The environmental blog - For Tad - Eels Blogs

Tad , I promised you my thoughts on this topic and here I am . Kids in bed , mrs at work and I have my favourite Frosty Fruit the new grapefruit in one hand and am ready to go .So , do I believe global warming / climate change is a thing ? No , well yeah maybe but not to the extent the alarmists would like us to believe . I believe the globe we inhabit is capable and more than likely going through change . After all the outside of it is a living organism isn't it ? Like anything living it adapts , changes , evolves.Now I'm not even going to look at reaserch tonight , I'm just going to give you my thoughts which leaves me vulnerable to correction and I've purposely come in with this approach to give you the opportunity to give your opinion without me automatically referring to data .Now just because we have a hot day in a month that's traditionally colder doesn't lead me to believe the world as we know it is telling us we are burning too much fossil fuel and must build wind farms , to me wind farms are a hoax . How many fossil fuel factories does it take to make one wind turbine ? My knowledge is lots and lots and by the time said wind turbine is decommissioned it hasn't even generated enough power to have covered the coal power it took to make it ?I've also been told that it would take thousands of them to power one small town ?Solar , I like solar , I've set my holiday van up with solar and run almost everything off it other than my aircon . We have two TVs , PlayStation, lighting ( inside and out ) media box and a fullsize 12 volt fridge / freezer . We could go 4 days of darkness . But again , at about 3 grand to set up the panels , inverter batteries etc I'm not sure it's viable for a full time house to be set up with 240volt without investing tens of thousands .So back to the environment.... we need to stop clearing land because hey , without trees we don't breath . Why do we keep clearing trees ? Because we need houses and infrastructure. Why do,we need these ? Because our population is growing . I believe we need to slow that part down firstly . Maybe this is why no matter how much money we fundraise they'll never give us a cure for cancer ( but that's another conspiracy theory I don't fully buy into and is a debate for another time ) , immigration in my eyes is an issue .Ultimately I believe that the environment is suffering a very very very very small tiny little bit . And it's probably a problem for my children's children's children's children , by then who knows what they'll have invented to counter the problem . Right here right now , we are spending waaay too much time and money trying to fix shit that isn't there . Bottles recycling taxes , wind farms , water desalination plants , all the garbage that's driving up my power bills throwing money at money trying to appease the greenies .Why haven't the Greenies flagged the fact that each and every single light post in my street is running outdated lighting 12 hours a day ? No they'd rather see recreational fisherman locked out of fishing spots all whilst we sell off fishing licences to commercial fisherman rapeing my local lake .Tad , it's all arse about face , mate do you ever take note of Sarah Hanson Young ? I mean really evaluate what she's saying ? She's loony toones mate , she has no sense of reality at all . How can guys like me ever take The Greens and their goals seriously with people like her in power . Tad , I am smarter than her and so is 99% of the tax paying country . You're asking guys like me to look at things from another perspective , do me one favour please , just leave your Greenie mind for 30'seconds next time she's speaking and really think about if she knows better .Tad I have extensive experience with environmentalists, I have some immediate family who are hard extreme greens , I've spent my whole childhood holidaying on their property ( Grunts knows where right down to the address and house ) they're whacko , these days they've settled a little but back in the day they'd have been protesting outside any building that housed any type of business they felt was destroying the environment. Mind you they'd drive there in their Landcruiser and would have electricity in their house etc , these days we don't talk much ( well haven't since i supported Hanson on my Facebook ) they just think I'm a racist bigot etc etc etc . So you may be able to understand some of my contempt for the Greens as in my opinion a Greens voter can not be reasoned with .Mate I'm conscious of the environment and climate I just don't believe it's dying , changing yes , changing for the worse ? No , the seasons are different I'll agree , but this year in January we had a heat wave and all the typical voices were screaming drought , in March it rained for 4 weeks straight .Now I've got sore fingers and my Frosty Fruit has long gone . I'm getting another one and will save my fingers for the inevitable hundreds of replys you and I are about to endure .

"We're more aligned now. And Ryles' mindset might just help R&R. Guys like Williams who we liked for years, the Walkers, TDS or Reed, who might not have got a look in under BA, meet what Ryles is after."

"The Pezet deal is about short-term and longer-term goals. Hopgood & Iongi became first graders who hit the ground running after 3-4 seasons in reggies. Lorenzo doesn't even have a full season (8 games in reggies). You don’t grow breasts overnight.…"

"It would be nice to land a good player, not sure he is worth the amount he will get, actually I'm pretty sure he isn't, but most times you have to pay overs to attract players from their current club.
The eels are really going to have to nail their…"

  We've lost animals ? Do we know where they've gone ? Maybe they're hiding ?
  
  Are you talking about people have eaten bud ? Human consumption has nothing to do with climate change Dave . Maybe we need to look at capping the amount of children people can have and supplying contraception free of charge to those who'd like it ? I'd sterilise those in poverty stricken countries .
  
  As for the plankton what's causing that ? Do you have the info ?

  A lot of animal extinction can be attributed to cutting down of forests, animal hunting and other things like over fishing certain types of fish, and destroying coral life in the process. Not necessarily due to climate change, I'd say more so due to man kind.
Wizardssleeves official receipts September 22, 2017 at 12:02am

Yeah I was trying to work out what link Davo was drawing between human over consumption and climate change . Pretty sure I covered over population in my thread .

But Daves right it must all be because it's gunna be hot on Saturday .......
