We all contribute to the problem sure.
Take for example data storage. Think back on all the shite you’ve written online in the past 20 years. Think of all the maintainance that’s needed to retain that shite. That shite has to be regularly backed up, the server has to be cooled etc. Think of all the kwh’s of dirty power thats been used… Christ.
I’d suggest more sustainable posting in, 2020 and into the future. Posts need to be direct, to the point, relevant and factual. Cc @Rocko
+1. Lads quoting full posts instead of simply clicking on the post reply arrow is a real bugbear of mine.
How many people now living in lovely houses around Oz that are essentially unsalable due to the fire risk? Like living on a flood plain…will it be possible to get property insurance on an ongoing basis?
Horrendous situation pal. Fingers crossed for you
Mate, this is about loss of life on a massive scale, don’t be such a fucking cunt
He’s made an ad. A fucking ad
Set to music like. Jesus.
What were local temps today?
Fitzys seems quite high
We got to 43. Penrith in western Sydney has a new record high of 48.9 degrees.
Fuck… Nearly 50 degrees… and this is just the beginning of fire season?
Good fuck @Fitzy it’s unbelievable. It’s mad how people will ignore even discussing the causes because it’s so unpalatable. Was chatting to Mrs J’s sister last night. They moved home in August after about 13 years. They’re deeply disturbed by it.
33 at Mahon Rock Pool just north of my beloved Maroubra beach.
Jesus Christ on a bike. Is there no end to this mind numbing stupidity.
If Australia shut down all its coal mines and stopped exporting it would make no difference to global emissions or climate change. There is enough coal elsewhere on the planet to satisfy consumption for 100 years. Australia produces 500 million tons of coal a year and consumes (burns) 40 million tons. CHINA alone produces 3.5 billion tons a year and burns 2 billion tons.
Unless Greta or someone can convince China, India, the US and every other populated country to stop mining and more importantly burning coal, this is a pissing in the wind argument.
Genuinely hope you stay safe @Fitzy horrible situation to be in.
Each country has its own responsibility and part to play. 1 by 1.
We have solar power for heating and i’ve switched to electric car … not ideal, but it’s a start.
