Absolutely the bureau of meteorology, they prattle on as if a couple of hot days are the end of the world, just fear mongers thats all, aborigines were forced out of the mungo / willandra lakes region due to climate change ten thousand years ago ... if only they had a carbon tax ;D

Wow! "Leftists" have infiltrated and taken over the CSIRO, and now it's the Bureau of Meteorology that is caught up in this great "leftist" global warming conspiracy. Just how far does this "conspiracy" extend??  So according to you, the BOM "prattles on" that "a few hot days are the end of the world". Let's put up the link again, shall we, so people can judge the "prattle" for themselves ... www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/statements/scs43a.pdf |

Well just have a look at the title of the report for starters. Extreme January heatExtreme January heat?, only if you start weather from when they began taking measurements one hundred years ago but if you took it over a thousand years then it would become ... Normal January heat Weather and climate didn't start 100 years ago, only hysterical climate alarmists believe that  |

It seems to me you didn't get past the title. Mind you it is pretty dense stuff - statistics, tables, data, big words ...  |

The Black Friday fires of 13 January 1939, in Victoria, Australia, are considered one of the worst natural bushfires (wildfires) in the world. Almost 20,000 km² (4,942,000 acres, 2,000,000 ha) of land was burnt, 71 people died, several towns were entirely destroyed and the Royal Commission that resulted from it led to major changes in forest management. Over 1,300 homes and 69 sawmills were burnt and a total of 3,700 buildings were destroyed. It was calculated that three quarters of the State of Victoria was directly or indirectly affected by the disaster. The Royal Commission into the fires was to note, "it appeared the whole State was alight on Friday, 13 January 1939"
In the days preceding the fires, the state capital Melbourne experienced some of its hottest temperatures on record at the time: 43.8 °C (110.8 °F) on 8 January and 44.7 °C (112.5 °F) on 10 January. On 13 January, the day of the fires, temperatures reached 45.6 °C (114.1 °F), which stood as the hottest day officially recorded in Melbourne for the next 70 years. (Unofficial records show temperatures of around 47 °C (117 °F) were reported on the Black Thursday fires of 6 February 1851).[2]
The summer of 1938–39 had been hot and dry, and several fires had broken out. By early January, fires were burning in a number of locations across the state. Then, on Friday 13 January, a strong northerly wind hit the state, causing several of the fires to combine into one massive front.

Earl, re. your #91: Consider this the next time you think you might clinch an argument and place it beyond all possible doubt by a lengthy c & p. In #72 ans again in #85 I posted this website www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/statements/scs43a.pdf which is the link to a "Special Climate Statement", a briefing document from the Climate Information Sevices of the Bureau of Meteorology to the Australian Government on the current weather conditions that Australia is experiencing. It is available publicly as a pdf document at that link. Poor old Garfield couldn't get past the title. In fact he couldn't get past the first bloody word of the title. That's where he stopped. He couldn't go on. If he couldn't get past the first word of the title of a pdf document from a Government body giving objective climate data in the form of statistics, tables, graphs and other data and only saw it as "lefty climate change hysteria", then what makes you think he'd react any differently to graphs, analysis and data that you'd post? You have to accept it mate. You're dealing with a mindset here that doesn't deal in hard data and objective disinterested science. In fact people like Garfield completely reject the correct meaning of "disinterested" which is "not having a personal stake in the outcome" because they don't believe that bodies such as the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology are disinterested! They see these organisations which you & I see as publicly funded bodies that are dedicated to scientific research, as part of a left wing conspiracy to corrupt the nation's youth into becoming (organic) muesli-munching, tree-hugging, Muslim atheist homosexuals. |

When dealing with the likes of Garfield, you experience a feeling of Deja Poo as you know you've heard his crap before.

Well, here's something sure to get Garfies head exploding. No less than the chief economist of the International Energy Agency, is arguing that a price on carbon is necessary www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p012vj1qFatih Birol – Chief Economist, International Energy Agency Availability: 6 days left to listen Duration: 25 minutes First broadcast: Wednesday 09 January 2013 Not so long ago it seemed the world’s addiction to fossil fuels would soon be ended by dwindling supply. But that was before fracking, tar sands and deep sea exploration transformed calculations about global reserves of oil and gas. HARDtalk speaks to Fatih Birol - one of the world’s most influential analysts of the global energy market and its effect on the world economy and environment. Is the resilience of fossil fuel supply a cause for celebration, or despair? =========================== Whats that, you say ? Doesn't Garfy go on about the economy all the time ? Well..... He does, but when, like him, you keep harping on about how the rich are so hard done by, just because society expects them to pay their fair share in taxes, then you realise that garfy is a total economic illiterate. |

AGW is not about temperatures, as such. Its about Extreme weather events and their frequencies. Last year, and the year before, we had unprecedented flooding; this year unprecedented heat.
Are we starting to get it yet?

Yep I get it, normal weather events that have been occurring for thousands of years are now being reclassified as abnormal weather events in order to rort and tax ... gotcha  |
