In the winter, his brother's letters were filled with complaints about the cold. <br /><br />My colleague would ask me, "Is it as cold as when I go into the freezer to get ice?" It was difficult to explain that on a really cold day the freezer was warmer. <br />jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-87932079665726160932017-07-03T21:36:18.915+10:002017-07-03T21:36:18.915+10:00With our first frost that actually iced the windsc...With our first frost that actually iced the windscreen occurring only in the last week or so, there were a few conservatives around saying "so much for global warming". They seem entirely oblivious that 30 years ago there's have been a dozen or so such frosts by now, and likely a few inches of snow.<br /><br />And in the same vein, the good burgers of Moree are really not sure that global warming is a Thing, especially if it's human-caused:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2016/s4695675.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2016/s4695675.htm</a><br /><br />I was a bit disturbed by the ABC's apparent promotion of scepticism at the beginning of the piece, but they finally brought in the balance at the end. The psychologist interviewed spoke about the residents' denial of potentially serious repercussions, which is fair enough as an ætiology, but the explanation could probably have benefitted from a consideration of the rural conservatives' reluctance to break from their traditionally-held views, and in the deep (and even not-so-deep) Outback it's not <i>de rigueur</i> to recant from the long-held view that climate change is a leftie NWO scam. Many of these people will deny the human cause for as long as they can, and when the human-caused extremes eventuate that lay waste to their rural economies they'll be screaming from the roof-tops that there should have been action decades ago.<br /><br />As will their compatriots in the suburbs and the harbour-side mansions...Bernard J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16299073166371273808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-66401782411544575642017-07-03T14:28:05.128+10:002017-07-03T14:28:05.128+10:00Oops.
