Let’s frame and mount it for future reflection. ---

> [@Reg](#): > > The two stories are not in conflict, Michele. Climate change created conditions wherein the Australian forests in question were dry and highly susceptible to fire. When forests are wet, lush and green, they don’t tend to burn quickly. Gulp! That’s so…so…touching. You should talk to the rest of the world like this. It becomes you. The whole world loves a good public display of passion for Australia’s lush greenery and you clearly haven’t ever rolled around on Aussie land. ---

> [@jules1](#): > > I have driven through the ravaged areas and Armageddon has arrived. May the devil roast the government in hell and may Scott Morrison be at the top of the goddamn pile. An Australian friend of mine (bible observing conservative christian) confirmed to me my theory of _homosexual sins_ and _loss of biblical moral_ may have caused these Armageddon like fires. Bowl number 4 is being spilled out over the sun by god according to revelation… I illustrated the theory in another topic: [https://discourse.bbad.com/t/what-climate-change-means-to-me/668/19](https://discourse.bbad.com/t/what-climate-change-means-to-me/668/19) Why Australia and not EU?

I’d advocate to ban gay marriage, homo parades and nudity as a first step and encourage parochial schooling and homeschooling as second step to soothen god’s wrath upon us and hence to combat the pouring out of more bowls of wrath by god as described in revelation. ---

It’s way too cold for public nutidy here, but it is going to be 15C here this weekend. Lots of melting. The high on sunday is 16C and the low is -10C. That’s quite a freeze. ---

Not supposed to get any snow with it actually. Probably icy roads. We’ve gotten around 80 cms of snow this year, but I bet only 5 cms in my yard now. After this weekend it will probably be green. If that’s what you’d call my grass ;). I do not like the snow. I drive in it all the time. It’s not great for your car for a lot of reasons. We get most of our snow in February. It’s usually too cold to snow in January but I’m not sure what’s up with the weather here. ---
