Chris Flannery, aka Captain Bulls*it, is a national disgrace for some of the ridiculous claims he’s made about climate change. One of the most laughable was his prediction just a few years ago that Lake Eyre would never fill again. Since then it’s filled two or three years running from heavy rainfall in the catchment of the Queensland river systems that feed it.
Two years later we broke the record twice in the same week for the coldest winter day on record. Nobody suggested it was proof of climate change or global cooling.
Parts of Britain and the US have in the last five years had their coldest winters on record. Again, nobody screams GLOBAL COOLING, yet they’re quick to say ‘global warming’ when we get a hot summer or two.
Yes I dont mind the warm days, but days like today are too much - 37, or maybe because its just been ongoing.I'm actually enjoying this as soon enough it will be dark and cold for months..........I hate that.

Melbourne has always had a few days hot, then a cool change would come through, freshen it all up, then hot again, I like that. This constant heat is just never ending...
Spring and Autumn would be my favourite, as probably with all
Our winters arent really that cold, I do enjoy the change

I think Melbourne people have it built into them to complain about the weather no matter what, cause normally it is cr@p
Rubbish; it has often been claimed that global warming is contributing to both extremes. In fact said it myself many times and why.
Again, the extra heat creates extra cloud which increases cooler areas where they have not been before and also unseasonal rain and extremes of it too. The more frequent storms and cyclones are all part of these new effects.

It's an industry now and Flannery has to justify his job, so you'll never really know the truth, he only sings from one song book.
bunyip;760028]If we had records going back thousands of years, we’d find that the current weather patterns are just a repeat of what’s happened many times before.
The shorter the time frame over which we view weather patterns, the more likely that we’ll see seemingly abnormal weather events setting new records within that time frame.
Extend that time-frame out by six or eight or ten times, and the so called ‘record’ heatwaves, cold snaps, cyclones, droughts, floods etc. would clearly be no record at all, but rather just a normal part of the huge variation in weather patterns that form our climate.
So, you're using data which is exactly what you would expect if there was no climate change to prove climate change. Great!
cientists have pieced together a picture of Earth’s climate, dating back hundreds of thousands of years, by analyzing a number of indirect measures of climate such as ice cores, tree rings, glacier lengths, pollen remains, and ocean sediments, and by studying changes in Earth’s orbit around the sun. [1]
The historical record shows that the climate system varies naturally over a wide range of time scales. In general, climate changes prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s can be explained by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations. [1]
Recent climate changes, however, cannot be explained by natural causes alone. Research indicates that natural causes are very unlikely to explain most observed warming, especially warming since the mid-20th century. Rather, human activities can very likely explain most of that warming. [1]

Would we, how do you know?
And what of the icecaps breaking up/melting and exposing methane that has been trapped for millions of years now also adding to the increasing temperatures according to general scientific discussion. And I say those last three words because we can only go by our anecdotal observations in these discussions as the so called distortions on which, who or what are right or wrong is buried within the extremes of views. A bit like religion's beliefs. The indoctrinated are unable to think and see for themselves unfortunately. It is why I am so dogmatic about education.
Explod old mate....I’m not even interested in debating you on this one. If you think that records kept for 150 years are proof of anything, then I think you’re kidding yourself.
