Weather and climate aren’t the same thing

I remember 50 years ago bitumen melting in summer and running across the beach to the water because the sand was so hot, don’t tell me it’s hotter now, the biggest con of all time 🤷‍♂️

I think you cherry pick facts. Most likely the first picture is summer and the second winter.

It's the number one method of mind control:- confusion.

Cool meme. How about some scientific data to inform your policy proposals? This is the policy suggestion of a 5 year old.

When you’ve actually visited glaciers and seen them melting…during that countries winter. Might change your mind if you actually stepped outside of the country Malcom.

Yes but the 1976 forecast was summer, the 2026 one is winter...

I think you need to understand the difference between climate and weather …..

Just got back from Japan and they were saying it was a “heatwave” it was temps between  23°C and 30°C a few days away from summer and that was a “heatwave” 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

Well, a TV weatherman from a few years back said and I quote that “BOM only get 5% of their prediction correct.” A very brave man. Have you noticed that nowadays that every time there’s a change in the weather it’s going to be, extreme, catastrophic, etc? 😳😳

That’s about it, Scare Tactics to scare the youngsters 😎😎😎

That's depicting weather not climate.

I remember trying to cook eggs on the bonnet of the car .40 odd degrees .Funny. not edible .Had a grand laugh x

I just looked online and according to the Bureau of Meteorology, the average mean temperature in adelaide in 1976 was 16.0 to 16.5, whereas 2026 it is 17.0 to 17.5. So would you have believe a meme you posted or a scientific based government organisation.

I think you like the AI slop

I remember the roads melting and the asphalt flicking up under your car lol, havent seen that in years

You can go back even further in time to the late ‘40s . I was born in 1942, so my awareness of weather started around 10 I guess, maybe earlier. I definitely remember in class that teachers made adjustments for heat or truly wet weather. It was not uncommon for us to hope it would get to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (almost 38celsius) so it would be an early mark 🤣🤣🤣

Yep I remember it hotter and more real droughts growing up in the 80s

I moved from Qld to WA, their extreme catastrophic weather events are an afternoon shower back home…. 🤪

It’s easier to con someone than convince them they have been conned.

You're still calling everyone else the uni-party, despite One Nation's record of voting in line with the coalition uni-party?

Flog thinks he knows more than science

Actually in the 70s they were claiming that we were all going to freeze to death from global cooling. Peddled in schools as well.

It's funny the weather does not change only the narative!

Back in the 70's I remember sleeping on the bathroom floor more than once, because it was the coolest place in the house, until I got a tent and slept outside. I remember going to the beach to cool off and getting home hotter than when we left. We went to school by bike or on foot, no matter the weather. No such things as air con or insulation. These days people are spoiled rotten with aircon and driving everywhere, they've just become a bunch of softie windgers. Toughen up princesses.

Yeah, well we’ve all seen how spectacularly privatisation has worked with electricity.. let’s bring back the SEC.

Lol, and they picked California of all places

Why? Because business follows MONEY! This is that obvious Malcolm. Capital is free! Goes whenever it has more profit for the pocket😂

Nothing to do with the fact that the US olive oil market is 7 times larger than Australia then?

Yeah, the dreaded "LIMA Agreement" still working in the background..

And how will the economy do that, Malcolm? Go and dig up iron ore in Paraguay?

So Malcolm; apply this philosophy to your pursuit of state owned power supply, and your utilization of state subsidies for household solar and batteries. What’s your position on socialized healthcare?

Where is the free market?

Australia has always been a social democracy, regardless of govt. Don't you know that senator?

Better we have drinking water than olive oil.

Hey Malcolm which socialist idea would you get rid of first. ?

Are the socialists in the room now little guy?

What Malcolm really means is: “this budget has removed some of the taxpayer funded advantage my billionaire backers enjoyed and now they aren’t happy”…….

Australia's new work rules focus on modernizing employee benefits and payroll compliance. These include the shift to "Payday Super" and the "Right to Disconnect". Broader future trends highlight the integration of AI-augmented working environments, gender pay-gap reporting, and a pivot toward skills-based hiring over traditional paper degrees

It’s time Senator Malcolm Roberts to turn your attention to all the data centres popping up everywhere.

What Malcolm is trying to describe is Communism. Socialism is subsidised health care i.e. Medicare and the PBS. A safety net to protect the vulnerable in our community i.e. jobseeker, maternity leave, NDIS, aged pension etc etc. And we all support some if not all of those measures.

That doesn't make sense. They are more screwed up than us

We should look at the California Socialist model; it could be better than our Capitalist model. Cobram Estate has been in the USA since 2014- it is a much larger market than Australia, the growing areas have less frost, its water supply is more stable, and it's easier to get capital. All these factors influenced its decision. Why move now? Because Australia and some other olive regions are likely to fare worse with Climate Change. They want to be established before others decide to move in.

Just a thought from a dementing old man .water rights . Open bidding system - is capitalism - Australia . Restricted bidding system is socialism - California

It's a sad state of affairs when California taxes and red tape is easier to deal with

It may be democratic getting into socialism, but there is no democratic way out when the democracy stops.

democratic socialist ? Like the nordic countries? the ones that rnak highest in quality of life and happiness? this olive oil company wants water for free and to poison the land.

no water in California , usa in drought in other parts as well they just looking at expansion and no tariffs

Take government subsidies away and most renewables are doomed. Find it so funny to read all the comments here, meanwhile Australia is still, and will forever be, exporting coal and gas. Poor fools who think we make any climate difference other than sending ourselves broke. What a joke!

Australia’s energy system is transitioning fast: • Coal is dying from economics, not activism. • Renewables are smashing records quarter after quarter. • The only thing “rising” for fossil fuels is subsidies, not actual investment or future viability. The headline is basically: “Coal is back!” Meanwhile the data says: “Mate, coal’s on life support and the government is paying the hospital bill.”

Funny you should say that 🤔 How is it that 90 % of our coal generators are going to retire by 2035 And no wants to build a new one ? Not even the Coalition! What aren’t you telling us Mal ? What are you hiding? You keep banging on about Net Zero Please EXPLAIN 🤣

I rewatched the clip of Brian Cox absolutely bodying you on Q&A earlier 🤣🤣 Ah, good times

Given the maintenance needed to keep old dinosaur coal plants running, the increased 'investment' is no surprise.

I’m building a coal furnace in my backyard right now! 🙄

Malcome mate you bloody know its not hahaha

Gina's junior puppet. Boy Friday, or indeed Coal Friday.

LOL citing the Australian. Hilarious stuff.

What planet are you on???

I admit, I'm pretty critical of your posts but using the Australian in a post about the truth in energy development is a big stretch.

The “truth” coming from The Australian? 🤣

Dear Malcolm, the word 'truth' and your name never belong in the same sentence. 🤣🤣🤣

“set to surge”… but hasn’t ?

Well ... Maybe take a look at how many companies have joined the RE100, NVIDIA, AMD, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, IKEA,...etc, you name it, all of them request 100% renewable energy!

The truth? Regarding renewables in the Australian? Hahahaha! Good one.

So, a Murdoch rage says so... must be true 🙄

Nothing about Green Energy is Green !

I was impressed with the pragmatism I saw on 8 hour fast train from Hong Kong to Beijing last month: thousands of solar panels, hundreds of wind turbines, several coal/gas power stations. Result driven not ideological.

Quoting from an article in the Australian is hardly credible.

That claim has been debunked.

My roof top solar panels provide me with free electricity all year round. Renewables for me, safe, affordable, efficient, and, effective, pollutant free energy. You can't get that from a highly toxic coal fired power station.

Cheeper power on the way
