I can't believe you don't like First Dog On The Moon. I thought it was hilarious.

I just feel like everytime I click on a Guardian link I lose a few brain cells. With alcohol and ageing, I don't have as many to spare as I used to.

Yep. Funny how different everyone's humour is. I dont find that cartoon funny. There ya go.

I think, the links here. From the 16th of May, just over 5 weeks ago, to what has since transpired in rainfall over the SW, shows just how ignorant these 'experts' are in their field of weather and climate.

Since the dier picture they so confidently described, rainfall across WA has been quite extrodinary.

Perth - 177mm (June avg 126) still raining now, withe the forecasters predicting up to another 50mm for the month. How much confidence can you take from that though.... :roll:

Bickley - 253mm (In the hills catchment area)

Good points Stui.

I think Australia is also backward when it comes to the topic of nuclear power. Australia remains the only G20 country to not use nuclear power in any capacity.

This utopia that Australia will transition to 100% renewables one day and have reliable baseload power is delusional.

@ Jezza

Unless some really transformative tech comes along, I agree.

Doesn't mean we're stuck with coal though, we have huge reserves of natural gas which is far cleaner than coal and should be the transition step.

We also have a shitpile of uranium, so nuclear should be considered.

Australia wouldn't be building a reactor using 1970s Soviet technology.

Maybe not but that doesn’t mean it would be failsafe. Or terrorist proof. The result of eithervare absolutely terrifying. Hiroshima on steroids.

Also, my understanding is that "chernobyl" is a mini series, not a documentary and takes some...poetic licence with the facts
