You talk about so called climate change. My mother was raised on a farm out Western NSW. She can remember droughts, no water in the tanks and having to walk down to the river and fill old kerosene tins up with muddy water and walk it back to the homestead. No power, no fridges, no tv etc and yet they didn't think they were hard done by, they accepted it for what it was and got on with life. Nowadays the kids are whingeing when their phone goes flat and Mum's late picking them up in an air conditioned car! Can't blame em' I suppose, we've just spoilt them too much. Every new generation gets it materially easier than the last, but ends up with new challenges to face.
