This is the ABC off RNZ…
Heatwave in southern states one of the most intense on record as Queensland braces for cyclone
…no where do they talk about climate change.
This is the ABC off RNZ FFS!
The disconnect between news stories on the extreme weather events we are seeing and their connection with the global warming future we are locked into thanks to human pollution continuing the warm the planet beyond tipping points that once breached can’t return from – is a chasm.
The reality vs our weaponised apathy.
The distance between what is actually happening in an age of consequences vs deliberate ignorance.
Human pollution since the steam age has spiralled global temperatures beyond points that the biosphere can come back from.
We are seeing the reality of that in real time.
In 1980, the time between billion dollar climate destruction events was 3 months.
It’s now 18 days.
There is a point where the next destructive weather event strikes before you can rebuild from the last one.
We are meeting an Age of Consequences with a culture of wilful blindness.
These heatwaves are going to become the normal background of an ever warming planet, Climate Change is here and now, the ramifications of our denial only exacerbates the damage.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Here’s the ‘no gaslighting’ Ai answer to your headline:
“Heatwaves are a natural weather phenomenon, but the extreme heat events experienced today are a clear symptom of global warming, intensified by human activity.”
My question is what are you doing about it? And your fellow climate warriors as well as your friends in the Green Party? Because your article has a distinct accusatory tone towards ‘climate change deniers’. So it would be really good to know how you folks lead by example so we can take instructions. For example, has every climate warrior given up their cars? Do you all have solar panels on your roof? Have all of you stopped being hyper consumers? Have all of you stopped flying around the globe?
Good Heavens Martyn! Why are we not discussing real issues here? Like who will be the next All Blacks coach? What are house prices doing? Who is the latest celebrity and are they he/she or something else?
People generally only listen or watch things that they want to hear or see and broadcasters need revenue to stay in business so the advertisers have influence on what is presented also. That’s my explanation for why climate change will be ignored until life starts becoming very difficult and then some BS excuse will be used to blame something else for the problem.
