Letter to the Editor
The cauldron of discontent that is the climate change debate alternates between simmer and boil over, depending on what new ingredients are tossed in. The combination of drought, water shortages and bushfires all meant that the cauldron was boiling most of the time and the media was starting to run out of superlatives to describe the situation.
“Crisis” and “catastrophic” have been used to the point that they have almost become meaningless and occasionally apocalyptical.
“Outrage”has also become popular. How dare the Prime Minister allow this to happen?
Around the country groups are calling for “immediate” or “instant” action. Doing his bit to stir the pot is the smug figure of Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese.
So I think the time is right to introduce a new adjective, “hysteria”.

Greta Thumberg gave a master class in theatrically contrived hysteria at the UN.
Some of the people in the latest hysterical outburst are not in the mould of regular rent-a-crowd uni students. Among the Extinction Rebellion activists were middle aged and senior citizens.
As a senior citizen myself, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at their antics.
Hysteria means “emotional excess” or frenzy, irrationality, panic and loss of control, and that really concerns me.
Normally steady sane people are being swept along by the tide of professional activists whose only interest is destabilisation for their own aims under the smokescreen of climate change.
I think it’s time to sit down and take a “Bex”.

Thanks Terry we posted it.Editor
What a fantastic vid, absolutely deserving of widespread distribution, and with the hopeful permission of the proprietor, I will so do.
To change tack slightly, the problem with the extinction camp is as I have elucidated previously, is the bloody “education system” it takes absolute ignorance and turns it into channeled ignorance., and I quote my own grand daughter, “that’s not what my teacher says”. THERE YOU HAVE IT!
spot on,
I wish the Extinction Rebellion crowd would just pause for few minutes and look at real science. Perhaps watch this video by Patrick Moore, a founding member of Greenpeace and who has a PhD in Environmental Science.

Maybe they could understand the science, but more likely they would discount it as it does not conform with their world view and their self-centered personalities as warriors of climate salvation.
One of the main reasons for the fires besides stealing land for the proposed
fast train, is to fool the sleeping masses that climate change is responsible.
Climate change is a scam just like bit coin.
How ever the real reason for the push of climate change is they failed at
global warming too many saw through it, so they have come up with climate change.
What in effect they want to happen is Australia signs off on the Paris climate agreement
if the Australian pretend Government signs the Paris climate agreement what they are really doing is
signing over to the UN (United Nations) all our in and on ground resources over to the UN
which by the way includes we the people.
Which is another phase of agenda 21/30 there you have it
Hysteria comes from > Hysterectomy …as it was seen as a WOMAN’S illness….Unstable person……so to treat this MENTAL illness…. they did a ” Hysterectomy” on them…that also made sure they Never had kids.
Many many years ago one of my teachers (at school) said “empty vessels make most noise”
AINT THAT THE TRUTH?
B.Johnstone..We are oldies and thought the same as you when we saw on our local tv, just before Christmas I think, the newly formed branch of Extinct Rebellion, marching down the main street of Albury..a whole dozen of them, mostly oldies.They looked rather ridiculous but I felt sorry for then because obviously they have no idea that Extinction Rebellion is really a marxist group working for the UN and NWO, under the guise of caring for the state of our planet.They thought they were helping to save the planet…instead they are working for the group who want to make us a 3rd world country.
It is all about POWER and Money. It has nothing to do with making clean air
They have been giving us 12 to 20 year warning for the last 50 years, has any body died yet.
No it is not going to happen
The only thing that is killing us no is all these 100s of vaccines they giving up. Look up, how many people have died from illness, they have been vaccinated for.
