually started the industrial revolution and have benefited from it so much. The world has coped with climate change before going back to the ice age and beyond , problem is now its too fast and there isn't time for the world to adapt, at least thats my opinion , its all very sad and can see some token things being done but I fear its too little too late .
