@ajsadauskas @jaystephens Ta, interesting. I vaguely recall some of that, but your helpful toot defo provided more info than i knew.

I think something like this is why i feel, & tbh remain, so archly cynical... If Straya, & frankly the rest of the world, was genuinely honestly doing all the serious shit needed NOW to decarbonise & ameliorate, then seeking engineering solutions in flood zones like this would be ok. Knowing though that we & most others are totes NOT seriously addressing the crisis, fuels [boom tish] my severe pessimism, coz eg, engineering designs need engineering assumptions [in this case including expected heights & frequency of floods]. Such assumptions necessarily must be predicated on a certain "steady state" belief [plus safety margins thrown in]. That's all fine, IF we had reason to trust such assumptions. I do NOT trust them, simply coz there IS no steady state; humans are continuing to add more & more CO2 & CH4 to Gaia's atmosphere, thus more & more raising the enthalpy, ergo the heating energy, ergo... yada yada.

social.chinwag.org/@sbs_bot/11 So many online & other media reports of all the damage & dislocation caused by #TCAlfred, even though the actual cyclonic aspect, wrt sheer wind speeds, had greatly diminished by the time of the eventual landfall.

Ergo, can we grasp the immensity of the damage & carnage that will result, next time the luck runs the other way, & direct hits on high-population centres arises with rating still at 2, 3... or higher?

Do we keep sticking our heads in the sand & denying / ignoring all this, so that we can continue being climate criminals??

social.chinwag.org/@abc_bot/11 I'm so utterly disinterested in this. I shan't even bother trying to watch His Maj Antony Green's wizardry on Aunty tonight. Whilst tis obvs that Lab will win again, i feel no positive passion at all about that. WA is totes state-captured by the abominable gas industry, & WA Lab have zero ethical superiority over their Liebs-Nats opponents. They're all climate-criminal arseholes.

Moronic flat-earth racist coal-licking premier of recently elected RWNJ state govt, declares astonishment at symptoms from the escalating #ClimateCrisis he continues to fuel.

You can't make this shit up.

Devastation from Queensland floods 'incredible', premier says

Thousands of people are beginning to return home to assess damage to their properties and businesses.

Tbh, we're taking a multi-pronged approach here in Straya

  1. Yep, there's this disease thing, ofc
  2. But just in case we don't fully wipe them out that way, we're busily approving new coal & gas projects licketty split, so we can continue to air-fry the little bastards
  3. Then we have our other Cunning Plan, to approve ongoing massive deforestation to annihilate the stubborn buggers that way too
  4. Bonus points is that this way, we also wipe out heaps of our other critical species too
