On the sea level rise (SLR) plot you can clearly see the 7 mm drop in 2011 from all the rain dumped on Australia, South America & some place in Asia. Took about 9 months if my memory's right for it to run back into the ocean.

It was interesting to hear the Qld premier use the term "rainbomb".

Only 8 people drowned? Had this flood occured prior to modern technological development, that number would be MUCH MUCH higher. Also, I had heard that the area has almost no flood control infrastructure; could THIS be a better reason for the damages? How do we know it's caused by anthropogenic global warming? Why should I believe this James Bond villain and take him at his word? Experts that just say shit without reasonable understandable references can go suck a lemon for all I care.

@@stevangelical7052 how do we know it wasn't a weapons test from China? China does a lot of weather related experimentation and there is some friction between the two nations. There was HUGE flooding in China last year... I think there is a small chance that was also caused by Chinese scientists screwing around with their weather patterns.

Im from Southern NSW and this whole summer has been crazy I think I did not rain for 5 days total, we had roads closed due to flooding and farm land ruined also due to the rain, very weird we finally got about a weeks break but looks like more on the way in a couple of days

Kinda like atheists' fascination with God?

Total nihilist

@@meanscene914 I hope you don't mean me, I just believe in the truth, rather than take the comfortable way out

@@meanscene914 I do not believe in climate change, I just use that as an example how ridiculous they are

There is no climate change. Its just a fabricated myth

Disagree with geoengineering. Any sort of large scale geoengineering endeavor in lieu of rapidly cutting emissions would be wildly risky. Globally accepting unlimited economic growth isn't sustainable is the only real way forward. We still don't fully understand all the interactions, shown by things continuing to progress more rapidly than expected. Without a perfect understanding and a perfect implementation, you run the risk of doing major damage like the Matrix dystopia.

@@MonkeyChessify we have been carrying on a major geoengineering experience since the Industrial Revolution in greenhouse gas emissions.

@@IdunnoBroIjdk Not exactly a good selling point? My point is doing it "correctly" and not majorly screwing up something is stupid risky.

While it's an argument it's also a useless one.

You're overestimating the ability of technology to save us from climate change. I won't help much. On the contrary, our addiction to technology is in fact the root cause of the problem since at least the industrial revolution. If technology helped, the Keeling curve which shows the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere would have shown improvements, but instead CO2 increases faster and faster years after years. We all depend on nature to eat. When it gets too warm to grow food, or to even survive outside in summer, when forests burn, when several tipping points are reached (e.g. blue ocean in the Arctic, permafrost melting, dying of the Amazon forest, mass extinction of wild life, ...), when billions of humans need to migrate, humanity will be in serious trouble.

Not to worry. The profound ignorance of humans like yourself is rapidly bringing the last act to the human experiment. Mother Nature is smiling.
