[QUOTE="Rove, post: 203200, member: 100"] Yet another actor (Joaquin Phoenix) lending his remarkable talents in a short film called Guardians of Life bashing [I]us [/I]about climate change. To add weight to the theory the world is going up in smoke they've used recent images from Australia's bush fires. Someone should tell Joaquin to open his blinds and take a look at what's happening down the east coast of Australia...much welcome rain...and plenty of it. Why do the producers use extreme weather events to create documentaries pushing climate change? Since the first dawn this planet has suffered extreme weather events. For those unfamiliar with Australia I present to you in part a poem by Dorothea Mackellar.... [CENTER]I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of drought and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror – The wide brown land for me! [/CENTER] The poem was first published in [B][U]1908[/U][/B] and named [I]Core of My Heart[/I] but is now known to all as [I]My Country[/I]. Many Australians can recite this, probably more so than our national anthem. It sums up beautifully what Australia is and has always been. I'm just a little tired of celebrities bashing the broader community about [I]us [/I]having to change [I]our [/I]habits while they still get to indulge their fanciful lives. Bugger off[I]![/I] [/QUOTE]
