Simpler Times

Remember back at the end of last year & the beginning of this year, when much of south-eastern Australia was on fire? Anyone??

Yes - before the Harry & Meghan Royal Family 'scandal', before Black Lives Matter (though they certainly did at the time... & always have), before Trump said... actually, he's said so many controversial & awful things, I can't remember which ones were said & done at the time... & before the Plague Pandemic

Now that the fires are out, there's a Royal Commission of Enquiry underway & the post-mortems of the blazes are being compiled... Our ABC has produced a report into the largest of the Summer fires - known as the Gospers Mountain fire, which burned over 1,000,000 hectares, destroyed over 100 houses & killed not only some of our firefighters, but god only knows how many animals

This report is essential reading... & viewing if you'd like to know how fires like this start & how difficult it was to fight it

This is also for all the armchair experts & climate-change sceptics who said the fires must have been deliberately lit... & for one guy who reckoned he was a lightning expert because he lives in Florida "the lightning capital of the world..." & assured me dry lightning doesn't exist

So you have a seasonal choice of smoke or sinkholes?

Yep... you can go up in flames, or down into the earth...

The armchair experts are simply anti-climate change bots to fight the same way as some fight for flat earth and only differences are someone made very good profit by changing climate and someone doing the same try to replace climate change technology like traveling by dirty cars & aviation...
