First two lines show just how idiotic, how irrational this board is. Yes, the Mod can do what he wants within FD’s rules, not saying anything about that, but it is IDIOTIC to have a cooling and a warming thread. There are no sides in science, there is only evidence, theories.

When you started the thread of reports of hot weather I had not posted here for ages nor had any desire to take part in the sillyness of this board. You may have asked me but I have no recollection of you doing so.

I had posted actual evidence of warming, guess Booby deleted all those posts (as he has a right to do, he is Mod) so why the hell would I post more evidence here?

What Booby has posted as “evidence” is just cherrypicked weather reports.

Evidence for warming is in the Critters, Environment, Dicks and Fermentations (LOL!) board—“Intro to AGW” and the “State of the Climate 2018 Report” thread. Those are evidence!

Ooooh, getting butch!

Hi Cods,
Yes - it's been nice without him and it's given
us all a rest - at least until he's back one day soon.

Monk doesn't understand science.

Science is all about different theories and
discussing the validity of the evidence for those theories.
For Monk it's like a footy game where you barrack for one side.
He's very immature.

at long last commonsense might creep in.

Cowards convicted of the worst animal cruelty offences would be banned from owning another animal again — even down to a humble goldfish — under tough new laws being proposed by the state government.

Fines for abusing animals will also increase by eight-fold under the legislation.

Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall will next week introduce the laws, which would see an act of aggravated animal cruelty — such as bashing dogs, drowning cats or torturing horses — attract a $110,000 fine, up from $22,000, including the possibility of two years imprisonment.

People who fail to provide food and shelter will face which will increase from $5500 to

$16,500, and the possibility of six months imprisonment.

Animal welfare groups have welcomed the changes as a strong message to the judiciary that the public wants offenders punished more severely than the current system, which sees most offenders walk free with small fines.

Mr Marshall said the new laws will reflect the fact that for most people, pets “are part of the family”.

“People who commit these offences are without a doubt the worst of the worst people, they are absolute scum,” he said.

“In some cases, these punishments are more than double that in most other states, so when these laws are passed, NSW will have the toughest set of animal cruelty penalties in Australia.”

The RSPCA prosecutes about 100 cases per year for the three main animal cruelty offences, with a conviction rate above 98 per cent. There are more than 14,000 complaints annually.

The number of animal cruelty cases being prosecuted in NSW has steadily increased from about 60 five years ago.

“For the very first time we will be giving powers to the courts to issue an order for an individual from ever owning, caring or even breeding an animal anywhere in NSW,” Mr Marshall said,

Asked if this would prevent repeat offenders from owning a goldfish, he said “yes in theory it literally could”.

RSPCA NSW CEO Steve Coleman said the new laws are an important step in addressing animal cruelty offending.

“RSPCA NSW welcomes the decision to increase penalty amounts in relation to animal cruelty offences,” Mr Coleman said.

“This decision sends a message that the community takes animal cruelty offences seriously and that offenders should expect to be dealt with accordingly in court.”

In 2017 at Waverley Court a man was convicted of animal cruelty after he was caught kicking and repeatedly punching a dog and swinging by its choker chain in an elevator.

The dog’s body was never found. The man was fined $5500. Under the new laws he’d face a $44,000 fine and up to 12 months behind bars.

The crackdown on animal cruelty laws follows last month’s creation of a dedicated unit with the RSPCA to crack down on puppy factories.

In October The Sunday Telegraph revealed the shocking conditions animal hoarders subject creatures to, including a Maltese-Shih tzu that was found with teeth “so rotten that you could smell him a metre away”.



I love it... its so long overdue..
