Another dumb-statement


World Health Mini-post № 3

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.”
