New oil find could be a
'game changer' for SA, says Ramaphosa[i].
You’ve got it wrong sir.
The new oil find
could be the final throw in the human-on-earth game.
SA is already toast … date abandoned was estimated
at 2069. Bring it forward?
What is terrible
about the Climate Change Catastrophe is there is nowhere to move to.
Don’t expect an
Aussie petition to save the burnt up South Africans … they’re burning too and,
as evidenced by the Townsville floods last week, not reacting to earlier
warnings either[ii].
SA have had warnings
too: in 1999 Don Kurtz warned UCT students “that humankind would most probably
be extinct by the year 2100[iii]”.
“My view is that
it’s just a few thousand people (who will be left) seeking refuge in the Arctic
or Antarctica” … Ira Leifer, Ph.D., Marine Sciences Institute, University of
California.
30 times more
potent than CO2 is methane.
As polar ice
melts, up it comes.
Why is the ice
melting even faster than previously anticipated?
We all know the
answer to that – unbridled use of fossil fuels.
As you sit dazed
at how stupid your family and friends, and the neighbour’s neighbour are to
elect a yesterday's president in a time
of crisis watch ‘Scientists' Warning at Foresight Group, EU Commission’[iv].
If you’re still dejected and think your personal situation is worse,
just say, “well it’s not up to me, and anyway it’s Six Nations’ openers soon.”
