Sorry a big rant coming. Got to give it to Sky News. Rupert's down under shit for brains crap as rag. Big headlines "Trump is becoming more popular in the court of public opinion." For starters why is this important for Australia? Furthermore this openly anti democratic monster wants to be America's first Emperor. He is also on the public record for wanting to bring back public mass executions .You also have major Republicans like John Bolton, Chriss Christie and Bill Barr, all of whom served under Trump's last administration. Warning us this guy is a lunatic. Then you have America's Nuclear codes and other high security documents sitting in Trump's bathroom beside a photo copier. This guy is possibly a Putin asset. He has billions of dollars tied up in Russian businesses and property. Seriously Murdoch media goons this is way more than beyond the line.

Is there a God or Not?
I've this for years. Spent time as a Catholic and some time in the new age movement. I've explored Sufism, Buddhism and have been a practicing Wiccan for years. Currently I've been flirting with Atheism.
Officially I can see why Atheists are correct. The peer reviewed current science is on your side. There is no denying that. Yet at the micro level something weird is happening with the quarks which are the components of electrons, protons and neutrons of matter. Appearing to disappear and then a micro moment latter to reappear. Science will probably come up with an explanation for that.
There is another word for God, Nature. I truly do not believe in an actual God but reality can sure be weird. I've have had to much experience with that weirdness to dismiss the notion something beyond the ordinary is going on. Whether or not we have a life after physical death. Probably not but I can't dismiss the possibility.

Karma is a Bitch
The meme I commented on.
This is quite a common response for our current anti science, so called awakened, conspiracy times. Especially if it is a official report on climate change.
"There is a silver lining to this problem. The guy on the internet is the kind of idiot who builds on low level areas of the coast and flood plains and votes in politicians who deny climate change. They refuse to get them selves vaccinated, during pandemics, because they buy into the conspiracy narrative. They donate their savings to rich Grifters who invoke the name of Jesus and they habitually vote in the vary politicians who will least represent their true interests. Sit back and have a good laugh and let reality deal with them." (My Comment)
The sad part is we are looking likely to also experience difficulties in our own reality due to the determined stubborn, easily influenced by right wing media, types amongst us. The non take up of vaccinations allows covid to remain longer in circulation. Political right wing grifters love using Jesus to get the churchy mugs or wolf whistling to bigots to get these useful idiots to vote for them. Or creating a false narrative around wokanism. Trump and arch conservative politicians world wide are a prime example. Furthermore these useful idiots voting habits create road blocks for nations world wide in dealing with climate change.
The good news is there has being movement world wide towards renewables, up take of electric vehicles, banning of logging, governments phasing out fossil fuel cars etc but not at this stage fast enough to keep the world from rising above the 1.5 degree celsius thresh hold. Above this temperature climate scientists are worried that various natural feedback loops will kick in. An example of this is in the melting permafrost near the Earths poler icecaps. Due to global warming. Resulting in the releasing millions of tons of methane (another green house gas) into earths atmosphere. Warming the planet even more.
There for we hope we can over come the effect of inertia to needed change or we make plans and act on them to prepare for the worse case scenario. I personally believe that we will sort of get there but are going to have a very ruff century or so ahead of us. Sorry kids us activist types did our best. As for covid. Natural selection will have it's day. Hence karma is a bitch. Yet sadly the churchy types will buy into the religiose grifters bull around Armageddon and God is punishing us because we legalised homosexuality, etc. This is how they will continue to deny climate change. Even as their homes are destroyed. Yet many people on the sidelines of this debate will more likely join in with the climate scientists and activists. Finally voting in politicians willing to take on the fossil fuel industry.
On a positive note there are fossil fuel companies and others, such as AGL, FMG, etc, who are seeing the writing on the wall and moving their businesses towards renewables and closing down their coal fire power stations. Further more governments and companies are moving forward with carbon sequestration projects. to help make up for lost time and decarbonise the Earths atmosphere.

Unvaccinated magically protected by the 80% mark or are they?
Simply put the 80% mark makes the ability of the virus to spread far less because less people will be catching it and spreading it. The unvaccinated get protected by default. The only problem is the Delta coved variant is still infectious to the vaccinated but by 80% less. Thus it remains to be seen if the unvaccinated will remain protected. The other issue is if the unvaccinated travel too areas in the world which have not yet achieved 80% vaccination. Then there is the problem of future corvid variant out breaks. Inevitably stubborn determined ignorance will catch up with them. I predict this will lead to a drop in conspiracy nutters, climate change deniers and stubborn conservatives in our voting populations through out the world. Though sad for their loved ones is a good thing for our species and others survival.
May be Crystal Power may work?
Or sucking in a Light Workers Fart such as Trumps (QAnon new age twaddle). Who magically can get away with one not paying his bills, such as for those who legally represent him, Gillanie or those who build for him, etc. Nor giving the millions donated to him by his stuck on base, to the very causes he claims to represent. The money magically goes to his bank account and they know but still give.

Comfortable people make for a stupid society.
Thanks to the break throughs by science and society in making people lives more comfortable. Lazy thinking now prevails. Instead of people seeking the actual truth. They seek comfortable lies to back up their conformation bias's. Reality will kick in at some point. But not after a lot of stupid have died.

Young Tory Tosser turns up to an extinction rebellion meeting and goes pro nuclear.
Apparently some young tosser who turned up to an extinction rebellion meeting has now gone pro nuclear. This apparent important public news on the lines of Andrew Bolt stubbing his toe on the way from the toilet. (Hold the front page) gets its own story in the media.
