@Alpha1Nine Sorry but i call bullshit.

Australians want nature protected

If that were genuinely so, #TheGreatUnwashed would have abandoned Shit1 & Shit2 long ago, then swung behind the Greens in droves.

Any nation whose populace still gives 30+% support to cretins & creeps like Liebs & Nuts, is absolutely NOT serious about climate crisis, biodiversity, environment, & numerous other acts of decency.

@ajsadauskas @jaystephens Ta, interesting. I vaguely recall some of that, but your helpful toot defo provided more info than i knew.

I think something like this is why i feel, & tbh remain, so archly cynical... If Straya, & frankly the rest of the world, was genuinely honestly doing all the serious shit needed NOW to decarbonise & ameliorate, then seeking engineering solutions in flood zones like this would be ok. Knowing though that we & most others are totes NOT seriously addressing the crisis, fuels [boom tish] my severe pessimism, coz eg, engineering designs need engineering assumptions [in this case including expected heights & frequency of floods]. Such assumptions necessarily must be predicated on a certain "steady state" belief [plus safety margins thrown in]. That's all fine, IF we had reason to trust such assumptions. I do NOT trust them, simply coz there IS no steady state; humans are continuing to add more & more CO2 & CH4 to Gaia's atmosphere, thus more & more raising the enthalpy, ergo the heating energy, ergo... yada yada.

social.chinwag.org/@sbs_bot/11 So many online & other media reports of all the damage & dislocation caused by #TCAlfred, even though the actual cyclonic aspect, wrt sheer wind speeds, had greatly diminished by the time of the eventual landfall.

Ergo, can we grasp the immensity of the damage & carnage that will result, next time the luck runs the other way, & direct hits on high-population centres arises with rating still at 2, 3... or higher?

Do we keep sticking our heads in the sand & denying / ignoring all this, so that we can continue being climate criminals??

social.chinwag.org/@abc_bot/11 I'm so utterly disinterested in this. I shan't even bother trying to watch His Maj Antony Green's wizardry on Aunty tonight. Whilst tis obvs that Lab will win again, i feel no positive passion at all about that. WA is totes state-captured by the abominable gas industry, & WA Lab have zero ethical superiority over their Liebs-Nats opponents. They're all climate-criminal arseholes.

Charlie Lewis on the #WAElection25 :
"There was an understandable focus on cost of living, health and housing, with Cook and Mettam barreling past any difficult questions to nestle comfortably in their talking points. But, as ever, what wasn’t discussed was every bit as revealing (and given the largely insubstantial answers, probably more revealing) as what was. At no point did the topic of mitigating the environmental impact of WA’s mineral wealth come up.

As with the Tasmanian election and the bipartisan silence on gambling influence, this is what state capture looks like."

IMHO the last sentence calls it!
