Brrr, it's too cold...!
Friday, January 1, 2010 by Fuzzy Logic | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok, I know we don't have weather as cold as other places in the world, but I'm not used to having my eyeballs frozen.
For this time of year, we would expect Dec Max Min of 8°/3° and Jan of 7°/2°, with the occasional mild spell and occasional cold spell.
It has been around 0° for the last two weeks! This is the forcast for the next week:
I want to go somewhere warm, enough is enough

The thing is, fuzzy, I'm not disputing the fact that mankind needs to pollute less and cut down far fewer forests/trees. What I am saying, however, is that a few individuals have devised a way to gouge even more hard earned cash from the paying public, simply by exploiting its fears.
As for proof, well I don't need to post any... and even if I did, somebody would post graphs/charts to the contrary... because, at the end of the day, science is subjective and in part theory, which often times will have several arguments to dispute who's ever findings.
The thing is, we all know that corporations seek to profit... well they never seek NOT to, do they; we all know about the subterranean earthquakes in the Pacific causing sea levels to rise; we all know that hotter weather makes certain areas more prone to bushfires... and we also know that these and other extreme conditions have historically happened throughout the centuries. What is happening now is that these powerful/influential individuals have weighed all this up and see an opportinity to profit from it.
My (and millions of other Aussies) paying 120% to 130% more for our electricity over just 4 years is not going to make one iota of difference to the greater scheme of things regarding global warming. No, this is more about increasing profit margins than producing 'clean' energy... I'll bet my balls on it. So no, we don't need to be paying the large corporations even more to behave appropriately... but rather that large corporations are environmentally responsible by being far less greedy and wasting far fewer resources.

And that's the truth too, Fuzzy. There'll always be someone to make a mint off a disaster.

26c where I am today... would be nicer around 21 -22c, though.

Hot and windy here, the sun is red and smoke is everywhere.
Fire season has started.
