I have always maintained that climate change is a cyclical thing. There is evidence that the earth was cooled and warmed over time. Surely the biggest problem facing the world is overpopulation. There are just too many of us here. Perhaps those getting into state about climate change may choose to go a bit earlier and relieve the situation! No politician will broach the subject though.

My mum’s favourite was go live in a poor village in Africa and learn about real problems

My psychologist son says what your Mum says - go and live in a third world country for a few weeks and see what problems really are!

Why don't they read more? No emissions there, no batteries required, thus no mining of rare earth minerals for said batteries which then don't recycle! Eek! That might make them stress more, but hence why reading the actual physical book is better. Preferably they should read 'the Good Book' the Bible, it helps the best.

Excellent James. I suspect all they need to do is take away their phones, iPads and Laptops and send the out camping in the wild. Simples!!!

Those are great points! I'll be sure to share some with any relevant parties I encounter. Imagine living free from the fear of imaginary problems...what we do with all that free headspace? How would we manage the lack of fear induced stress and made up problems?? Ah, the good ole days!

The devastating effects of fear porn are a boon for some who are making a lot of money. If the past four years have taught me anything it is, "the love of money is the root of all evil." 1 Timothy 6 v10.

Get the loonies to contemplate on the wasted $trillions, all for 0, & what else that money could be used for.

And try to find out who is gleefully pocketing all the money you have wasted on this climate change BULLSHIT. Attend an aviation class f meteorology and learn something about the climate that the activists wont tell you.

Great work JM

Dig up The Guardian from 18 June, it predicted athlete deaths due to the world’s hottest ever upcoming Olympics.

Surprisingly…the two weeks of the games were not particularly hot for the middle of a Parisian summer, and I believe the body bags were not required.

Rather than the heat (perhaps the rain), the games are more likely to be remembered for men beating up women and for an appalling attempt at breakdancing.

For me the highlight was seeing so many Australian flags following success, (along with the occasional boxing Kangaroo) and not one of the divisive Aboriginal flags our governments are so enamoured with.

Keep calling them to account for the hysteria.

Great list mate.

May I add; Read your Bible!

Luke 12 : 22 - 34. is a good start.

Jesus promises Eternal Life to all who follow Him. Sure life maybe tough now, but God is still on the Throne and in control.

There will be NO social media platforms in Eternity. That may cause some people a concern!

Yes I agree David Aspinall. Isn't 'X' something to do with that thing called 'algebra'? Hmmm, just stretching back to school :) hehehehe

Remember the climate is not the weather and both are always changing as they have done for thousands of years.

You know all those enormous dinasour bones? How big some of them were? To grow that big the climate must have been wetter, warmer and that carbon in the air was much greater than it is today to grow enough plants to feed then to grow that big and stay alive.

Back about 1972 the scientists wanted vast amounts of money from the Govt to save the Great Barrier Reef which would ALL be dead in 2 or 3 years. They dod not get the money. Today it is still alive, growing well and healthy.

Remember that every one and every big company that is always talking about climate change and disaster is getting money by talking about it.

GOD made the universe, all this world and he made you. He is in control. He cares for it all and you every day. He loves you. He has promised that there will always be a seed time and harvest so you have no need to worry. Get on with doing something useful with the gift of the life he has given you and get to know him and experience his love.

Well said, Andrew.

It's amazing how one little remark on social network can be taken as gospel and spread like a virus throughout the cyber world. How much carbon pollution is being created on that exercise alone?

Great list James,

No 6 stop relying on parents for everything. I think you could also add:

Stop looking to the government to solve every problem with handouts, the Govt. Is just buying their vote and destroying the economy.

Unhinged legislation will render this generation state controlled

What is missing in our young people is RESILIENCE and taking personal responsibility, filtering and looking for balance in what they watch & hear. The ability to discuss, debate, be open to other ideas and hearing a different narrative. If only!!!
