Australia is not the only place that is burning.
But Australia isn't the only place which is burning. In 2019, online platformGlobal Forest Watch Fires(GFW Fires) counted over 4.5 million fires worldwide that were larger than one square kilometer. That's a total of 400,000 more fires than 2018 and two and a half times as many as in 2001.

You are just inviting ripostes from people who will point out the role of the Guardian and ABC.
This thread has degenerated into a he said/she said and IMHO is contributing nothing to the forum which is a Land Rover forum .
The posting of articles from "news" sources that are common knowledge is also discouraged.

And then how will they build, maintain, operate it?
We all need people in lesser positions to maintain life. Just as we need Chinese people making cheap stuff for us, those better off than us - need us!
The Elite have gotten there by one (usual) route, greed for 'possessions' as the benchmark of success.. trampling over their underlings in reaching the peak of the heap .and trappings of perceived position in Society.Quote:

Or, Self respect that comes from being of value.., putting others first, all driven by a passion to maintain / improve the circumstances.
Anyone got a better definition of Volunteers. ?
And the issue with that is???Quote:

I'm with Trout, the last thing , Oz needs is an increase in population.
Then we have 'geniuses' like Elon Musk and Jack Ma saying the world needs more people????
There will be wars very soon across the world over water, it's starting to happen in Africa and Asia.
They are geniuses at making money within the current system, nothing more

To that end, Politics and Religion - the 2 most devisive subjects you can think of - are banned from discussion in the general forums. YOU KNOW THIS, so your comment Above itself is meant to elicit a response. Take your article to CA where it can be posted and discussed, not here. No one is forcing you to be here, but when you are, you - like everyone else - is expected to play by the rules - this place isn’t a democracy you know.Quote:
