Climate issue needs to be put into historical perspective

A flood of Brown's "green climate change rhetoric".

There are some, well lets call them pretty unique political views around that get discussed in a free and open society.

One of them is this concept of climate change.

One thing that no one will dispute is our global climate and indeed our nation's climate is, and always has been, extremely dynamic, if one bothers to check the historical record.

But that doesn't seem to bother the Greens and Senator Bob Brown when grandstanding on the recent flood devastation with Bob Brown saying this week that he is blaming coal mining for the recent floods.

Now frankly I'm surprised at his timing and insensitivity and his audacity. Over the years he has said that climate change will put this country into permanent drought.

As if to give his extreme views some level of credibility he goes on to claim that scientists say these things, so he is saying them.  If he were to bother doing his research he would know that just as many scientists oppose his views.

Now this week he has said global warming caused by Australian coal miners will cause permanent drought for Australia with some floods, but then back into drought...

BROWN GUILTY OF BLAME GAMES

I'M disgusted at the call by Bob Brown, the leader of the Australian Greens, to make the coal industry pay for the recent floods.

Renowned long-range weather forecaster Inigo Jones predicted this flood event prior to his death in 1954.

This is another attempt by the climate-change panic merchants to hoodwink Australians. This flood was definitely not caused by global warming and people need to be clear about that.

Generous donors also need to be understanding.

Having grown up in Lismore for the first 20 years of my life I understand a little of what is involved when farms, homes and businesses flood. For many people who have lived through some of the big floods of recent memory the involvement of governments and charities in helping out is something of a mixed blessing because many past floods have wiped out businesses, or come very close to it.

There has also been some chatter on social media and on TV news that charities aren't doing enough because they aren't accepting all the donations that some people my want to give, things such as boxes of whatever that person has available.

Let me address that as I've seen this issue from both sides.

Firstly it is very generous that people do want to help out, but lets be realistic, no matter who the charity is they themselves have limited resources, that are usually stretched to the limit so ask the charity what would be helpful to them so they can help the people they are helping.

I've always supported The Salvation Army's appeals, and many people ask why they request donors give money, sometimes other smaller items like toasters and things like that. It is a very simple and practical reason. Within a a very short time, almost immediately from the financial donation being made, that money can be electronically transferred to where it is needed and given to people in need.

Tomorrow I'll talk about another aspect of volunteers helping out in crisis disaster relief but as for any criticisms of the good work by the volunteers in the SES all I have to say is …

Every drop of water wasted is a reminder of the wash out of political leadership

Wow what a year it has been already.

I want to wish everyone a Happy New year, but as we speak today, it isn't so happy for everyone.

Our family road trip took us to the northern regions of NSW and Southern QLD, been road motorists and tourists, visited family members on some of Australia's most diverse farming areas and visited my childhood stomping grounds, and yet again was reminded that the nations politicians just don't understand much of this nation's needs.

The political priorities of our state and federal governments simply don't match the urgent needs of the community.

This nation needs a serious large scale national water management scheme, for the collection of flood and excess water when and where there is a lot of water around and to store and move that water when and where it is needed. It isn't going to prevent the devastating flooding we are seeing at the moment, but what it would do is to help primary production for Australian and international food sales in those years that are dry.

Talk to anyone, on any view, watching our nation's productivity evaporate faster than water on a hot summer's day in the outback and they will raise this issue and the fact that our that our political leaders have no interest or understanding of the importance of collecting and distributing water. Turn It Up. I'm Michael D. Robinson
