I reckon you are RIGHT. Nev PPPPPP.=s Proper planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. I thought I'd slip that one in for Posterity. Nev.

So we can't accurately predict it so we do Nothing about the causes? That's a specious argument Climate changes effects are already Immense and costly. The longer we delay the More the Damage. The country making the Most effective effort is China. Guess who's doing the worst effort.? People like Putin and Trump and their Imitators. Nev

I actually agree with part of that—climate models aren’t perfect and we can’t predict everything precisely. But I don’t think ‘not perfect’ means ‘not useful’. We rely on models all the time that aren’t perfect—weather forecasts, engineering safety margins, even things like flood risk or insurance. Also, climate models aren’t just time-series extrapolations like stock prices. They’re based on physical processes—things like how greenhouse gases trap heat, fluid dynamics in the atmosphere, etc. So it’s not just projecting a line forward. For me it comes back to the question: I’m not in a position to evaluate the models myself, so I look at how well they’ve performed and what the broader scientific community thinks of them. If those models were fundamentally unreliable, I’d expect to see that reflected in the consensus of the people working in the field. .

The climate IS changing. It is changing now more rapidly than it did 100 years ago. But that does not mean we can predict the future climate. Our historical records are limited and compromised, and we don't have computer models that can predict the future. In fact, it is a limitation of all time-series-based models that you cannot extrapolate very far beyond the end of the data set. This is true even for something as simple as stock market prices, and the climate is vastly more complicated.

Humbug is correct.

That's misleading. It's accepted by Most who study it that the Climate IS changing and Sea temps are rising and ICE is Melting . NEW temp Records are constantly being set. The NEW normal is more extreme weather events, melting Permafrost More severe cyclones going further from the equator than before. Habitat for penguins and Polar Bears etc .diminished significantly. Atmospheric .CO2 constantly rising. Nev

Hanson is on record saying that "the Speaker of the Senate has NO CONTROL over HER." Is THAT OK? What a great example to set. She thinks she can get away with anything.. Nev

All quiet on the eastern front, whilst we wait with bated breath for a new comic episode from the failed reality show star.... "He picked this fight. He chose the timing. He set the rules of engagement. He called it a triumph. And now his only two exits are a war he cannot win and a deal he cannot sell."

Gina may support ON a lot but they are all owned by someone, to the extent they get jobs after politics in fields they use to oversee. ON is not special, just gets a bit more attention because the major partys are feeling a bit threatened.

Damn. A bitter pill to swallow. To think the tangerine todder gets credit for doing something good, even though he didn't mean to.

Meanwhile the US blockade of the strait is going bigly.... " The Boat Called HUGE While the spam tin emperor was on Truth Social on Friday composing love letters to his own competence, an Iranian VLCC supertanker called HUGE, that is the actual name, capital letters and all, loaded 1.9 million barrels of crude worth nearly 220 million bucks, switched off its transponder, hugged the coasts of Pakistan and India, drifted past Sri Lanka, threaded the Lombok Strait, and is now steaming for China with its destination port already on the manifest. This happened during what the Trump administration has repeatedly called the most successful naval blockade since the Cuban Missile Crisis. 21 warships. 3 carrier strike groups. Over 100 aircraft. 10,000 personnel. The largest US naval deployment since 2003."

Drove a Tesla model Y?. Probably the most powerful car I've driven. 4WD is a cool thing. If I lived 50km closer to the city, it would be a no brainer to get an electric car. see a lot on the open roads between Port Augusta and Port Lincoln.

It sems that all is not doom and gloom. Trump will go down in history as the creator af a new World Order. A new World Order based on cooperation amongst Nations for the good of all peoples. That new World Order will have the USA as an orbiting satelite.

I know you guys have no time for Channel 7's Spotlight program, but last night, they did a report on Sovereign Peoples Assembly of Western Australia, and other Sovereign Rights groups., with a female reporter, not Liam Bartlett. Normally these groups have no time for the media. You talk about ironic. There was one woman who flatly refused to comply with police and their directions as "they have no authority over me." But guess who she called on when she was being "pestered" by the media. Another leader, a woman, said they don't believe that Dezi Freeman shot the two police, because "there has been no court case to prove it actually happened". They also claim they don't have to pay for drivers licences or registration as the state has no authority over them, and they say the police cannot stop them driving on public roads. In Perth they have self appointed Sheriffs who go around enforcing their rules and regulations. The reporter went with them when they served a "summons" on a pharmacist for genocide, for supplying Covid vaccines. Mad as hatters.

Another fun read, this time specifically about the current Middle East unpleasantness. https://ifloz.substack.com/p/israels-fafo-phase-has-arrived-on?publication_id=7671401&post_id=196305427&isFreemail=true&r=tosdr&triedRedirect=true

The USA has been on Israel's side since Day-1 if the State of Israel. At the birth of the State of Israel, the Middle East was territory overseen by the British and French under United Nations mandates. The USA shouldn't have had anything to do with things there.

Warning.... this is not Middle east related. In this new age of infowars, I struggle to find a positive voice. But I stumbled on this guy - although usually very caustic, he's a great source of similies. "The Accidental Unifier: How a Tangerine Wrecking Ball Glued the Fucking Planet Back Together" https://ifloz.substack.com/p/the-accidental-unifier-how-a-tangerine

These baby videos are so funny.

That's ironic. Isn't one of their beliefs that governments should have no control over the individual?

You worry about PHON, and rightly so, but she's not the only one. Read up on Australia One Party and the Sovereign Peoples Assembly of Western Australia.

Pyrrhus was more successful because at least he had a victory. So far Trump has only achieved a Pyrrhic defeat.

The past climate tells us that the future climate will be variable and is unpredictable, at least to our understanding. The drivers of climate include subsea volcanism, solar variation, the path of the solar system and so on. We understand some of it, particularly its cyclic nature, but are a long way from predicting the future climate.

Absolutely vote how you like. Just be aware of who owns the party you're voting for. They will be doing HER will, not yours or any other "Traditional Aussies".
