Eco-wackos tell us that coal is killing the planet. In fact, they tell us that it is causing global warming that is, in turn, causing a drought that is, in turn, causing the entire continent of Australia to dry up and blow away.
News.com.au has details for any droughting Thomases among you:
The massive Queensland coal industry is at a standstill as flooding shuts mines, rail lines and ports.
The flooding is causing at least $2 billion in lost production for the industry – source of more than half the world’s seaborne trade in the commodity.
That’s right. Coal is causing global warming. Global warming is causing the greatest drought in Australian history. So Mother Gaia is getting her revenge by causing torrential downpours which have caused massive flooding that closed down this Australian coal mine.
Yes, of course, drought and torrential rain seem contradictory to us – the unwashed and the uninformed – but they’re not. Truth is, we’re just not smart enough to understand the power and logic and really nasty temperament of Mother Gaia.
The old lady’s a bitch.
