England has it coldest summer in 18 years

The carbon dioxide levels go up every year. The IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) forecasts show that the world should be warming more and more, yet observation does not match those computer models.

England has had its coldest summer since 1993, with an average temperature of 15C. The normal average is 17C. This is not just the odd cold day, this is a entire season. Last December was the coldest December in 120 years in the UK.

Is it just possible that the climate scientists have their computer models wrong? The latest CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) experiments at CERN show what some climate change sceptics have been saying for years, that Cosmic Rays effect cloud formation. This means that the existing computer models for cloud formation are wrong, and that the sun can have a bigger input on the earth’s atmosphere than previously thought.

However our Prime Minister Julia Gillard says the science is settled.

Just maybe this object 140 million kilometres away, may have more influence of the climate than man made carbon dioxide

Climate Change Commission increases the scare-mongering

The Climate Commission headed by Professor Tim Flannery is not making much headway with its support of its employers carbon tax, the Federal Government Labor/Green alliance. So today Tim Flannery is spruiking the Department of Climate Change report Climate Change Risks to Australia’s Coasts. It made the South Australian news as Tim Flannery and his Climate Commission are visiting the incredibility unpopular Premier Mike Rann, who is working hard to make sure South Australians pay even more for electricity.

The report is claiming 43,000 houses in South Australia will be under water before the end of the century.

The problem is the Australian public is not listening. So what to do? Lets fall back on what we have been doing for the last 20 years, lets scare-monger. Lets make the future even more horrible. Lets find the worst possible scenario and build on that. Its got to scare people into seeing sense, doesn’t it?.

Here is are example from the report on South Australia. The upper end of the IPCC projection for sea level change for 2100 is 79 cms. However it could be as low as 20cms. However that’s not very scary is it? How can we improve on that?

Well you make it even higher and project it up to 1.1 metres, and then do your damage assessment on that projection way past the highest sea level IPCC projection.

Now that’s sounds much scarier doesn’t it?

Its just the continuation of the last 20years. If people don’t think the way we want them to, lets just keep inventing even scarier scenarios….

Will the Adelaide CBD look like this projection of New York in 100 years?

Bob Brown wants you to forget what he said.

Australian Green Senator Bob Brown wants you to forget what he said in 2007. He wants you to forget that he said that he wanted the coal industry shut down. He was quite happy in 2007 to have tens of thousands of jobs lost, whole towns wiped out, support industries shut down.

He said in 2007 ” Last week, I called on whoever wins office at this year’s election to commit to a plan to phase out coal exports”. He was quite happy to retrench the 28,000 people that work in the coal industry plus the thousands of other workers who support the coal industry. He was quite happy for Australia to forgo the billions of dollars in export income from the coal industry.

However in 2011, Senator Bob Brown seems to have forgotten what he said. He now claims it was an invention of the evil Murdoch press. The transcript of a press conference he had:

INTERVIEWER: That $11 billion that you’re talking about is money that he would forego in the mining tax, and I noticed you started your budget and reply speech just there. How would you replace the $50 billion a year in export income which comes by way of coal – an industry that you’d shut down?

BROWN: Well, a lot of that money is bouncing straight back out to shareholders overseas. Now what we’re…

INTERVIEWER: A lot of that money is circulating in the economy. It’s creating job, Senator, it’s bouncing through to our cities.

BROWN: Yes, Chris, and what we would do is take the advice of the Treasury of this nation and recoup the $145 billion over the next 10 years through a super profits tax. Tony Abbott says…

INTERVIEWER: But you can’t recoup it if you shut the industry down.

BROWN: Treasury…

INTERVIEWER: If you shut the coal industry down there won’t be that money…

BROWN: I’m sorry…

INTERVIEWER: ..available to you.

BROWN: I’m sorry, Chris, Treasury has no intention to shut the industry down. it tends to- it tends…

INTERVIEWER: No, but you do.

BROWN: No, I’m not.

Another Climate Change evangelist also wants to shut the coal industry down, none other than Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery. Flannery said in 2007 that is was no longer socially acceptable for Australia to be exporting coal.

Tim Flannery appointed Climate Commissioner

Yet another climate change committee

The Federal Labor/Green alliance government, not content with wasting the taxpayers money on the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, is going to waste another $5.6 million dollars on a Climate Commission headed by Tim Flannery. This Commission according to Minister Greg Combet “It will provide expert advice on climate change science and impacts” . Well read on to see some of Tim Flannery’s previous “expert advice on climate change”:

That is Tim Flannery with no qualifications in Climate Science, he has a doctorate in Palaeontology.

This is the Tim Flannery that said in 2005 that droughts could leave Sydneys Dams dry in just two years.

The Tim Flannery that said that most climate skeptics were men over 65.

The Professor Tim Flannery that said in 2008 “The water problem is so severe for Adelaide that it may run out of water by early 2009.” (Adelaide’s Dams are almost full)

The Tim Flannery who said in 2007 that “Sydney and Brisbane, water supplies are so low they need desalinated water urgently, possibly in as little as 18 months”. No desal plant is being used anywhere, because all the three cities have too much water in their Dams.

The Tim Flannery who said in 2004 that “I think there is a fair chance Perth will be the 21st century’s first ghost metropolis” . Ten years into the 21st Century, Perth is still there.

The Tim Flannery who said in 2008 (three years ago) that “in five years there’ll be no Arctic ice cap“. Well the Arctic Icecap is still there, but Tim Flannery says there is only two years left.

Tim Flannery who said in 2007 ” I think it’s too late for debate now”, and have no doubt that Tim Flannery wants a Carbon Tax, he said in 2007 “Carbon tax is the way forward” , so much for the ‘independence’. Tim Flannery is just a propagandist for the Labor Government.

Its an indication of how much this Labor Government is out of touch with the people, that they somehow think the appointment of a serial alarmist and exaggerator will be a PR positive.

UPDATE: Tim Flannery was interviewed the next day (11/2/11) on 891 Adelaide by Ian Henschke. Three times Ian Henschke asked him “are you a climate scientist”, and three times Tim Flannery squirmed and evaded the question. Tim Flannery gets $180,000 per year for a part time job, and he is not even a climate scientist.

The "Independent" Climate Commission

2010 was the third wettest year on record in Australia

admin — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:33:11 +0000

The Bureau of Meteorology has announced that 2010 was the 3rd wettest year on record (since 1900) . As well it was Australia’s coolest year since 2001. It was not too many years ago (2007) that the Bureau of Meteorology was telling us that Global Warming meant “climate projections that foreshadow general drying across southern Australia”.

It was also not long ago that the adherents to the Climate Change religion were predicting “long-term climate change” in Australia. Tim Flannery said in 2005 “ongoing drought could leave Sydney’s dams dry in just two years”. Sydney’s dams are now at their highest levels for six years.

South Australian Premier Mike Rann said in 2006 that we were in a 1 in a 1000 year drought, and after spending $1.83 billion dollars on a desal plant, Mike Rann is now looking to moth-ball the desal plant because Adelaide dams are full, and Adelaide’s rainfall in 2010 was 50 mm above average.

So does Climate Change cause more droughts or more rain?

More Tim Flannery Hyperbole

Professor Tim Flannery speaking on ABC Radio Darwin here, interviewed by a fawning ABC announcer, makes more way out comments about Climate Change.

He says that most Climate Change skeptics are “men over 65″. This is contracticted by this Galaxy Poll here that shows that two thirds of the population now do not believe that humans cause climate change. Perhaps that two thirds of the population are men over 60?
