Thanks Cameron; ‘As my total contribution to global death toll can only be infinitesimal… ‘

Hope you don’t might if we leave you where your carcass drops, we’ll just step around it as we shuffle on as it will take energy to clean up your mess

Similar to nurses in rural America reporting that people with Covid were denying its existence as they took their last breath. They were told this by evil monsters on Fox News and other outlets- vaccinated creeps. Good day LNP deniers!

Service industries contribute 80% of UK GDP. Manufacturing and construction are 10 and 6 percent. Those together make up 96%. Not hard to understand why that mining/fossil fuel industries do not have the influence in the UK they have here.

Under duress versus same forces we see in Oz e.g. Atlas Koch ‘junk tanks’ found at or around Tufton St. London like GWPF Global Warming Policy Foundation…

The selfishness of some people and some countries( fossil Australia) is appalling. The I’m alright Jack attitude won’t wash because the planet is a closed system. The world is acting with increasing fervour but wether it will be fast enough we will soon find out.

They accept the science because the call to action was made by David Cameron, a conservative PM. The Labour Party could scarcely campaign against him. Our toe rag conservative politicians are beneath contempt in refusing to accept the science, especially when they are given the best information available. Dutton, Abbott and others will enter the history books as criminally culpable for the coming catastrophies.

I am inspired by your stance and am applying it to the rest of my life. As my contribution to the sewerage problem is minimal I am now sh*tting in the street. As my total contribution to global death toll can only be infinitesimal I am now driving on the right side of the road and not stopping at traffic lights. And so on.

Living in Brisbane the climate was then subtropical from November to March but more pleasant from April though to October with cooler nights and warm days and quite cold due to westerly winds in August,

The joke is it being called BrisVegas when now it is now more akin to a BrisHabana with sticky 30C, days in May and starting again in September as found when visiting family sometime in that period.

And they have already had a 30C. day now at the end of August!

I suspect that even now anything Margaret Thatcher championed is sacrosanct to UK conservatives.

Indeed. For a local example from the other side of the aisle, see Labor and Keating (prime example: superannuation).
