The other flaws include the idea that we can naturally adapt our way out of a disappearing non-renewable resource and keep our.society functioning -.we add a few layers of blubber to stay warm, but the things we make (cars, houses, etc.) don't naturally adapt. We will have.to, to quote Mark Watley, science the shit out of the problem..which is what the green energy push Red derides is trying to do. A second is that nature cannot adapt.to depleted resources. More.fossil fuel will not evolve. Third is his certainty that current relative prices and demand will remain static, which is unlikely as fossil fuels get harder to extrchange and become scarcer and technology for renewable change.
That makes no sense.  We have and continue to adapt. And Science leads the way. Just
Look at what satellites have done for everyday life. More accurate weather forecasting alone has given millions advance warning of storms etc.

Always has. Some species do not but others do. Thatis adaptation.

Fracking is but one example that destroys that argument. We were supposed to run out of oil decades ago according to some scientists. Others said we would not be able to keep feeding our growing population.

A total misrepresentation. Again all you have to look at is fracking which has allowed the USA to reach energy independence and lead the world in production. Prices for every thing over the years has gone up but the world as a whole has never been richer.


Keep burnin fossil fuels because global warming is not a real Thing?

Earth has experienced cold periods (or "ice ages") and warm periods (interglacials") on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years.

Over the course of these cycles, global average temperatures warmed or cooled anywhere from 3 degrees to perhaps as much as 8 degrees Celsius.

We are the only species for whom fossil fuels are a depleting resource.   Which is the precise point of green renewable energy.  Green energy IS the adaptation.   By us,  as a species that seeks to thrive and keep the hot countries habitable.

Those natural shifts in temp happened over ten thousands of years.   This current situation is different.  Decades do not allow species to adapt.  Warming this fast makes it very hard for 7.6 billion people to prepare,  move inland, move north,  revamp agricultural systems,  create fresh water sources,  recover from hurricanes and floods and wildfires etc.

Red is in favor of any human misery a white guy can hypothetically profit from. That is all the science he needs.

Dooming your descendants to a life of perpetual disaster recovery is just an added plus for him.

However much he has failed personally, he can always cheer for bigger losers like Big Oil, Big Tobacco, private prisons, and payday lenders. It is how he achieves such a failed personality when he could simply try learning something before opening his ugly pie hole.

And I've been agreeing all the way along.

It is still horrifying.

Candace Owens says we should invade Australia:


Australia currently, make no mistake, is a tyrannical police state. Its  citizens are quite literally being imprisoned against their will. So when do we deploy?

Oh dear....someone tell the Marines in Darwin not to attack!

Candace seems like a nice lady, and obviously means well, wanting to invade and save bambu and the People from imprisonment.
Maybe she's been reading about and seeing on tv the riots in Melbourne, protests etc by unionists and anti-vaxxers there and in other states, and listening to those outraged about lockdowns.
Someone should inform her that the only people arrested and jailed have been those people who attacked police horses with bricks etc, assaulted staff in shops, and deliberately broke the Lockdown rules multiple times.

NSW came out of lockdown on 11 October, once the vaccination rate hit 70% of people double dosed. Fully vaccinated people only...allowed into restaurants, hairdressers, cafes, clubs, pubs etc.
Restrictions were further eased on 18 October once the double dosed rate hit 80%.
Travel from Sydney to the regions [country towns/areas] will be allowed on Nov 1st when the double vaccinated rate will hit 90%.

Melb residents can already travel to rural Victoria.

Lockdown = "stay at home" orders by govt "health advice" rules. Said rules advised to stae govts by the Health Minister, Chief Health Officer Doctor, and many health experts / learned professors.

Stay at home...people could leave home under strict conditions [so as not to spread Covid all over the cities, rural areas, remote areas, [incl Indigenous communities].
People could leave home to;

"Essentials"....

. Go to work
. Go to doctors/other medical
. Much work done from home, fines for businesses not allowing if if possible.
. Schools closed, home learning. Schools now open again from last Monday. Mask and vaccination rules apply to teachers.
. Go shopping for food/other essential items for the household.....within 5km of home, if possible [no going past 6 supermarkets to shop at your favourite one 10km away.]
Agreed to by the majority...for the greater good.

100,000 tests in NSW most days...people lined up in their cars for miles to get tested, begged to by the Premier and health officials.
. Exercise..no sunbaking at the beach or in parks, initially.  Was eventually allowed, as with social distancing no transmissions had occurred outdoors.
. The mall car parks were full everyday, every sunny day there were *millions* out and about exercising and food shopping...sun's up, surf's up.
Liquor stores always remained open.

NSW infection rate is now about 290 new cases every day.

No need to invade. "Freedom Day" was Oct 11.   Free to go to the Pub again!
It wasn't freedom from slavery and imprisonment.

Some LGA's [local govt areas] in Sydney had tighter restrictions than others, mounted police patrolling and curfews for a while.
Some people in them would not obey the health orders, and would not stay home, kept visiting friends and relatives, the virus spreading from home to home.

Troops, no guns, were on the streets, with cops, delivering food parcels to people in home quarantine, and assisting cops check on people who'd tested positive and who should've been at home were indeed at home. Some were not home. Big trouble for them.

If some people/a person living in an apartment building tested positive, the whole building was put in lockdown, no one in or out, until who was who and what was what with the virus was established. Food brought to everyone in the building.

Think Candace got the wrong idea of the "Lockdowns".
