Not really DC... if I don't use it, the old chestnut about such occurrences being cyclical events will be thrown around.

please yourself, but then you will just be accused of being excessively alarmist like flannery

Haha so by your own reasoning you need to use hyperbole, otherwise, it could be seen as just cyclical.

Have a look at yourself.

I'm guessing comprehension wasn't your strong suite when you studied English Wrecker?

Explain to me which part i got wrong? It is pretty clear you condone hyperbole to make a point on climate change.

I condone it as a means of leaving the likes of yourself less wriggle room with that ridiculous "cyclical event" argument.  Perhaps you might want to concentrate on the content of the post (hyperbole aside, if you like) that DC was referring to?

Perhaps... but I'll rest easy in the knowledge that it is only by amateurs like Wrecker who will be clutching that particular straw... as he did the moment he saw your post :lol:  Wrecker doesn't seem to have too many ideas of his own.

Hear hear. Then there's the fence sitting snipers like Daisy, the professional Bolt like puppets like Pro Dee, then there's the demented and deranged racist lunatics like Biffen who at least has the redeeming feature of irony and a sense of humour.

Oi Weh, I get so sick of right wing fringe lunatics who believe and propagate the bulls**t that Rudolph and his cronies propagate, not to mention the likes of Uncle Sam in his many disguises, the utter fascist, racist nonsense that ALWAYS comes out of British  mouthpieces,  examples, Thatcher, Churchill, Blair - they're all the same, criminal serial murderers.

Clutching at straws? You just admitted you need to use hyperbole in the climate debate, otherwise, everyone will realise it is just cyclical. Nothing epitomises the climate alarmist industry more.

What's more in post #647 in this thread you question why predicting a climate change prior to it happening is important. To spell it out for you global warming / climate change is a theory. Anything that was not predicted does not fit the theory.

I wish I put you on ignore like Pro Dee did. 

You are incapable of forming a logical argument and are everything you despise but just can't see it.

Am so. You just refuse to be enlightened. You are very recalcitrant, Wrecker.

I did explain what I meant by my response to DC that you jumped on (as was to be expected), so which part of "I condone it as a means of leaving the likes of yourself less wriggle room with that ridiculous "cyclical event" argument." didn't you understand Wrecker?  As I said, comprehension doesn't seem to be one of your strengths.

Hardtack- it would be much easier for you to just admit you were wrong.

I am very happy to argue this over and over again.

You have exaggerated or in your words used "hyperbole" to misrepresent weather as climate change.

I would be happy to admit it IF I was wrong. However, your lack of comprehension skills are evidenced by the fact that you seem to think my words are used to misrepresent climate change when it's patently obvious they are not... would you care to explain exactly how my words misrepresent climate change?

Your words don't misrepresent climate change they epitomise the whole industry.

Your words, not mine:  "You have exaggerated or in your words used "hyperbole" to misrepresent weather as climate change.".

So that was just hyperbole then?

Just look at the bold where you quote me. You misrepresent weather as climate change.

Semantics...where have I misrepresented weather as climate change? If you call the bleaching of the reef or the collapsing of glaciers to an extent never seen before weather, then you may have a fair point... but I'd like to see empirical evidence to support that.

How dare you say that? Andrew Bolt writes for the Hun. And his best mates, that Devine chick, Greg Sheridan, Gerard Henderson and Piers Ackermann write for Murdoch's sister/brother publications. And we know they always tell THE TRUTH.

Yeah, you're right - not worth trying to get through the paywall - Mundine's a Liberal Party stooge - I liked the quote from his second ex-wife: "He sold out his people and his family."  Onto his third now. Real poster boy for those good old conservative family values.

Precisely. Uncle Tom of the first order.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
