Own Your Choices

The east coast of Australia floods. NSW goes under water in a severe weather event. (Oh my, the weather is changing, what could be causing it? seriously?)

At some point the people who live in these areas (Fire prone, flood prone areas, apparently drought prone) have to own their political choices. (climate change is real?) Did they vote for Morrison's tax cuts, or did they vote for a government who will enact climate change policies?

Did they vote for Liberal Party climate change denials, or did they vote for a party who put a price on carbon?

Did they vote for the planet destroying, coal loving National Party, that stated categorically they don’t give a rat’s arse about 2050, or did they vote for clean renewable energy?

But, it is pretty simple really. (Well, maybe not simple)

As they watch their properties destroyed they can be happy in the fact that they (allegedly) pay less tax under a conservative government, which has a history of telling them climate change isn’t to blame.

But… increasingly unstable weather? Increased extreme weather events? Fires, floods, droughts, storms, and other natural disasters, which are predicted, linked to rising global temperatures. Fires have burned large swathes of Australia, the Amazon and the US – which also suffered unprecedented flooding. 

Perhaps, those scientists are right?

I can tell you one thing, it is going to be a shit show once we get to critically endangered and we have to do everything possible to save ourselves. There is a great chance that we won’t, actually, survive that stage. No we won’t, not a chance. Look at the conspiracy theorists, the reality deniers, the antivaxxers and the assorted loons when it came to fighting a pandemic.

So, essentially, this is it, this is the end. We are now the last of the human race and we don’t even realise it. That is because no government in the world is taking tackling climate change seriously, so we are going to get to critically endangered, a stage we are not going to survive, because we will destroy ourselves in the process.

Is that what the truth is now?
