Has the Murray dried up yet Tim Flannery?
But to be fair, I have major concerns about the Darling system because real people are calling it out
The 2019 - 20 horrendous bushfires were caused by climate change?
Is climate change over because we've had 2 years of minimal bushfires?
Are we overreacting to everything because of the over reaching media? My father in law thinks so and hes seen, and been through, a fair bit
I think I speak for everyone when I say... what?
Come on surely you understand what his saying....
I honestly think its undisputable that the media drives 'hot' societal issues and uses these to generate increased readership/viewership through exaggeration.
The bushfires is a classic example......during that tragic summer the media drove, speculated and analysed every aspect of bushfire management....all of a sudden every second person on facebook was either a climate change expert or fire management expert. Eventually the topic got cold as the weather did and now no one is discussing any of those issues despite it being election time and despite the issue being still as a great a risk as it was a couple of years ago.
During that summer everyone was an expert on how much funding the government should be putting towards bushfires, now a state election is here and the biggest topic is the Adelaide Aquatic Centre
