The genius of Senator Matt Canavan.

Right-wing Senator Matt Canavan, a major recipient of donations (bribes) from the coal industry, tweeted that because snow has fallen in winter in parts of New South Wales that do sometimes have snow falls, climate change is a lie!

The reality is, as the climate warms, record-breaking cold weather is becoming less common. And one winter storm does not negate more than a century of human-caused global warming.

I am reminded of a shop I deal with in western Queensland, as part of my work. The shop owner, who owns a property outside of town, told me that his local council area has been drought-declared for the last 12 years. In that time, they had received a total of 28mm of rain, and that mostly occurred in just 2 rain events.

One can picture Canavan visiting, walking outside during 1 of those 2 rain events, and yelling: ‘You’re not in drought. It’s raining!”

Duh!!
