Wait for it! I can hear the pro-GW crowd now...
Oh, it's another example of weather unpredictablity caused by GW. Yet another clear example of GW..lol
I just wake up to 4 inches of snow cover here in Cheltenham. The neighbors are throwing snowballs at each other. lol
6th April, Mid Spring nearly.
no
ferret you're wrong
you see, it isn't a mono-step rise, whereby one summer it's 14.62degC, and the next it's 14.63 or 14.64 or whatever.
It doesn't work like that.
Furthermore what happens in UK is not representative of Australia, (or the world), is it.
That's not a question, btw, it's a statement.
So why not spend a bit of time observing all the climatic trends happening here in Aus yes?
Now that is a question.
hey ferretLOL! Ha ha.... thank you 2020.. thankyou.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel....... classic....
This was quoted in Tim Blair's blog today. It's by Nigel Lawson in the UK Daily Mail on 5/4/08...
Those who wish to order us how to run our lives, faced with the uncomfortable evidence that economic prosperity is more likely to be achieved by less government intervention rather than more, naturally welcome the emergence of a new licence to intrude, to interfere, to tax and to regulate: all in the great cause of saving the planet from the alleged horrors of global warming ...
People still feel the need for the comfort and higher values that religion can provide; and it is the quasi-religion of green alarmism, of which the global warming issue is the most striking example, which has filled the vacuum, with reasoned questioning of its mantras regarded as little short of sacrilege.
Just about sums it up for me.

btw, maybe spend a moment contemplating that a lot of forest has been cleared this year ( this clock suggests 3.4 thousand hectares)
and a lot of species have been lost (7000 this year ) .
I 'd take those numbers with a couple of kilos of salt -
but rest assured there is a trend to lesser forest, and fewer species yes?
article in the 22Mar08 copy of NewScientist - a real win-win.i think you might be getting a little sidetracked 2020.
we all know forests are getting chopped down. they are also being replanted. as for species becoming extinct, please show me some credible evidence.

titled "Saved? It sounds like a great idea: pay people to stop destroying the rainforest and you'll stave off cliamte change too. "
It goes on to say ..
"reducing deforestation is the cheapest way of cutting global emissions. At about $10 per tonne of CO2 it works out at around half the cost of replacing coal with renewable energy" . etc
buy yourself a copy.
-B-so youve got nothing?
thought so.
I reckon quite a few more would give a hoot if:2020 my friend, don`t you get what the ferret is trying to say?The majority don`t give two hoots.Human way is much talk and little action.Too little too late.It is sad but true and we can only remind people and do conscientious work.
There is the circle of life which we are part of and swept along with little regard for much more than getting money and sex.

Climate change confirmed but global warming is cancelled

Unlike so many of the hapless victims on TVOne's daily Crimewatch (also known as One Network News) I have recently been lucky enough to be in two right places at the right time.
In December last year, at the UN conference in Bali, I heard Viscount Monckton present a paper prepared by himself, the Australian Dr David Evans and our own Dr Vincent Gray (who were at Bali, too) that showed while the IPCC models predict that greenhouse gases would produce an extensive "hot spot" in the upper troposphere over the tropics, the satellite measurements show no such hotspots have appeared.
Monckton and Evans found a large part of this discrepancy is the result of some basic errors in the IPCC's assessment of the Stefan-Boltzmann equation. When they applied their revised factor to the effect of greenhouse gases, the temperature rise was about a third of that predicted by the IPCC.
So by late last year we not only knew IPCC forecasts of atmospheric global warming were wrong.......... FULL ARTICLE
Coober Pedy to get solar power station
February 19, 2008 - 12:42PM
Australia's largest solar power station is to be built at Coober Pedy, in South Australia's mid-north, to provide more than 10 per cent of the city's electricity needs.
Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett said the $7.1 million project would feature 26 solar dishes, each one 14 metres high, to produce 1,860 megawatt hours of power each year.
Coober Pedy was chosen because it is not connected to the electricity grid and gets all its power from diesel generators.
The solar power station will cut diesel use in the town by 520,000 litres, saving 1,500 tonnes of greenhouse gases.
Mr Garrett described the project as groundbreaking and an example of the federal government's commitment to a clean energy future.
The federal government will provide $3.55 million for the station with other funding coming from the state government and private industry.
South Australian Premier Mike Rann said the project would consolidate the state's reputation as a leader in renewable energy initiatives.
