Santa Ana winds & the topology that intensifies them may be particular to LA, but we do have downslope winds & more heat in earth systems=more energy=bigger winds? LA is on fire.

I've been thinking about this. (Who wouldn't?) Is anywhere safe? Then some people want all trees cut down.

Will fires happen at the right time in the election cycle? Consensus after Morrison's ineptitude seemed to be Libs wd never recover, as if voters aren't fickle or don't have short memories

Wahn stole fire, fire will always be here and always was, we should focus on politically and ecologically viable solutions which, most immediately, should be systems and infrastructure for notification and evacuation, it is ridiculous that any human life, in our country, is lost to this

How will we cope? Look for someone to blame, pretend it's not happening, blame 'woke' gov leaders, say it's a hoax, say the climate has always changed and get the macho Tony Abbott to put the fires out.

How do we work towards a circular economy based on banning plastics that can't be recycled, mandatory recycling & a rapid & complete transition to resilience & non-fossil fuel energy. Even if we do that in Australia, the effect is minimal globally if we don't stop extracting & selling fossil fuels.

We're importing people from some of the most densely populated places in the world, easing their natural pressure (self-inflicted), and thereby allowing them to breed more.

And all of them are coming to Australia to increase their affluence, raising their consumption several fold.

What’s this got to do with climate induced extreme fore events? Nice topic shift.

The emissions saved by EVs have been erased by the extra 1.5 million people brought into the country by Labor since 2022, several fold.
That requires 1,000,000,000 kg of extra food annually.
1,500,000,000L of extra petrol burn, for every year into the future.
And that's just the top of the iceberg

So according to you, bringing millions of people into Australia who are increasing their personal consumption several fold, and producing both extra pollution and extra demand for fossil fuels, has nothing to do with climate change? 🤦

These are all excellent ideas that we need to work toward. Realistically it will take decades for countries around the world to align and synchronise this effort.

Meanwhile we're importing millions of people into Australia *today*. It's an act of utter stupidity, sheer madness

desfront.bsky.social•44 days ago

Australia imported 1.5 million people only since Labor got into power in 2022. That's 1,000,000,000 kg of extra food needed annually and 350,000,000,000L of extra fresh water needed every year. Millions of tonnes of extra pollution released into the environment annually.
