Resisting Climate Hysteria

Which is why you should always put a surge divertor on the front of your switchboard.

When we next get hit by one of those, it will be messy.

I have been saying this for years now on how Earth traverses around the Sun, the activities of the Sun and the distance Earth is from the Sun at a given time.

So I would say that those 97% of scientist who still preach man made Global Warming are a selected few from 100 scientist.....there are perhaps another 10,000 scientist out there who have a different view but their opinions very often get suppressed.....Scientist like Peter Rid and Bob Carter from JCU Townsville, whom I have met in person on more than one occasions, have that far different view.

Having lived in North Queensland for some 43 years, I only remarked a day or two ago that we have just experienced the longest winter in that time period.....not extremely cold but a longer period.

Yet during the past 20 years the US alone has poured about $US80 billion into climate change research on the presumption that humans are the primary cause. The effect has been to largely preordain scientific conclusions. It set in train a virtuous cycle where the more scientists pointed to human causes, the more governments funded their research.

At the same time, like primitive civilisations offering up sacrifices to appease the gods, many governments, including Australia’s former Labor government, used the biased research to pursue “green” gesture politics. This has inflicted serious damage on economies and diminished the West’s standing and effectiveness in world *affair

This is obviously what we have all been waiting for. The Damoclean prospects are waved away by as if by a Medieval Knight in shining armour. Keep us updated as this new era of scientific 'enlightenment' takes hold.... Hark... Are they reports I hear; from the town cryer and words from the wondrous Gutenberg device and sounds from this strange mercurial magic box.

Ermmmm I am merely trying to point out that global warming/Co2 man made gas blah blah de blah blah is the least of our worries.

If an asteroid hit earth http://www.wimp.com/lifescare/ we are all turned to ash. Happens with quite a bit of regularity apparently. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/4...ing-earth-by-a-hairs-breadth-on-wednesday.htm

Also solar flares are responsible for global warming as well as man made gases http://www.lunarplanner.com/SolarCycles.html

What's that? A village has lost their idiot? To the pitchforks men !

Oh Damn! Another broken promise! Basilio promised us global warming and I was looking forward to it.

Maurice Newman, former head of the Australian Stock Exchange and investment banking executive and the Prime Minister’s adviser on the needs of the business community, has written an opinion piece claiming that we are at serious risk of calamitous climate change.

Given Newman has described the widespread concern with human-induced climate change as a religious belief rather than based on sound science, this might come as a bit of a surprise.

However, Newman believes the risk is not climate change that leads to warming of the planet but rather abrupt cooling. According to Newman there is a scientific and media cover-up at work that is suppressing acknowledgement that work involving the world’s most powerful atomic particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, has validated the hypothesis that, “the sun alters the climate by influencing cosmic ray influx and cloud formation” which overwhelms any influence from greenhouse gases.

Newman suggests that the warm temperatures the Earth has been experiencing in the last few decades are due to unusually active solar activity and this is likely to come to abrupt end, plunging the planet into dangerous cooling

Comments please.

SNIP: The [Australian] Bureau of Meteorology has been accused of manipulating historic temperature records to fit a predetermined view of global warming. Researcher Jennifer Marohasy claims the adjusted records resemble “propaganda” rather than science. Dr Marohasy has analysed the raw data from dozens of locations across Australia and matched it against the new data used by BOM showing that temperatures were progressively warming. In many cases, Dr Marohasy said, temperature trends had changed from slight cooling to dramatic warming over 100 years. –Graham Lloyd, The Australian, 23 August 2014

Would be interested if this is just eastern states or if any WA temperatures are involved.

Dunno, but what matters is that it shows retrospective adjustments. Make of that what you will.

This is the longest winter I have ever known in Townsville during the past 43 years.......24th August and still cold at nights.........guess it must be climate change or what ever they call it now.

Well you have stolen our Winter in Hobart We have a grand total of one weeks Winter from 3 months this year. We are currently going into our second week of 18 degree days in a row! (it should be 13 degrees this time of year ). And the forecast is for another 10 days of it as well. I have never seen anything like it and never has anyone else , really bad news for bushfire season . One dump of snow the whole Winter down here is just completely unheard of, until this Winter( continuation of Summer ) rolled around. If you want to see climate change in action come to Tassie , it's if full swing and it's not even Spring.

It's a conspiracy I tell ya, a conspiracy!

Didn't steal it, you just sent all the cold stuff north to the main isle. We have reciprocated in kind.

Been bloody cold in my neck of the woods, far west NSW, from eldersweather.com.au. Data for August to date.

Min temps: -2.4 °C below avg.
Average this month 4.4 °C
Long-term average 6.8 °C

Max temps: -0.9 °C below avg.
Average this month 16.5 °C
Long-term average 17.4 °C

My gas supplier would be loving this, lucky I've shares in the co.

Yep, can't argue with that. Day after day of blue sky and abnormally warm temperatures sure isn't normal for Hobart at this time of year. It's October weather in August.

There has been quite a bit of rainfall if you look at the total amount. But it has all been in a small number of big dumps, the last one was at the end of July, with other days getting little or nothing. Even on the notoriously wet West Coast it's fine most days.

As for the impacts, well the grass has been growing well at a time when normally it wouldn't, that's one thing. Fires next summer are a real concern if it keeps up given the growth occurring at present that will in due course dry out. The warm weather might be good for tourists though.

Hydro storage levels today are at 32.7%, down from 44.6% this time last year. That doesn't pose any threat to power supply, we're a very long way away from reaching that point, but it would still be nice to have more water coming in. Cloud seeding has been fairly limited this year so far, you can't seed clouds if you don't have clouds in the first place, but there have been 8 flights with seeding conducted since the beginning of May.

They reckon the Middle East will lose close to 200 000 sq kms of arable land by the end of the century. That's a lot of migrating tribes with primitive ambitions in the pipeline..... Antarctica penthouse anyone?

Not much choice for the planet except population reduction. Either man does it or Nature will do it for us.
