There are so many caveats that should be added to that article, that it's ridiculous. In any case, hardly a harbinger of ecological catastrophe now is it?
It is closer then you think. You skeptics can try to make fun of climate change but after reading the article in the Australian below, you may also start believing in the fast approaching horrors of climate change.

I think there may be also some of the missing science there for Professor Ian Plimer. I hope he reads it and stops reprinting his book.

Truth is a funny thing. There are many who think bananas are apples.Quotes from "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" first published in 1841:
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
"Of all the offspring of Time, Error is the most ancient, and is so old and familiar an acquaintance, that Truth, when discovered, comes upon most of us like an intruder, and meets the intruder's welcome."

Nothing ever changes.

At this time, it's an interesting and uncontroversial demonstration of an isolated population adapting to local environmental change.

And from causes totally unlinked to man or jovians.At this time, it's an interesting and uncontroversial demonstration of an isolated population adapting to local environmental change.
But in hindsight, it might well be a harbinger of ecological catastrophe. A clue, a straw in the wind, a small signal of looming disaster. If only somebody had realised in time... Oh wait. That's us, and this is the time.

Ah yes, the Jovians. The changes in the visible surface of Jupiter are fascinating - and beautiful, for what that's worth. This item from the University of California is the closest I've been able to get to a discussion that's both informed and comprehensible.And from causes totally unlinked to man or jovians.
About 20 years ago, Marcus developed a computer model showing how the Great Red Spot emerged out of and endured in the chaotic turbulence of Jupiter's atmosphere. His efforts to explain the dynamics governing it and other vortices on Jupiter led to his current projection of the planet's impending climate change...
...Marcus approaches the study of planetary atmospheres from the untraditional viewpoint of a fluid dynamicist. "I'm basing my predictions on the relatively simple laws of vortex dynamics instead of using voluminous amounts of data or complex atmospheric models," says Marcus.
Marcus says the lesson of Jupiter's climate could be that small disturbances can cause global changes. However, he cautions against applying the same model to Earth's climate, which is influenced by many different factors, both natural and manmade.
"Still, it's important to have different 'labs' for climate," says Marcus. "Studying other worlds helps us better understand our own, even if they are not directly analogous."
The glib excuse for an ex politician Al Gore is being given soft questions on the 7.30 report (what a surprise), as I write.
The ABC assume that what he says is gospel and do not seem to give any airtime or credence to those who believe in Weather. They give him patsy questions for the answers they want. What a waste of airtime.
Its just not fair.
Al Gore, still looks and sounds like a Jovian joke.

Yep, whenever you see Heather Ewitt doing the interviewing, you may as well leave the room. She only ever does the really soft stuff where all the questions and answers are pre-arranged. Gore really gives me the pip.The glib excuse for an ex politician Al Gore is being given soft questions on the 7.30 report (what a surprise), as I write.

When I hear him speak, have to admit, I do get the urge to go out & melt some ice just to smite him!!

Yes, I saw that. It is difficult to believe that anyone could give credibility to this idiot. He keeps harping about the overwhelming scientific evidence to support his nonsense theories on global warming. If I remember correctly Hitler had overwhelming support for his equally dangerous theories.
It's all about controlling the masses with propaganda.

Every time I see him, I remember that shot of his house - a mansion with every room in the house glowing with lights.
I suppose at least we can be grateful that he failed in his bid for the presidency.

Lets hope ole Steve Fielding puts it upem when the vote comes down as to whether ( excuse the pun ) we spend billions on carbon taxes while Kevin Ludd's mates in China laugh their heads off and go, go, go, industrially after they've squeezed all the info out of poor old Steven Hu.

Do young have the will to make climate change sacrifices
THE prevailing attitude among young people today continues to be "do as we say, not as we do" when it comes to saving their planet.
Yesterday, the biggest youth climate change conference Australia has ever seen wound up in Sydney.
The likes of Al Gore lined up to inspire thousands of young people to discover their inner Captain Planets and solve the climate crisis.
The sentiment was noble but the focus unclear. Young people don't need to be persuaded of the climate crisis. Poll any group of people, young or old, and a majority will talk of their passion to live in a greener world.
But ask that same group how much they drive, or fly, or how many children they intend to have and you'll be amazed.
It simply doesn't add up.
