"Sydney hammered by worst downpour in over 20 years." What's with the words 'hammered' and 'worst'? Surely the words 'blessed' and 'best' would be more appropriate.
What an amazingly coincidental set of events! Amazingly coincidental! The worst bushfires ever followed by some of the worst deluges! The governments weather technology is working wonders! You think they’d make it rain as the bushfires were happening though, right? Well they would if they were a sane government representing the people, for the benefit of the people, but alas, such is not the case in this country. Just believe that climate change is real, don’t question authority, and go to work so your tax dollars can fund such travesties.
Many of us from other parts of the world, prayed for a lot of rain when the bushfires, and now there its happening, just be pacience and protect you as much as you can
Juju Rellama that’s true but we wanted rain so the bushfires to stop And it’s a good thing it rained so the animals and lots of others are saved but we didn’t want it to flood to destroy something else people’s houses, cars, that they worked so hard for. I hope you get what I mean humans are feeble but in this case you kind of misunderstood
Australia: "It's too cold this winter" God: "Dw kids I'll turn the thermostat up a notch-" *burns the country* God: "oops, let me cool it down a notch-" *drowns the country*
Not god, but CO2 is the atmospheric thermostat. I mean, God may or may not exist, we don't know, but we do know that CO2 is a GHG and traps heat, which makes it either drier/hotter or wetter/more humid, depending on weather conditions.
Dino's Shed not a fact. That’s your theory. Just as Evolution of man from animal is a theory not a fact. Big Bang = Theory. Chaos to Order = Theory. Take more faith to believe in those theories than in God who created all things.
This day and age ,there is no excuse to have over head power lines and the roads are flooded because councils don’t clean the drain areas before it rains.All about money in the end
It's not because of blocked drains. Blocked drains don't cause damaging winds. It's the increase in precipitation due to a warmer atmosphere. 1 degree equals 7% more moisture in the atmos. The system wasn't built for that because Aussie PM didn't want to admit to global warming. For his lie to be workable he has denied upgrading the infrastructure to prepare for such events. The bushfires were so much more damaging because he had purposefully avoided advice to increase fire protection. Yes, it is about money but not in the way you are suggesting.
Yep driving around for hours trying to do work and many of the gutters have trees and scrubs growing out of them .As I said ...councils need to be more vigilant
Don't get me wrong. I feel sorry for everyone that has lost their homes and cars but this would be amazing to watch. Such as ocean water splashing 20 metres high etc
