Hi, Rupfel, I understand that sentiment about drought and it comes from both sides of politics, easily spread with modern communications. The current drought has been terrible. In some parts of Australia the "federation drought" is regarded as worse than the present, but we can only talk about our own experience. My 95 year old father who has lived in one village all his life told me a few years ago that the weather had gone back to what it was like when he was a child. Again, his own perspective.

I am not a climate change sceptic. I fully agree that the climate is changing. It has changed many times, and dramatically, throughout Earth's history, affecting the evolution of the various species. I don't think Australian climate history is limited to a couple of hundred years of recorded observations. There is a lot more history we do not fully grasp as mankind being a short term occupant of Earth, like why there are coral reefs inland in WA, or why the rocks near Devonport TAS are related to the rocks from the Grand Canyon Nevada, or why islands in the pacific may be drowning whilst others are rising.
 
I don't have a Doctorate, like nzsirahman boasts, only a Masters, so I am obviously not capable of research or thought or development of any opinion, it would seem. Perhaps I am a sceptic if that is what people want to call me. One think I will not do is block people who have a differing viewpoint, as then there is no hope of learning anything new. I read PLS posts daily in the hope of learning something from somebody.

So block me if you want. I hope we start to see a permanent rise in the share price in the next quarter. To mods who may be watching and all readers I am sorry to have dipped in tonight after many months without a post, I just temporarily ran out of other things to do. I will avoid further responses to save your pixels and time, because I am obviously stupid. Consider these two posts my last for some time. Cheers to all.
