Good old *Stuff & Nonsense* are beating the climate emergency drum as loud as they can. One has to wonder what financial inducements there are behind this *Stuff & Nonsense* campaign for them to be so hard out on the climate crises and so low on facts and reality.

For example, a church being drowned by the rising sea levels. An emergency? A crisis? No. **Nothing to do with the climate whatsoever.**

For this congregation, it is absolutely a crisis and it is absolutely man-made but it is **absolutely nothing to do with CO** **2** **.**

This photo taken on January 11, 2019 shows a chapel amid encroaching bay waters in Sitio Pariahan, Bulacan. Areas north of Manila like the provinces of Pampanga and Bulacan **have sunk four-six centimetres (1.5-2.4 inches) a year since 2003**, according to satellite monitoring. Noel CELIS (AFP/Noel Celis)

No wonder *Stuff* will not allow comments on any climate ‘crisis’ article.
