-Elect government that doesnt believe in climate change
-One of the biggest coal producers
-Every second person fleeing is in a Suv
-Spends tens of millions each year enticing people to fly intercontinental to visit

Am I missing something ???

To be honest i've never heard a native Australian called a racial slur (and I had never even heard that one), but I don't get out much, and I especially don't hang out with racists.

Anyway lets get this thread back on topic:

OP is spot on. These donations are bandaids for cancer. One of our prime minister's election platforms was "if you vote for the other guy, they're going to take your truck away".

So we cant hold ourselves accountable for this shit? Its time to wake up and start acting, starting with ourselves.

I see fucking people applauding the Hemsworths donating a mil to fight the fire while on the other hand they are pocketing millions encouraging people to fly intercontinental to Australia lol.

I mean, their country is burning to the ground. I'm not about to judge people on their governments because governments don't reflect or act on the will of their peoples.

Begrudging them aid reminds me of people during droughts that say 'well move closer to a river then'.

It did make watching SummerNats mad awkward though. Not the best time to be generating 1500HP clouds of smoke.

Similar fires happened in the early 70s and mid 40s, just in different parts of the country. The difference now is that there are more people, more property and more assholes intentionally setting fires to cash in on insurance claims. Also, you didn’t have a global media to broadcast it 24/7 to the doomsday cult.


Also, it’s not surprising you express this viewpoint. It’s the same kind of myopic shit that wacko Christians do when a natural disaster strikes a community/area of the world they view as “sinners”. Repent for your carbon sins, eh?

If you drive your car into a wall drunk its not God doing it.

If I tell my daughter not to jump on the couch and she does and she falls I tell her "I told u not to jump on the couch", this is whst can happen , give her a hug and maybe she will learn for next time. This is science.

Christians would claim her falling from the couch is because she didnt go to church or whatever nonsene Christians think.

So the temperature rising and the rain season shortening, nah, nothing to do with it?


It did. The changing of weather patterns due to ENSO has caused the government to fail repeatedly in meeting their goals over controlled burns in the past decade, feeding more fuel into these fires. They failed to adjust their planning or even extend it into the usual "winter months" even though those months were warmer and had less precipitation.

Now that they know of how dangerous it is to be so lax with their land management, they should take it more seriously in the future. You would hope.

Being fair: This isn't exclusive to AUS. You could say that about any country due to tourism boosting the economy.

The major problem for AUS is that it's been in a drought for a while. The same shit could happen in California if they didn't do preventive burns.

BTW camels are not Australia endemites so fuck whoever imported them to the continent.

Same could be said for exotic pet owners in Florida or "exotic"/invasive plants in other parts of the world. Thank you so much for the Burmese Pythons invading the Everglades, whoever in Miami decided to flush their pet down the toilet or release it into the wild. Now they're basically killing the ecosystem there if eating Gator's doesn't rupture them in half.

climate change means it may get a little warmer and things change a bit leading to some minor changes on a planetary scale
minor changes on a planetary scales might mean a little hotter and drier in some places, like places with loads of flammable material
which could result in something going from shitty to really shitty for living in the area

but to avoid meandering, it means even if the fire starters are people, the conditions shifted to make the outcome worse

If a fire can spread uncontrollably it will, regardless of how it was started. Hotter and dryer means the fires are going to get worse and worse. It won't be this bad next year because eventually there will be nothing left to catch fire.

Why would they try to motivate people like you, no offense? If you don't care by now, you probably never will. I find twitter/facebook activism very self-laudatory and it makes me feel very embarrassed for the people who are into it. But at the end of the day if it works, it works.

Your "I bet we will be too long gone to say I told you so" statement says it all. Why talk to people who don't give a fuck unless they see benefits for themselves. If safety, cheap electricity, clean air, and the continuation of the human species isn't enough motivation, well...

Eight independent investigations of the allegations and the emails all found that there was no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct by the scientists. One report, by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), considered detailed petitions raised by conservative activists and business groups with reference to the emails: the EPA examined every email and concluded that there was no merit to the claims in the petitions, which "routinely misunderstood the scientific issues", reached "faulty scientific conclusions", "resorted to hyperbole", and "often cherry-pick language that creates the suggestion or appearance of impropriety, without looking deeper into the issues".

Post by: TEEEPO on January 10, 2020, 10:42:13 PM
and fuck it, here's a science lesson that even maybe a wanka such as himself can understand:

so now that we know that the vast majority of the larger fires that are ravaging the bushlands are due to lightning storms, let us try to understand why.

Quote
As the air over a fire becomes intensely hot, it creates an upward-moving rush of wind called an updraft that funnels smoke into the atmosphere like a smokestack. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, forming clouds. The higher it lifts, the more likely it is to form a thunderstorm, says Flannigan.

“These storms create their own wind field because they have such a violent updraft. It’s a very turbulent environment,” he says.

Once formed, pyroCbs can look similar to intense thunderstorms, but they have key differences. They tend to produce lightning with positive, rather than negative charges, which lasts longer and allows the strikes of lightning more time to set the ground aflame. Fire storms also tend to stagnate, staying parked over the fires that create them. And perhaps most notably, fire storms rarely produce the precipitation desperately needed to squelch massive fires.

now this source didn't go into great detail in explaining why positive charges are more deadly than those that are negative but you're in luck because i am often curious about everything i read!

Quote
Positive lightning makes up less than 5% of all strikes. However, despite a significantly lower rate of occurrence, positive lightning is particularly dangerous for several reasons.

Since it originates in the upper levels of a storm, the amount of air it must burn through to reach the ground is usually much greater. Therefore, electric fields associated with positive Cloud-to-Ground (CG) strikes are typically much stronger than those associated with negative strikes. The flash duration is also longer with peak charge and potential up to ten times greater as compared to negative CG strikes; as much as 300,000 amperes and one billion volts!

curious, now that we know the number of amps in a positive lightning strike, we can compare it to the number of amps in say a car lighter... and a quick google search reveals that it is about 15amps which can help explain why...

Quote
The average lightning-caused fire burned 402 acres, nine times the average of 45 acres seen in human-caused wildland fires.


you can google each quote for their respective sources or you can just read this excellent article i just finished digging through earlier this morning that highlights how the aforementioned pyroCbs, or fire-induced lightning storm, are a little-known phenomenon that scientists have only begun researching in 2013 are becoming increasingly more common due to FUCKING GLOBAL WARMING, which should alarm everyone not only in drier climates "because they have as much energy and impact as a moderate-sized volcanic eruption". but you know, environmentalist terrorists who are setting off multiple fires each are to blame for these unprecedented fires.

Woah, it's almost like what is and is not a planet is based on a definition determined by scientific consensus and Pluto has more in common with the dozens of dwarf planets, trans-Neptunian objects, and other minor planetoids that exist in the solar system than it does the 8 traditional planets therefore it makes more sense to classify Pluto differently rather than arbitrarily continuing to call it a planet when multiple other objects in the solar system end up being left out of that classification.

So why the dissent? Debate? It's all so confusing.

Yes, because a small change in a completely arbitrary classification system based on more planetary bodies being discovered and highlighting that such classification system may have been slightly wrong is the example you want to go for here to argue that global warming isn't a thing, you muppet.

This is all conservatives ever do.

Whataboutism.

Always deflect.

Always point.

Always suggest.

Only ever be about "owning the libs".

Anti-intellectualism for the sake of it. They have no points, no arguments, no solutions WHAT SO EVER.

A barf bag of ideology that sees itself to have the depth of Kantian ethics.

People whose philosophy is to always stick their fingers in their ears and are seemingly PROUD of it. Good God, I loathe them. The six or so months I interpolated as a conservative were some of the worst months of my life. Such backwards, bottom feeding, shit eaters.

The dog poop of political spectrums. Put it in a paper bag and set it on fire, PLEASE.

I don't understand why people from overseas are donating?

We are a first world country and people have insurance. We have well funded emergency recovery agencies and most charities are well supported already.

It's all just performative bullshit.

If you want to donate to a good cause, find a charity that supports people in the third world or something.

It's more donating so you get water/etc. for the firefighters. So they don't have to pay for it while combating the fires. Similar to how folks donate to hurricane relief to get water/food/etc. there for folks that need it.

I think the Firefighters would prefer the government ensures they don't keel over from thirst rather than leaving it up to the kindness of strangers to be honest.

The more this hurts the government financially, the more they'll do to prevent it happening again.

Completely unnecessary and already funded by the government.

*shrug* I'm just giving the logic.

Hurricanes, for instance, take a shit ton of money in regards to building places, food, shelter, etc. Insurance alone (and the Government alone) won't cover all of that. So providing water for the firefighters out of donations in theory allows the government to pay for the funerals of the lost fire-fighters, compensation for the family of said lost firefighters, and the like.

Crowdfunding water for firefighters? Read the article I posted to see how absurd that comment is.

There is not a single firefighter in this country who has been left wanting for drinking water or food during this whole episode.

This is not the US, where people affected by natural disasters are abandoned in football stadiums and then arrested when they take food to stop their families from starving.

So if you think arson was the cause of so many fires in Australia, isn't then the response is to help mitigate the effects of climate change so people can't cause such a massive fire to destroy thousands of people lives?
