My lawn died because of climate change.

Do what I did.
Tear out the grass.
And plant weeds.
Nothing kills them.
They don’t need water.
You don’t need to mow them.
They are green.
The rabbits like them.
I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do this.

Yeah, I found my house in the Mojave Desert has a small lawn composed of … Bermuda grass. Duh, duh, duh!.

Bermuda grass? So, the bunnies go in, but they never come out?

If it ain’t edible, medicinal or practically useful, why waste water on it? But I still hope the ‘seventies climate terrorists were right, and we’ll see some more rain around these parts…

Many years ago, back at the beginning of teh interwebz, Uncle Al Schwartz told me that he had cemented his front yard, painted it green and artfully scattered rocks.

I miss Uncle Al and how that he is doing well.

I remember seeing that site years ago. Maybe even before I found WUWT.
Just what has CAGW promoters predicted/projected back then would happen by 2020 actually HAS happened?

What species of spider is that? The biggest one we have is the Madagascar baboon spider, so I’m intrigued but don’t want that critter as a pet or neighbor.

I believe that is the common Araneae plasticus or possibly A. rubberium. They are frequently found near novelty and joke shops.

The Sydney (Australia) funnel web is a nasty, deadly, angry spider. If you see one splat it under your feet or it will chase you (Bad eyes apparently) down the street.

Wasn’t there an Aussie gal who was bitten on the funnel by a finger web spider ?

Dear Gunga,

Without a doubt human brains have shrunken considerably. It might be correlation rather than direct causation, but you have to give the CAGW promoters credit where credit is due.

Most domesticated animals have brains 20-25% smaller than their wild cousins. We are being domesticated by a political party throwing a safety net over us.

It would be a nice research project to find how much watching videos contributes to a brain shrinkage.

I don’t think they’ve shrunk. I think they’re just so filled with social media, narcissism, virtue signaling, rebel without a cause nonsense, that there’s no room for common sense any more.

Climate change heat caused my hair to fall out.
Climate change wind blew the toupee off my head.
A mangy dog grabbed it, and ran away with it in his mouth.
That was an expensive toupee.
Cost me $19.95, not including the glue.

If the dog had mange, he may have needed it.

I visited the US in the mid nineties and found the Americans loved an Australian few Australians had heard of – Steve Irwin. I screwed up my face and the Yank went on about how he knows hardly any Aussies had heard of the guy but Americans love him. I said that I had heard of him but dismissed him as an idiot who would get himself killed. Sad to get that one right but boy did he press his luck, especially in the early days.

In the end, it wasn’t getting eaten by a crocodile or envenomed by a deadly snake that did him in (he had plenty of experience with handling those animals), but getting run through by a stingray, something outside his comfort zone.

When you call yourself the Crocodile Hunter, you might want to stick to crocs.

“he had plenty of experience with handling molesting those animals”

Fixed it for you.

As an American, I never could stand the idiot or his family. You don’t learn about animals by watching some moron lay on top of them.

I remember watching a portion of one of his shows, only once. They had some grossly contrived scene where someone had forgotten to turn the light off in the room filled with giant snakes.

So, they filmed his wife entering the room. But, here’s the kicker, the light switch wasn’t by the door, oh no. It was ALL the way on the other side of the room. So she carefully tiptoed her way through giant snakes just to turn off a light, and back again.

I thought, “Really?? This is more contrived than professional wrestling, and not nearly as interesting.”

I don’t wish death on anyone (well, there might be a couple), but I’m glad he’s not out terrorizing poor animals any more. They can fend for themselves. It’s just a shame that his kids are taking up the moron mantle.

We need a list of The Saddest Things Caused By The Fake Issue of Climate Change. 1. The children whose young lives are being ruined horribly by so-called adults filling their minds with Total Lies about how the planet is being destroyed by humans simply wanting to live comfortably, or even just wanting to survive. Greta Thunberg comes to mind, although she is getting close to adult status now. Her childhood was stolen from her, not by “Climate Change”, but by Total Lies about it. There is now even a documentary about her on Hulu, called “I Am Greta”. Here is the
trailer, which I did watch. I may watch the actual documentary, just out of curiosity. though I already know the story, and how it will be spun. In Greenie Weenie’s eyes, she is a modern-day Joan of Arc – part heroine, part martyr, sacrificing her childhood for the “Greater Good”, when in fact, she’s a victim of what can only be described as a horrendously evil ideology.

Bruce,
Eleven or twelve centuries ago during Viking times, Greta would have been the mother of three most likely. At 17, nearly 18, she would be middle aged, with perhaps 15-20 winters ahead of her.

It is absurd to absolve young adults from their crimes as if they do not have any capacity for reason. A society that teaches victimhood begets amoral sociopaths and results in chaos.

Or would have died in childbirth, something all but unheard of in places with modern medicine.

A culture of death can only form in decadence, where living has become so easy that people lose sight of the value of life.

Did you also notice the books in the background with the cover facing the camera? “Socialism is Evil”, “The Patriot’s Toolbox”, and “Capitalism” (the last one is not the entire title).
Can’t be a coindence that he chose those books.
