Gee, that freakin squatocracy.
They got in early, stole the land and then set up systems to ensure they'd never lose power.
There are some real shockers in Victoria too.
Those western district cultured Australian english speakers are some of the worst.

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink

Ages since I've heard a denier pull out the "no warming since 1998” talking point.
Wish that had been true.
I believe they've moved onto the "too late to act, now we have to use fossil fuels to cope with it" phase or some such crap, as per talking points from the RW think tank.
