WA mining magnate Andrew Forrest and his wife Nicola have donated $70 million towards the national bush fire relief and recovery effort.

Andrew Forrest owns a large portion of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (FMG) is an iron ore production and exploration company with assets located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Surely not a person who has made all his money by extracting dreadful minerals from the ground ?

Thankfully if he had not extracted minerals that donation would not have been made.

What do the Greens think about that ?

Bob, what a fantastic donation from twiggy and he certainly didn’t need to do it but don’t forget they are our minerals that have made him rich

Policies of the UEA are often front of mind for me

You didn't give $50? Shocked

no that would be 3.75%, I did my bit with $10 Smile

I gave $100, which is less than 3.75 % of one per cent of my worth, although I do give to other charities throughout the year.

Yeah, think we have got all we are going to get. At least its nice and cool.

Jeez Doc, get with the program.
A bit of rain, nor a cloudy day doesn’t mean the climates not changing.

Even Scotty from marketing admits it’s happening.
Only problem, is the dope thinks the only action we should take is not to mitigate, but to adapt.

Scotty should f**ck off back to Hawaii......

That’s silly Doc.

You really don't know the difference between weather and climate, do you ?

Don't worry. I am here to help....

Climate

What is climate?

Climate is the average measurements of temperature, wind, humidity, snow, and rain in a place over the course of years. Climate is like the weather, but over a long time.

Climate vs. Weather

Climate is different than weather. Weather is changes in the atmosphere that occur on a daily basis. The weather we experience today could be completely different than the weather we have tomorrow.

Climate is a pattern of weather that occurs over a long time such as years and centuries. For example, the climate in an area could be dry in that it rarely rains there. However, on days when it does rain, the weather is rainy for that day. The climate doesn't change, it's still a dry climate.

SC, you are on fire, T, please share that with Greta. Thanks!

Our climate, and our weather, changed today. Thumbs Up

Not over time but instantly.

The climate went from being hot and dry for ages, to flogging down rain and hail.

The weather went from 36 and humid to 27 and cool.
