What will happen if I ignore anthropogenic global warming & climate change?

Anthropogenic global warming & climate change are accelerating much faster than previously predicted, & the world is still burning fossil fuels. Scientists have predicted that global warming combined with the destruction of wildlife habitats is very likely going to cause more frequent & more sever Pandemics.

It is now too late to stop anthropogenic global warming, & with the continued burning of fossil fuels, it is highly likely that society could collapse within the next 50 years. If this happens, then we will experience teotwawki, & after that, possibly the beginning of our extinction period.

When society collapses, that will be the end of payed employment, the end of our national economy, for many, it will mean the end of life itself. In the cities there will be no food, no drinking water, no sewage, no electricity, & no security. Gangs will form; there will be a massive rise in crime with looting, home invasions, rape & murder. There is also likely to be cannibalism, as the only food will be human flesh.

Many people will obviously be trying to get out of the city, but unless they have the appropriate survival skills & the right sustainable equipment & tools, they are not likely to survive for very long in the bush.

Between now & when society collapses, life for many is going to change. People will die in heatwaves & other disasters & of course the further Pandemics that are coming from the destruction of wildlife habitats which will put us in closer contact with other species of animals.  I know very little about the national economy, but I assume this will collapse with further disasters & Pandemics.

Is there any chance we can avoid the extinction of the human race?

If a majority of people were to rise up before the end of 2020 & sack our present corrupt to the core government & introduce a new non corrupt governing system, then we could stop the burning of fossil fuels & the destruction of our native forests & this may allow us to avoid our extinction. But bear in mind this is a global problem, one country alone cannot have much of an impact on global warming, but as Australia exports more coal than any other country in the world, we could make a significant difference to our climate.

Our only other chance of survival is if the collapse of society comes soon. If this stops the burning of fossil fuels, then those who have prepared (preppers) may stand a chance of surviving. Frankly, given that Australians are in general very apathetic, & given that the majority of people living in the cities are not willing to change their environmentally damaging lifestyles, I can’t see a majority of people doing anything to try & save humanity.

What can we do?

If you can, move out of the city as soon as possible & live off grid. Start preparing for what is coming. I think as things start to get bad in the cities, climate change protests will turn violent. Hangers on will take advantage of the situation & start a wave of destruction & looting. Living off grid you will need to be able to protect your gardens, your homes & your families. To do this you will need firearms. Raiders will have firearms, so you will have no choice but to be armed yourselves. The alternative is just not worth thinking about!

Stopping Global Warming, avoiding a worldwide mass extinction of all life on earth!

Stopping Global Warming, avoiding a worldwide mass extinction of all life on earth!

So what is it these protesters want? They are asking the government to act on global warming climate change, to stabilise it, to stop it before it goes any further. But in order to do this, the government would have to shut down all coal powered electricity generators, they would have to stop the destruction ( burning, clearing, logging) of all native forests & woodlands, & they would have to ban the further use of all motor vehicles excepting those for essential services. Are the people really prepared for this? Do they really expect the government to do this?

If we do not stop burning fossil fuels completely NOW, & stop destroying our native forests & woodlands, then Australia is going to become uninhabitable, global warming will cause teotwawki, & after that quite possibly a mass extinction of humankind! Yes this will cause chaos in the cities, UNLESS, the government fast tracks solar power to the electricity grid; this can be done, we have the technology, we have the solar panels, & we have the massive battery storage facilities required.

But solar power is not a magic wand; solar power cannot stop global warming if we are going to continue to burn fossil fuels, if we are going to continue to use coal powered electricity, & if we continue to use combustion engine vehicles.

Society needs to change, & it needs to change now. We do not have enough time left for reductions, for cut backs, for promises of what we are going to do by the year 2021-2022-2023 etc etc. We have literally run out of time, we have left it too late to act. Ten years ago we could have started a progressive program to change our society, to change the way we work & live. Ten years ago we could have started working on solar & wind power for the grid. But this was not done. The government was totally focused on the economy, focused on keeping corporatism on side, focused on attracting votes, & the general public kept on demanding more & more. More jobs, higher wages, more housing, lower taxes, better health services; all of these wants & needs were totally justified, but amongst the clambering for a perceived higher standard of living, the majority of people forgot about the cost to our environment, they forgot that humans are just another species of animal that relies on the earth’s environment to keep us alive!

Humans have polluted the earth, contaminated the natural environment. We have built cities that shut out the natural environment & the people in those cities have lost contact with nature. Until these present bushfires filled these cities with smoke, they had completely forgotten about the world outside of their city. They have become totally dependent on modern technology, & if that technology should now come to an end through global warming, then society will collapse, & the people will die! It is as simple as that. You now have to choose between life or death. Life in a changed society that may not be to your liking, or life living a “Stone Age” lifestyle in a world that is coming to an end. More heat, more storms, more droughts & perhaps more floods. In some places more intense cold, because that is what climate change is doing, it is creating more extreme weather conditions worldwide.

Australia is going to become uninhabitable if we do not stop global warming NOW, & with global warming affecting the whole of our world, there may be no place for us to migrate to. Think about that, but don’t take too long, we are fast running out of time!

Australian government Now Controlling & Ruling the People!!!

'Absurd' bail conditions prevent Extinction Rebellion protesters 'going near' other members.

Civil liberties groups say bail conditions imposed on Sydney climate change activists are usually reserved for bikie gang members.

We are skating on thin ice here people, we have already seen many of our civil liberties revoked, our freedoms taken from us. We have senseless firearms restrictions & gun confiscations. This is the first sign of a government who is seeking to control & overpower the people!!!

What Do You Think Will Happen?

What Do You Think Will Happen?

What do you think will happen as climate change gets worse? It is perfectly obvious to me that no one is going to try & stabilise climate change.  There is too much money being made by our government from the mining, drilling, fracking, selling & burning of fossil fuels, so stopping the use of these fossil fuels is not going to happen.

Climate change is accelerating much faster than previously predicted, so planning on reducing the use of fossil fuels within the next 20 years I think will be useless. In Siberia the global warming temperature is already past the safe mark, permafrost is melting, has melted! The ground has become unstable, carbon is being released into the atmosphere, & there is a risk of long buried pathogens & viruses emerging from the ground!

Here in Australia the temperatures are summer high in spring! The trees in my forest are dying, we are low on water. There was no snow this past winter, & very little rain. We are in drought conditions here & there are bushfires all around us.

Australian farmers are already experiencing crop failures & stock losses; this must inevitably lead to food shortages. If the heat of summer is such that city people are going to be reliant on air conditioning, then what are the chances of black outs?  I could be wrong, but I think we are running out of time. Time, what am I saying, no matter how much time we had, the government is NOT going to replace coal powered electricity with solar power, & they are not going to stop the clearing & logging of native forests. Bushfires are destroying thousands of acres of bush land every day.

What do you think is going to happen? Will a majority of people say “enough is enough” in time & take control of this situation? Will the present peaceful street protests turn violent through frustration & anger? If climate change causes TEOTWAWKI, will the military be called in to take control of the cities? Or will the government bailout & head for their doomsday bunkers?

The Hunger Games. Could it happen?

Maintain that lifestyle, don't rock the boat. Things are not perfect, but hey, they could be worse.

The Hunger Games. Could It Happen?!

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but in Australia right now we are seeing a lot of stuff going down that does not look good. In the cities people seem to be isolated from what is going down in the country areas; the banks taking farm land, mining companies taking farm land, now the government its self is seizing farm land because of a deal it has made with a foreign country to train its military troops. There are millions of dollars involved in this deal, but I doubt that the average Australian citizen will gain any benefit from this & over 70 farming families are about to lose their homes & livelyhood.

We have lost so much freedom & so many of our rights in the name of terrorism. The government uses the perceived threat of terrorism to pass more & more legislation that controls our lives. Rates rises on land means that some people can no longer afford to pay rates, so they are evicted & their land & house is sold. These people are now forced to live in the towns or cities & once again are now dependent on the government & the services they supply. People are being taxed for using their own water supplies & there has been talk of taxing people who live off grid & supply their own electricity!

Country people receive no backing from people living in the cities, this I realise is a broad statement, & I have no doubt that there are some city dwellers that do care, but on the whole the city is not where you will find rebels, it is a place where you will find people that do not want to rock the boat; they like conformity, they like order. They are content to bury their heads in the sand in order to maintain their present lifestyle. They are insulated from the troubles of the world & are content so long as they are making money & live a comfortable lifestyle.

Can you see where I am going here? Have you seen the Hunger Games? Think about the number of times country people have gone to the city to protest at the treatment they are receiving from the government, do you ever recall seeing city people coming out to back these protests? I don’t. Right now the Australian government is giving money to the Indonesian government; the Indonesian government are committing genocide in West Papua. Women are raped & murdered, children are murdered & of course the men are also being killed. These West Papuans were Australia’s allies in WW2, helping our diggers survive, carrying our wounded to safety. Now our government is sanctioning their genocide! Does this sound like a caring & benevolent government? They are doing this for greed, money & power. They do not care who has to suffer for them to get what they want. What makes you think that they care any more for you? My Father was a great believer in keeping your head down & looking after number one. Don’t draw attention to yourself; don’t get involved in other people’s problems. There is a great deal in favour of this attitude when it comes to survival, but what happens when you are those other people? What happens when after keeping your head down you suddenly realise that you have been manipulated. Whilst you were keeping your head down & thinking this will keep me safe, the government has usurped your freedoms & your rights as a citizen.

We in the country, & those like us in the cities, do not have the backing of the majority. We alone can’t stop this corrupt government machine from rolling right over us. Our farms are disappearing, & with them our home grown food supplies! Our countryside is being polluted by mining & big corrupt corporations are polluting our environment. Recently a Japanese fishing vessel was caught poaching in one of our reserves, will they go to prison? Unlikely, will their ship be confiscated? Unlikely. Yet our government is continuing to make more & more restrictive legislation on our freedoms & these laws if we rebel against them will make us criminals. The city people will not help us; the government are right now our biggest enemy. Whilst our politicians grow wealthy we find that we can no longer retire at age 60, we are slaves to the system & alone there is nothing we can do about it. We are expected to work in the future until we are 70, that is if we live that long. They don’t have to pay a pension to dead people. Now I hear that even our pensions are under threat, I thought that money was being extracted from our earnings all these years to pay for our pension entitlements, now I hear that the government has decided to keep some of that money for themselves!

I wish I had answers for you, but I don’t. My greatest fear is that this government & this whole corrupt system will eventually take more from us than we can bear. I guess that is exactly what has already happened with the farmers that have committed suicide. Will the police & military continue to do the government’s bidding even when they know it is wrong? Yes I think they will. That is what they are trained to do. All this has happened over time with such stealth that no one seems to have realised what was happening, & I don’t think it will stop there. I don’t like the way things are going in this country & none of it bodes well for our future. I think we will lose more of our rights, our freedom has already gone. We will be forced to pay more & earn less, our government is NOT leading, it is RULING, we have a dictator government. Gone are the referendums in the main, gone are our rights to protest. Gone are our rights to protect ourselves & our families by any means we think necessary. Gone are our rights to privacy as the police are now legally allowed to invade our homes at any time without a warrant & arrest the occupants. We are all seen as being guilty until proven innocent.

My hope is that one day the majority will wake up & sack our government & institute a new fairer government system where the people have a voice. Right now we are between a rock & a hard place, no matter who we vote for, we can’t win. Be very aware of further firearms legislation that will further control the ownership of firearms. Confiscation of all firearms from law abiding citizens will be a sign that the end is near. Already present gun control measures have made it difficult if not impossible to own certain firearms, that has made us vulnerable against criminals & government forces!

Take care everyone.

SANTOS Mining Company Australia Sponsoring Australian Police Service !!!

NRMA is one thing, SANTOS is completely another!!! This is not on. If SANTOS steps over the line and becomes a hazard to the public, who do you think the Police Department is going to back?

The Police service is there to serve the public. It is not suppose to favour industry. I don't like this one little bit.
