World's largest study of global climate related mortality links 5 million deaths a year to abnormal temperatures Study of global climate related mortality links 5 million deaths a year to abnormal temperatures.

In case you think the analogy with murder is a little far-fetched, a team of researchers led by Monash University found that between 2000 and 2019, 5 million extra deaths were caused by climate change related extreme weather events. www.monash.edu/news/article...

Instead we should be stopping murders, wherever they happen - that is to say, we should be actually stopping emissions. Not burning or digging up fossil fuels. Not bulldozing native forests. We all know what to do.

I agree with the Liberal Party. Net zero is a scam and we should abandon it. It's like saying it's OK to commit murder as long as you pay a surrogate to have a baby at the same time. Also, that it's ok to procure multiple murders in another country because that's the other country's problem.

He had accepted a chocolate Freddo Frog worth 70 cents from a friend who had allegedly stolen it.

'But the incident is far from amusing. The case gave a revealing insight into the entrenched racism of WA's "justice" system. Indigenous people in WA are the most imprisoned people in the world.'

"He was stabbed by the Hand of God, your honour."

Perhaps he could argue self-defence, but would be tricky to explain why he got out of the car.

*irony alert*

What baffles me is why you would stab them when you can just run them over a claim it was an accident.

I think this is absolutely correct. The right wing of politics has been very quick to harness this anger and turn it to their own ends, which are mainly 'make rich people richer'. The mainstream left has resisted and tried to be the 'sensible centre' when they should be for radical redistribution.

Yep. But they won't because that's not what they're preselected to do. Our major political parties are not fans of democracy. That's why I don't vote for them.

Perhaps poor people are just better at managing money.

We elect them to speak up, but the party pre-selects them to shut up and support the party line.

Billionaires are a blight on the planet. Also, they mystify me. Why do they want all that money?

Lol, it's not a threat until it is. They are counting on their billions to allow them to shift the risk to poor people, but they're willing to put a bit of money into finding a cure for malaria as a climate catastrophe offset. :(

Climate change is not a major threat to billionnaires.

Here tomorrow, maybe? Although it's probably going to rain.

This is how war works. When the troops are at war people rally round the flag, the media falls into line (often under some degree of compulsion, sometimes via self-censorship), the enemy is demonised and the warmongers get rewarded.

I want to be where you are. In Brisbane it is now 37.3 at 4.37pm.

Trust me, Brisbane today is not a place to be. Be thankful for the cold and put on a jumper.

Because nothing says 'law and order' like shooting people at random.

Wi-fi connected devices are so 2024. My current hate is opening a 2-page pdf and having Acrobat Reader offer me an AI summary of it. Or doing a google search and seeing the first entry is an AI summary on the issue which says exactly the same thing as the Wikipedia entry.

And yet housing is more expensive than it has ever been. Hard to reconcile these two things.

Robodebt is not an isolated case, and the same sort of s*** is still going on. We need a much more fundamental reform of both the system and the departments that administer it.

Break out the popcorn.

Liberal Lite.

I wish the Liberals had won the last election, Peter Dutton is the best PM we never had.
