@dag66. All my life I have felt like an alien amongst my anglo-celtic friends. Especially as a boy. I saw things sort of off centre, to how they did. I grew up on the Gold Coast - Burleigh and Coolangatta. Naturally, the ocean was the centre of my world. My white friends would time wave sets, count them, and compare figures. I would sit there looking at the water until my mind was one with it. Naturally they called me a dreamer. But I am a Piscean, and grew up true to my water sign. So I guess I don't count.

The white people in this country, have always seen the bush as a threat, which needed to be defeated/subdued. Our history is fullof such references. I am white enough to understand that point of view, but Aboriginal enough to realize this is not true. Nature is not our enemy. It runs the world to its own timetable. If you are silly enough to get in its way, it will roll right over you. Look at Gympie. Lots of hills, but where did they build the town? Right in the lowest part. So every time we get decent rain the city centre floods. Isn't that just 'mazing?

But to get back to Global Warming. The Earth has been getting warmer since the last Ice-Age. SO I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH GLOBAL WARMING BEING TRUE.What I don't agree with, is that humans are the main cause. The greatest catastrophes caused by Global warming to date, were due to the melting of the North American Ice-sheet. That put most of the worlds coastal lands and cities, under hundreds of feet of water. Also as Godwanaland moved north the climate became much drier.

The ocean levels have been rising for quite some time. The Aboriginal people island-hopped through SE Asia to get here, and there was a land bridge to Tassie. Coral Core Drillings show little evidence of charcoal, and evidence, (seeds and leaves) of vast Coniferous Forests some 60,000 years ago. Approximately 50,000 years ago, there is large amounts of charcoal and less evidence of Coniferous Forests. Around 40,000 years ago, there is lots of charcoal, and leaves and seeds of the Dry and Wet Sclerophyll forests, as we know them today. The Aboriginal people learnt to manage these forests. How? They grew up with them and they had to - or die.

They did not have the technology we have to fight fires. So it was a matter of: Burn regularly and often, and over relatively small areas, so it can be controlled. Also, you burn at the correct time, when the fires are easier to control. When you are a nomadic people, you get to know the country and the weather. The Aboriginies did not sit there looking at their TVs or I Pads, they watched the clouds, the forests, and the times of migration of birds, fish, Pippies, and so on. If you needed to cut down a tree, you sang tthe song of the tree first. (One must ask permission of the tree spirits first) The white man comes in with a Chainsaw, and clears the whole bloody forest.

The Climate is surely changing. We are nw entering a climte period which may not be suitable for Homo Sapiens. Congratulations are due. We are in a box seat to see the extiction of a species. In fact, we are (mis?) managing the show. That is only fair. We have caused the extinction of many other species. They among you who think they know all the answers, know nothing. Learn this ancient land, we have only been here couple of hundred years, out of 40,000 known years of its history.

Enjoy the performance....Marum Katze

Hi Marum

I can see that you are going be given a hard time here

The rabble-rouses don't like the truth
The rabble-rouses don't like older, experienced people
The rabble-rouses will not listen or read beyond the headline

But you are wrong when you say it is the white people who cause the problems, many white people know and understand the land, IMHO it is the politicians and lazy bureaucrats who are the cause of the problems

Look at the mess of the Murray–Darling basin where they sold more licenses than the flow of water in the rivers, putting crops on land with a few inches of top soil and every time they plow they lose top soil, overgrazing in Western Australia in the early days ruined the land for at least 100 years, the list of stupid decisions goes on, yes done by white people but authorized by bureaucrats and politicians who do not have a clue about the land.

Some of us "white" people enjoy the beauty and serenity of the bush and can feel at home there

So your real enemies are greedy people of any color and stupid leaders wanting power

From one old bloke to another -- enjoy your posts,
Cheers
