Next time you meet a climate change denier…

Tell them we had a bloody tornado in Sydney today.

My home and work fine, Mr B decided to take shelter during his lunchbreak in a shopping centre that had a roof collapse, but it was comparatively minor.

Seriously, I am going to bite the kneecaps off the next politician that tells me coal is good for humanity.

Back to writing! SO CLOSE to finishing the current thing! Alas, five important things queued behind it …

I just do not understand the deniers. It is so obvious that something is changing. I don't know the reason for it, but I can clearly see that it is happening. Every season now seems to break all known records for whatever weather system is happening. In the last year or so we've had the most amount of snow in recorded history, the most amount of rainfall in a day and for the month since 1880, the worst heat/fire season in history, the stongest hurricane ever recorded, the most tornados in a single season, the longest drought...etc. It just goes on and one. Every storm system is suddenly breaking all kinds of records. What is wrong with people that they still say there is no climate change?

I think there can only be three reasons:
* rampant ideologues who will hold to a political position against the science until the day the waters rise up to their noses. James Dellingpole is their King.
* profiteers who refuse to let go of their easy coal money. I hope they are all flattened by tornadoes.
* and the genuinely ignorant, who are often also scared. I feel sorry for them, as they often see the whole situation as being economic disaster for them, when it really should be an economic book if so many of our politicians weren't utter bastards who belong in the first two categories.

But yes, as you say, no-one who has their eyes open can really fail to see that things are well fucked up!
