That means even eco-maniacs and their ideas won't stop natural fires from happening going forward.

Well wasn't that obvious...

It's not about stopping fires it's about stopping them burning 8,400,000 hectares and lasting for over half a year.

One psycho said the trees will grow back from fire as grass do. Another psycho said that fires in Australia are a God's punishment for legalizing the homosexual marriages. While a psycho-bishop called "ecologism" a "dangerous doctrine against the Bible".

It's dangerous to state that a single happening is due to climate change, yes. Therefore it would be rather problematic to say that we can be 100 % certain that this bushfire seaso is as extreme is due to the climate change. But this is NOT the normal change that is happening. 

Usually it would take the world about 5000 years to get 5 degrees warmer (celcius). Since the industrialisation (that would be about 170 years) it's already up by just above a degree and raising by about 0,2 degrees per decade.  That would mean that we reach 5 degrees in about 200 years at the current pace. 

And even by the tiny risk that the "eco-maniacs" are wrong... What's to lose?

Oh yeah, but whoever listens to that idiot Jedrzejewski? It's such a waste of time. The only people who listen to him are the ones who want to use these words for own political purpose. Environementalism has became political decades ago and negative campaign is obviously standard in politics all across the board.

 

Obviously bushfires in Australia are political as well :lol:

As everything now needs to be controlled by different laws and law is always made by politicians (at least they need to vote for it) every case is political and every protest is called "political" this way.

"Needs"? Says who? Unless you just follow the same bullshit as everyone? I've said before, politicians, journalists and clergymen want to control the masses. They're doing so for centuries. So, whom do you follow personally?

Journalists, because we do not in fact aim to control everyone :wacko:

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
