Official Match Thread S28 Second Preliminary Final - Mount Buller Demons v Sin City Swamprats @ Snow Dome (MOTR)

[Far Kern]

10 overs (About 6 faced, against mostly pace which I'm shit at facing) Batting at 7 cause of my ankle. My partners kept on falling, I just blocked and left. Did push a few to mid on but was very conservative.

We finished 9/233 odd just getting a draw due to bad light

Six balls or overs?

Good stuff.

Thought this was not bad - I can think of a few people I'd like to say it to:

Somewhere out there is a tree, tirelessly producing oxygen so you can breathe. I think you owe it an apology.

If it's in NSW it is probably on fire, so I can't imagine an apology is going to affect it one way or the other.

Thoughts and prayers might though.

Thoughts and prayers are appreciated and generous unless it’s a public official like PM Top Bloke.

Did Yakker give the Maldives side a pre-game pep talk?

I was most surprised that akkaps hadn’t found himself a way to be a Maldives chick.

 

[Far Kern]

Yep. It's pretty ******* desolate, in an attempt to just do as much as I possibly can, I've joined the board for the Victorian School Strike for climate team (A group of around 30 Victorian students who organise advertising, strikes and campaigns against climate change). Regardless of your age or what you have on, we're running a global strike early next year (Probably around March/April) come along to it and put pressure on the government for action. The more students, the better. The more workers and adults, even better. We need a wide range of people and we need to show that we really care

The chance of staying below 1.5 C now is gone. Young people are screwed.

Nup.

Thoughts and prayers. That's the limit of the Prime Minister. He seems incapable of doing anything else.

well yes... I am certain he reaches some ecstatic state on Sundays when he speaks in tongues

Not true, we have 11 years at current emissions rates. We have to act fast. Tragically, it's improbable, but not impossible

 

[moginie]

If only that ecstatic state could continue for the rest of the week in being truthful to the Australian public. Evidently truthfulness is supposedly a Christian trait.

Here we go!!!

Do you understand how climate systems work?

It’s not linear. One plus one plus one does not equal three.

What we know from the climate record is that there are tipping points. We know that the climate jumps between states.

Imagine a block of wood. Cut down into that wood two circles so that they slightly overlap. A figure eight with a small gap. It is easy to imagine that you could roll a ball around in the top circle and skip across that gap. It is easy to imagine that you could keep doing that forever.

Make the slightest change though, and that ball could skip into the other circle. Once there you have something entirely different. Keep rolling the ball in the same way as before, have something else.

Unless you get incredibly lucky you can’t go back. If you pop through again you get yet another new state.

That is where we are now. Anything, but not what we have.

I like the name of that Bangladesh sheila with the surname Sultana - after an innings like that, I bet she's the currant number one ranked player .

True, however, we can significantly cut man made emissions, causing to a slow yet gradual decline of the enhanced greenhouse effect, and with a bit of luck and proper clean energy schemes which include the removal of pre-existing emissions (Which is possible and the removal of Carbon from the atmosphere is a natural process) we can start to gradually stabilise the climate

The situation is far worse than is currently accepted. Much has already happened that can not be turned around. There are built in delays, such as the heating of the oceans, that will result in change. You can’t just invent Fusion Reactors and pull CO2 from the atmosphere. That’s the point. You’ve already gone to a different place.

And that’s assuming that many other melting points haven’t already started. Which they have.

Mummy won’t be happy if I bring a Mulla girl home.

Mummy won’t be happy if I bring a Mulla girl home.

Because she’s better at cricket than you?

Recently I met a terrific young doc who is completing specialisation in infectious disease. After chatting for a while I asked her why she had chosen this specialisation. Her two word response was "climate change". She then rattled off numbers about the emergence of diseases in parts of the world where such conditions were not known ... malaria and yellow fever in some now wetter areas, increased incidence of respiratory conditions in areas experiencing dryer conditions.

In Darwinian terms we are the victims of our own success as a species. Frankly there are way too many of us trundling around the planet.

Hundreds of years from now if there are still historians they may scour public policy to find measures from this era that contributed to the possibility of life. I can think of only one policy from our our era that future historians will look kindly on - the One Child Policy In China. It cut exponential popln growth in that country.

My father was pretty much the best molecular biologist in the world for 25 years. He laid the groundwork for current Malaria research.

As he got old and sick you have no idea how many times he told me what happens to population curves that seem to go ever upwards. They always smash downwards.

Did we win?
