Climate change is a hoax isn’t it?.

Following a TC, jeeez must be climate change eh? Spare me

For some reason, unlike the best ways to treat leukaemia or how best to scale quantum computing, people feel qualified to have sure opinions on climate science which is every bit as complex.

There'd be no arguments over the science behind it if it weren't politicised. The status quo is profitable to the establishment, so the same strategies big tobacco threw at keeping smoking viable has been used by the fossil fuel industry.

The science is not in doubt and hasn't been for a long time. The same science that brings you your phone, air travel and modern medical treatments.

While there have been cyclones this far south in the past (although rare) this one was without doubt driven by a changing climate - and specifically the several degrees average above normal sea temperatures that have been persistent for a few years now. Ocean temperate is a key driver.

Great list, the only point I'd like clarified is the one about most new unemployment claims; does this include the presidencies of Hoover and Roosevelt in the Depression? Beating that is a hell of an achievement.
