maybe he was given a choice: get right on some other issues, like this one, or you get Epsteined.
Cynic that I am, I don't believe these announcements have anything to do with the state of the earth's climate, but are used for network ratings, social media clicks and as an excuse for more government funding that will do absolutely nothing other than to line the pockets of the alarmists.Currently a significant part of Australia has temperatures in the mid 40's Celsius. Climate change alarmists are out in force, despite the fact most of the temperature announcements are followed by the words "highest since....", not "highest on record" or "highest ever".
That's why I pointed out that the fact the temperatures are highest since.... shows there have been higher temperatures in the past, yet the climate change alarmists use the current high temps. as evidence of global warming. II isn't actually the media using these temps to push the climate change agenda, its the commenters on articles and the "influencers". Also the media I don't think are doing it for ratings. In this case I think the media are by and large creating these articles to let people know that these extremely high temps (and associated fire danger) are coming so they can be prepared. There are currently several major bushfires burning in the very areas that are getting these extreme temperatures that are going to be made more intense and potentially spread over a larger area due to the weather conditions.Cynic that I am, I don't believe these announcements have anything to do with the state of the earth's climate, but are used for network ratings, social media clicks and as an excuse for more government funding that will do absolutely nothing other than to line the pockets of the alarmists.
