Mercer Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Hua Guofang said: So it's unusually warm for this time of year, record breaking? Nevermind, holy shit: Quote December 16th, 2019: Australia is sweltering under record-breaking temperatures as an extreme heat wave continues to sweep across the country, causing wildlife to die and fruit to cook from the inside out. The past four days are in Australia's top ten warmest days on record, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said in a tweet on Wednesday, with all of the country's eight states and territories affected. South Australia's Port Augusta hit a scorching 48.5 degrees Celsius (119 F) on Tuesday, the highest since records began in 1962, according to CNN affiliate Nine News. The town of Tarcoola in South Australia reached a sweltering 49 C (120 F). Elsewhere, temperatures stayed well above 40 C (104 F) and the hot weather is expected to last until Friday. One town in northwestern Australia, Marble Bar, suffering through 22 consecutive days of temperatures above 40 C, at one point almost reaching 50 C (122 F).

Hua Guofang Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Animals are starting to desert their young in the thousands because they’re too week to care for them due to the heat, drought and bushfires. things are a bit grim here in places. My town is brown and dead-like right now. Even the weeds are dying. Can’t remember the last time it rained for more than a couple of minutes.

Kults Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Quote '97% Of Climate Scientists Agree' Is 100% Wrong https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexepstein/2015/01/06/97-of-climate-scientists-agree-is-100-wrong/#5044543f3f9f @Fist 666 Quote Where did most of the 97 percent come from, then? Cook had created a category called “explicit endorsement without quantification”—that is, papers in which the author, by Cook’s admission, did not say whether 1 percent or 50 percent or 100 percent of the warming was caused by man. He had also created a category called “implicit endorsement,” for papers that imply (but don’t say) that there is some man-made global warming and don’t quantify it. In other words, he created two categories that he labeled as endorsing a view that they most certainly didn’t. Quote The 97 percent claim is a deliberate misrepresentation designed to intimidate the public—and numerous scientists whose papers were classified by Cook protested: “Cook survey included 10 of my 122 eligible papers. 5/10 were rated incorrectly. 4/5 were rated as endorse rather than neutral.” —Dr. Richard Tol “That is not an accurate representation of my paper . . .” —Dr. Craig Idso “Nope . . . it is not an accurate representation.” —Dr. Nir Shaviv “Cook et al. (2013) is based on a strawman argument . . .” —Dr. Nicola Scafetta Think about how many times you hear that 97 percent or some similar figure thrown around. It’s based on crude manipulation propagated by people whose ideological agenda it serves. It is a license to intimidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 @Kultswill respond this weekend. I hesitated replying initially as I do not have any free time at all.

Kults Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Don't feel you have to If don't feel like it, no rush. I do find it interesting though. Here's a BBC doc about Climate Change, or Global Warming like we called it in '07. It's a little dated now but the production value is pretty good and the interviews are solid. Still relevant to the current debate society is having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just posting in here as it's weather relevant, not claiming either way a connection to CC - if you can compare this map to a know distance, give it a go. These are just two of 70-something fires burning in Australia at the moment - I belive that fire in the Wollemi National Park is as big as the Andomeda galaxy (posted a pic beloe for size comparison): 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
