Perhaps somebody should have told their 19th ancestors!

The report of 1868 reflects my experience since 1962 – droughts and flooding rains. Over and over again.

I’m sitting here freezing my arse off in Canberra, the nations capital. Please bring on some more of that global warming goodness. The ‘unliveable’ part is goose green electricity prices expected to go up by yet another 10%-15% at their annual price increase which takes place every July.

Pretty similar in good old Manchester (home of Manchester City)….Walking the dog at 9.00am with two jumpers, a fleece and wooly hat and gloves. Our gas/electricity prices due to go up another 40% in October……

Yes so true, I was musing about how unlivable things were just last weekend while sitting on the deck at a micro brewery. The beer, pizza and views along a crystal clear green valley had me wondering how i tolerate such conditions.

We are indeed hardy adaptable people us Aussies.

If the snakes, spiders, crocodiles, sharks, box jellyfish, Ivan Milat and drop bears can’t keep them at bay, what chance do a bit of wet weather and a few hot days have?

More unliveable? What does that mean?

It’s either unliveable or not, a binary choice.

It’s written from the point of view of a pampered, overpaid, underworked parasite living in a cold city on the other side of the world with no clue what he’s talking about. To him, every temperature over 25C would be ‘unliveable’ – above that would be more and more unliveable; presumably intimating that the word he is unsuccessfully groping for is actually ‘uncomfortable’.

Get back to me when it’s over 40

No, you get back to me when you’ve read the rest of that sentence.
Basically for ‘unliveable’ read ‘uncomfortable’.

I was referring to this, Richard: “To him, every temperature over 25C would be ‘unliveable’”

I spent my first 40 years in Southern California where over 40 was a normal summer. I assumed the context where I was responding to the “pampered, overpaid, underworked parasite” was clear, apparently it was not.

I love a sunburnt country
A land of sweeping plains
Of ragged mountain ranges
Of droughts and flooding rains.

Well, much though I hate to agree with anything coming out of the BBC’s orifices, I must admit that, given their covidia and the latest election result, Oz must be getting pretty close to unlivable.

A natural signal would be temperature gradients from the cause/source to colder areas. Having higher temperature rises at ground level than where the greenhouse gases are (& further from equator) makes AGW harder to believe.
Also remember that temperature is an indirect measure of energy because it’s dependent on pressure, chemistry & quantity (ie. number of atoms/molecules). Energy movement is affected by temperature differences, tides & wind. Our clouds & climate us affected by sun, moon, planets & cosmic rays.

media collusion AND antisocial media f u overbook had a huge part in brainwashing/scaring fools into supporting the greens teals and labor. most are the at homes or well off did Uni types with zero idea of actual facts of the lives of the majority in aus re just getting by.
and they will remain buffered while the average people battle harder to just keep a roof overhead and eat.

Who benefits from a weak (“unlivable) Australia? China. All that lovely coal for the taking.

According to the climate hysterics, soon the entire continent will be down under (water).

So why not stop the tourism ad budget and tell that industry they need to close? Let’s get real again.

“why, this place is unlivable!”

Hey, for anyone in OZ who wants to escape with their life before they get fried, I’m offering 2¢ on the dollar for your property.

Sitting on Newcastle beach this afternoon after a glorious swim.

Just don’t know how I managed!

My eldest stepdaughter lives in Sydney, NSW, and I have a brother and sister in law in Queensland. If things were that bad I’m sure they would have mentioned something in last nights family Zoom call.

Australia is going to become unliveable because of the stupid climate alarmists, not climate change. When we 40 degree days (we’ve had 40 degree days for time immemorial -it’s nothing new) and the aircon packs up, people are going to be looking to get the next plane out of here.
