Is the climate changing?

Mike: A bit dry mate.

Danny: Yeah mate, could do with a drop.

Mike: Dry now but we've had good rain. It's La Ninja.

Danny: Yeah. We've had a couple of La Ninja years. Still, could do with a drop now.

Mike: The greenie commos tell us it is climate change but the weather bureau tells us it is La Ninja.

Danny: Mate, I believe in the science from the weather bureau. It is La Ninja and nothing to do with climate change.

Mike: Remember when we used to have days of high 30s and then get into the 40s. We don't get those now.

Danny: We did in the late 2000s. That was bad, you know fires and that and all those people and animals dying. We don't get those days anymore. Is that because of La Ninja? 

Mike: I reckon so. The weather always changes. It's all to do with La Ninja. Nothing to do with climate change mate.

  1. There are far too many Mike and Dannys about. Sadly some of them in positions of power.

  4. Stage direction. Bob - the owner of the cafe grabs Mike's head in his left hand and Danny's head in his right hand then knocks their heads together. "Doubting climate change guys! You must be morons! Don't ever come back in Bob's Cafe. You're not welcome!"

    1. Haha: tough proprietor as opposed to tough customer. (cf https://fromthehighrise.blogspot.com/2023/01/misery-day.html?showComment=1674904493045#c7726018985337384559 )

    3. I will be delighted to play Bob. You can be Mike and Marcellous will be Danny. Don't worry, you can both wear crash helmets during rehearsals!

    1. Same here Dora. Times change but accusing opponents as being communists hasn't.

    1. Strayer, yes. One means floods and the other means droughts. Not great.

  12. What a fool believes, he sees. It made me laugh to read 'La Ninja'. Must be all those healthy people making their smoothies in those Ninjas. They're the ones screwing up the world.
