Also a good idea, but there's only so much blatant fear mongering one can endure before tuning out.

Feelz don't care about facts, but some people make the effort to enlighten the tortured souls anyway...
You got that backwards.

From your perspective, maybe.
An interesting experiment going on in Cornwall:
'Cornish homes take part in trial to supply clean power to grid':

Sounds awesome and exactly the kind of project we all need to move towards to have better energy security, redundancy and green local based energy solutions. I'll be keeping an eye on the project and reporting back the results and conclusions.

People most certainly can and do get emotional reactions in front of facts, i.e., "feelz" care about facts but not the other way around given facts are objetive in nature (quite the opposite to feelings.)
Human Psychology 101, though. We tend to rely on emotion and intuition more than we'd like to think. This is probably because they're quick, approximate reckonings that enable decisions to be taken as events unfold, which is handy when you need a decision right now about whether to fight, run away from or ...engage in conjugal activity.. with the person you've just encountered. Rationalisation is something we typically do to justify what our intuition has already decided for us & we can take considerable time making rational choices, looking at facts and options and weighing them against one-another. It's an uncomfortable feeling of cognitive dissonance when your intuition tells you to take one decision, but spending a few minutes thinking it through tells you it isn't the right one.
We like to believe we're rational, considered animals. But we're not - we're chaotic, illogical but predictable creatures of habit.

I have zero idea what 'feelz' even is, never seen it written or talked about anywhere, so just based on the 'quality' of that posters contributions so far to this thread, i have to accept it is not worth my time trying to sort through their self confusions and abstract language choice to even try to understand what they are attempting to communicate. Just not worth my time for their level of contribution (i'm not even sure what they are posting here for? Is it in protest or something? This is the thread about environmental issues. There is another thread for them to prove their belief in

So we had those Amazon 'worst yet' forrest fires, then the recent ones in California (that looked pretty bad), so now it is Australia's turn
Australia bushfires: Record number of emergencies in New South Wales
Australia bushfires: Record number of emergencies in New South Wales
An unprecedented number of blazes bring the highest threat level to New South Wales, officials say.www.bbc.com
On the sidenote, at the very least in California, wildfires are pretty much integral part of the natural cycle - some species like the giant sequoia in fact need it. This cycle is being continuously broken by fire prevention, which means accumulation of lot of combustible material, hence when there is a fire, things get bad quickly.
A little more, a little less ... to the point where we are ...
If one is already hysterical about sensational-lies based on manipulated data, further evidence rarely helps.
Did you bother to watch the video inside the spoiler tags?
As long as you persist in posting main stream media outrage to scare the children...I have zero idea what 'feelz' even is, never seen it written or talked about anywhere, so just based on the 'quality' of that posters contributions so far to this thread, i have to accept it is not worth my time trying to sort through their self confusions and abstract language choice to even try to understand what they are attempting to communicate.

"Feelz" is a contraction of "feelings", or did your cognitive dissonance get confused?
Australia has the same fuel load issues due to the CO2 greenies refusing to let people safely back burn.
There have been many more significant fires in the past, and the original inhabitants knew about fuel load.
Right, that completely agrees with what I said lol.
Rarely if ever do you post something relevant (or even correct) but most importantly, you didn't post a video in any of your recent replies to me.
Cherry picking the first five words of a post, ignoring the rest and arguing semantics won't help anyone.
There are two distinctly opposing narratives in play regarding the environment. One is coming from the main stream media in a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the face of low cost competition from basement dwellers with webcams on youtube, while trying to control the usual doom and gloom panic.
The other is coming from actual scientists that are up to their neck in real time data every day of the week because that is their job, and they're refusing to succumb to pressure from those who prefer to leach funding from the climate gravy train and are instead, attempting to present the truth of observation.
Ignoring information because it doesn't agree with your "feelz" is not going to provide a balanced outlook.
No, you didn't. No mention of poor unfortunate souls being tortured with disinformation they don't have the time or inclination to verify for themselves and you obviously didn't bother to review the video link.
Well that's nice, because that particular post was not in response to a post by you, it didn't have your name on it and it directly followed a post by me, on finding some new and possibly helpful information.
Ignore the scientific data if you prefer, or block me. I'm just posting evidence that may calm the hysteria.
I'm starting to think you have dementia, I even split your post to reply more precisely.
Yep, you have dementia.
I might pay attention to whatever you post if you are more coherent and on the point, somehow, I know that won't happen...
Two words: Edward Bernays. Herd instinct manipulation by the father of public relations...
What was that saying about those who ignore history being doomed to repeat it over and over?
