cool your jets everybody, time for a sing song!
Millions of dollars in donations are coming out of the cities. Just sayin'I interact with people from ranging economic & social backgrounds, across the entire city in both work & personal life.
I know what the underlying city-centric feelings are.
Sydney celebrated with fireworks FFS. I cannot think of a single person I talked to who thought it was a ridiculous notion. Well, one person. One. And it wasn't even my wife!
$25m and counting on just one request. even coles and woolworths have sent off semi trailers full of trinkets - every account i have read from people on the ground has been of over whelming support from the wider community. quite frankly, people give a shit.Millions of dollars in donations are coming out of the cities. Just sayin'
The money is coming from the people, as far as I know. Megacorps will let us know when theyJust heard blue sky mining. Really nails the attitude
Right, so you personify the standard for political and social survey methodology in the greater Sydney region.I interact with people from ranging economic & social backgrounds, across the entire city in both work & personal life.

Insert almost any BR song.cool your jets everybody, time for a sing song!
My point is that people in cities think differently to people in country regions. They are distanced from the food supply chain & generally don't associate with the natural world with the same affinity. I look for signs that this is not true but fail to find any broad evidence.Right, so you personify the standard for political and social survey methodology in the greater Sydney region.
Get off your horse, the altitude sickness is impacting your judgement
So why do you need to hear your view poor from others?Busy office this morning, first day back for most.
Lots of "how were your holidays?" conversations - not one person I overhead discussed the fire situation. The only sympathy I heard was for one lass who worked through the break & had no time off.

isn't that part of the problem. Not talking about important things for fear of offending someone, not everyone, just someone. These fires are the first proper big warming of the impact of climate change. The fire chiefs (I think it was the group scumMO refused to meat with) have admitted that the ferocity of the fires has been caused by global warming (not lack of back burning etc). But once they've been put out people will forget and go back to their business as usual, complaining about the insurance premium increases and cost of produce rising because of the fires.So why do you need to hear your view poor from others?
It could be that this emergency has become so politicised that people are avoiding talking about it in case they offend.
Yeah, whatever...isn't that part of the problem. Not talking about important things for fear of offending someone, not everyone, just someone.

Donating money whilst generous will do not a fucking thing about stopping this from happening in the future. Slacktivism is now such an important part of society, people will tell anyone who will listen how they "did their part" and donated because it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside without actually doing something.
This need to be politicised every day until change is made. if the people make global warming a political issue then either the current party will be forced to make meaningful change or the opposition party can use it as a platform to win the next election.
you sound like a bloke who thinks all bicycles should be registered. With so much information publicly available how can anyone actually believe any of this bullshit?Yeah, whatever...
So when we hear the majority of fires are lit by firebugs. blame it on climate change.
Lack of backburning thanks to stupid green policies, lets just blame climate change.
Remember, even if Australia goes back to the stone age, with ZERO carbon emmisions, there would be NO effect to the temperature.
