Climate Change, Climate Crisis, is the SECOND biggest scam in human history.
I will leave you to figure out what the BIGGEST is!
Australia is about the same land area as the '48', and about 2/3rds of it is arid desert suitable only to dig up vast amounts of Iron ore, coal and rare earths, ETC ETC ETC ETC.
The big difference with Australia and Nth America is the fact that our main mountain range is near the EAST coast, while yours is near the WEST coast. This pushes up the humid air and dumps the rain all over the opposite area.
As Dorothea MacKeller wrote in her poem of 120 years ago - 'My Country' Australia is "a land of droughts and flooding rains". It has always been so, it will always BE so!
Much of Australia is tropical and about 50% is north of the Tropic of Capricorn. They have 2 seasons up there, the WET and the DRY! In our caravan/trailer in the "Top End" we have sat through EIGHT inches of rain in 6 hours! By morning you could hardly see any water lying about! Inland a tropical storm will flood vast areas and it will all lead to the centre of the continent at Lake Eyre, where it evaporated is a few months and leaves a vast salt plain.
Most 'City Councils' have flood records going back to early European settlement, and they all know what the highest level is. Anyone who builds or buys under that level is a MUG!
Yes flood insurance IS expensive, many prohibitively so. Our daughter and hubby had to dish out $3000 for a 3 bed 2 bath home well ABOVE highest level. Mine cost less than $600.

OK.
I agree with you on organized religion, but I think a higher power is watching over us, though I'm not convinced he's all good. Many people I know have taken that position.
