ALTHOUGH most of us understand climate change which has been changing for millions of years – or should that be billions? – lots of us don’t believe the reasons of the scaremongering of the Greens, misled activists and some scientists with motive.

How many known Ice Ages have we had? Four or more?

So does that mean our climate has changed four times? Sounds logical to me.

And this is precisely why people have difficulty believing their misguided or motivated rhetoric .

VERN SCRIMSHAW, GOLD COAST

THERE is indeed an Evil Empire just to our north, as you describe.

Angry, and it is the Seat of Power of Daffy Duck and The Poison Dwarf who want the Gold Coast to remain as is, just as a residential reservoir serving their glittering City Of Dreams on their brown river.

If brown can glitter.

They might even expand the Kamakazi M1 Highway, the better to hasten the GC slaves toiling up to their salt mines every day.

They certainly do not want manufacturing or industrial development on the Gold Coast.

So no new cheap rent, tax holiday, industrial or manufacturing estates on the GC taking jobs away from their flood-prone El Dorado.

Certainly no cruise ship terminals or anything else exciting, apart from the one-trick-pony of tourism which lives in fear of a pilots’ strike, international mayhem, or economic disaster.

More than a dozen cranes operating on the Gold Coast will spread

panic in their El Dorado on the River.

Regional Queensland comes a long way down the list when innercity Green votes must be considered to keep a few political posteriors in cozy comfort.

The stock-in-trade look of ‘perpetual sorrow and concern’ in yellow hi-viz will not save the Duck come the Elections.

I WAS a little saddened to read of Mr Informer’s decision to retire.

I have read a number of his amusing articles and have had a good laugh from them.

So if I may I would like to echo some of the other scribes in the

Bulletin and wish him and Mrs Informer all the best in retirement.

Also I would like to see a few more articles and maybe letters to the editor about the G: link tram system.

This is partly out of general interest and a touch of selfishness. I cut them out of the Gold Coast Bulletin and other sources and collect them (a hobby).

PHIL WALLIS, GOLD COAST

SO on Thursday morning at 7.30am at the start of peak-hour traffic, just as Gold Coasters are heading off to start their working day in the Brisbane CBD, again radical protesters from Extinction Rebellion are going to move into Brisbane.

They will cause havoc and harm to average working men and women who live on the Gold Coast and have to travel a long distance each day to feed their families.

This group who is only one arm of the anti-Adani/Green protest movement who intend disruption on August 6 and August 9 has made it clear that these protests that target innocent working people

are not to close the mine, it is not to get government to change its mind, it is purely so these people can get on television and in the papers.

Why do they want that – so they can push their climate change agenda.

I do not work in Brisbane but I know many others, friends and family, who do.

I know that any disruption to incoming peak-hour traffic into the CBD could result in innocent people being trapped on the roads for many hours.

I believe it is time we made it clear that we will not be used as a tool for some Green run radicals to get their faces on TV so they can sit in a coffee shop and gloat to their mates, “see that’s me”.

Let us see if our new police commissioner is as weak as the last when it comes to dealing with people who announce they are out to harm the innocent public.

RON NIGHTINGALE, BIGGERA WATERS

WHILE fans felt sad to watch Ash Barty lose, they must surely be over the moon with her performances over recent months (GCB, 9/7).

Not many journeys to be No.1 in women’s tennis have been so rapid, and, dare I say it, almost under the radar.

She admits she got a few things wrong against Alison Riske yet is optimistic about her future.

Forever the good sport, she commented that “Alison played better today. Tough one to swallow but I lost to a better player”.

Humble as a winner, gracious as a loser, defines our Ash.
