Please explain, Greta. Why did heat wave happen around the world in 1896, including NSW temperature reaching 49 degrees Celsius? Was it a climate change phenomenon caused by carbon emission from coal power stations and burning fossil fuel more than 200 years ago?

Does Greta Thunberg realise many renewable energy generators are difficult to maintain and may even cause further climate change in the long run? To maintain its efficiency, a solar panel surface especially at the dusty outback, needs to be cleaned with clean water, which is a waste of precious resource no matter where.

Wind turbines in large number are more than likely to disrupt normal air flow, thus creating a different kind of climate change, possibly leading to more frequent occurrence of twisters and cyclones.

Greta, many things are easier said than done!

Thank you for reading.

Governments, business 'misleading' on climate, teen activist Greta Thunberg said

I shall keep my comment brief, as I am writing an article debunking what many climate scientists and speakers have been claiming that the climate change will cause mass extinction.

Back in 25 January 1896, NSW experienced 10 days of heat wave, with maximum temperature reaching 49 degrees celcius, killing 437 people. In August 1896, North America experienced the same, and 1,500 were killed. Even we add up all the people killed by heat wave, it was nothing compared with the number killed by manmade wars. Resilient human beings survived, otherwise I won't be writing this comment.

What happened after 1896? Mother Earth temperature dropped back, and fluctuated as normal.

Emission control is not the panacea to solve the climate problem. If one searches information about fluctuating weather via Google or similar, one will find there were many recorded history on heat wave.

Was carbon dioxide the culprit, and should be left in the ground? If so, we the human beings should be all buried 6-foot under and leave this planet to anaerobic organisms or anaerobes that do not require oxygen for growth. Human beings consume oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

Although the adage says, "prevention is better than cure", I would argue that prevention is just a bandaide approach, while cure puts the end to the problem.

Have scientists, NOT climate scientists, been tackling how to remove existing excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and from any emission in power production?

Vaccine is good for prevention, but we need drugs or medication that boast the immune system and white blood cells to kill the bacteria and germs.

The recent volcanic eruption in White Island releases a lot heat, toxic gases and dust that can distort the atmospheric conditions. This is the effect of one small volcano. What if we take into consideration of all the spectacular volcanic eruptions around the world?

Mother Earth and climatic disruption by the influence forced upon us by other terrestial bodies in the universe cannot be ignored, and the buck should stop there.

School strikers are going places but the dole queue isn't one of them

Many did not strike in the 60s and 70s, and they also became leaders too. There can’t be that many top jobs or leadership jobs, which means many more are left with other other positions or even dole queue.

It's always easier to be an armchair General, and these striking students are just taking the back seats and telling the drivers how to drive and where to go.

So, what do these striking students want the government do exactly? I mean whether they come out with suggestions that are doable and implementable without jeopardising the livelihood of Australians.

Words and strikes are cheap, and if their suggestions lead to job losses, then it is not unlikely that they might join the dole queue.
