Guest viewpoint: Peter Kraneveld - Fiduciary duty and global warming


If humanity fails to prevent irreversible global warming, the consequences are not yet fully modeled, but they already look terrifying to unacceptable. To a large extent, the consequences are threefold: freak weather events and events linked to weather changes, a rise of the ocean water level and threats to food security.
They will cause huge numbers of deaths, from babies and the retired dying from heat, to the victims of country-wide wildfires, storms and flooding.

TURN OFF YOUR COAL POWERED ELECTRICITY!


We have left it too late for any half arsed measures to stabilise climate change! There is no time left for changing from coal power to solar, we can't wait that long & the government will not do it anyway! You want to do something NOW? Then turn off your coal powered electricity to your home, because when climate change gets worse I think the grid will go down anyway!

Don’t Blame the Scientists, Blame the People!!! Climate Change.

Don’t Blame the Scientists, Blame the People!!!
I have lost count of the number of times climate change deniers have quoted past predictions saying that they never came true so climate change is bullshit. Scientists are not super human, they do the best they can with what they have to work with. No one can 100% second guess nature, nature is fickle, unreliable. How can a scientist tell if another iceberg just vanished, or another section of permafrost has been lost? How can they tell if a massive release of carbons suddenly erupts from previously frozen ground?
Every time another ice sheet melts, or more carbon is released, climate change accelerates. You can run as many simulations as you like, but it is still just guesswork based on the information you have at the time. Climate change is accelerating much faster than previously predicted, & we are running out of time to stabilise climate change at a temperature that can support life comfortably.  We are only two thirds of the way through spring here & already it is too hot outside. Imagine what summer is going to be like!!!

The Australian government is not going to stabilise climate change, it is corrupt, greedy, & selfish & it does not want to lose votes!!! Fossil fuel corporations are not going to stop mining, drilling & Fracking, climate change deniers are not going to change their environmentally damaging lifestyles, & the majority of Australians  are too apathetic, ignorant & gutless to take control of the situation. We have peaceful protesters that are not prepared to turn off the coal powered electricity to their homes, we have environmental organizations that lodge petitions, but do nothing else. They don’t protest on the streets, they just keep asking for more money to lodge more petitions!!!
If any serious demands for action are ever made, it will be after some major disaster has taken place, & by that time it will be too late. If you are serious about your children’s future happiness, if you are serious about saving a future for your grandchildren, then start prepping NOW! You will NOT be able to stabilise climate change, you will NOT be able to make any significant difference to climate change at all, but if you start prepping now, you may be able to save your family when climate change creates TEOTWAWKI.

Excessive rain fall expected in Qld & NSW !


Huge rainfall expected for the east coast in the next few days. If you live in an area prone to flooding, take precautions NOW! 

And here: https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/35548447/nsw-and-queensland-weather-months-worth-of-rain-to-pour-in-three-days/#page1
DO NOT try to drive through fast flowing waters at any depth. DO NOT attempt to drive through waters which are deeper than the wading depth of your vehicle. DO NOT let your kids play anywhere near flood waters. Check food supplies in your pantry & stock up NOW. Think about how you are going to boil water & cook food if you are flooded. Make sure you have plenty of safe drinking water on hand, flood waters may be polluted. Tie stuff down in your yard, these rains may be accompanied by strong winds.
Good luck everyone.
Keith.

The Final Countdown. Climate Change!!!


Time is fast running out to stop irreversible climate change, a group of global warming experts warns today. We have only 100 months to avoid disaster. Andrew Simms explains why we must act now - and where to begin.
