I accept my own data. I have been paying for electricity for over 50 years. It was nearly all coal and it was cheap and reliable. Now it is woke electricity and it is expensive and we get blackouts. What more data do you need?

The Klimanachrichten article references a ZDF documentary by journalist Johannes Hano, which notes that locals in Tuvalu aren’t fearful of climate change. A 2018 study (Paul Kench, University of Auckland) found that 74 out of 101 of Tuvalu’s islands have remained stable or have actually grown in size, despite an approximate 15 cm rise in sea level over recent decades. This is attributed to coral-derived sediments being washed onto the islands by currents and storms, increasing their area

SWMBO can leave the house for ten minutes o two hours. But you can guarantee that when I let a big one rip, she will walk in immediately afterward.

Coal has been a cheap, reliable source of electricity since the 1920s. What planet do you guys live on?

Of course, I meant to write the temperatures have risen to what they were 1500 years ago.

Friends won a house on the Gold Coast. They moved there but couldn't stand it.

I just read an article a 1,500-year-old reindeer trap that was discovered in the mountains of Norway last year. It says: Increased snowfall during the sixth century reshaped migration routes and limited access to mountain regions. Heavier snowpack extended winter conditions and pushed communities to relocate hunting activity to lower elevations, where herds adjusted more easily. The wooden trap and other objects have been frozen under ice ever since and have just emerged. In this location at least, temperatures have fallen to what they were 1500 years ago.

The union has announced that workers on Vic tunnels will earn up to $360,000 pa. They are proud of their win in negotiation with Jacinta for more of our money.

My comments on the Sabine video. I am just commenting what I understand at present without going back to research and justify each statement. 1 the way CO2 absorbs infrared has been known for well over 100 years. It might or might not be significant in the atmosphere. The arguments against it include atmospheric layering (no glass in the greenhouse walls) and the overwhelming effect of moisture and clouds. 2 Atmospheric CO2 has been increasing since measurements began (since 1982). But we don't know how variable and cyclic it is over longer periods. Ice cores show that it increases after warming, therefore is an effect of warming, and not a cause. 3 Oceans becoming less alkaline (not more acidic!) can be due to volcanic activity which is largely unquantified and much greater than "climate scientists" acknowledge. 4 The additional CO2 in the atmosphere may be from fossil fuels, the isotopic ratio is not proof yet. It can also be from land clearing, volcanism etc. 5 Stratospheric cooling must be considered in relation to the clouds and moisture problem at lower levels. All of my statements can be backed up by scientific papers. There is a lot of debate about them all. It is prudent to say that we don't have the answers at present, that the science is far from settled. The greatest risk to humanity is that we condemn later generations to a world without adequate energy supplies, destroying our industrial capacity and standard of living. Of course this will not happen globally, but at present Australia is out there on its own destroying its infrastructure without having put a substitute in place.

Announcement: the dear leader had an election this morning. We hope this eladicates any confusion.

I still haven’t watched it, just woke up, but you seem to misunderstand the argument. I certainly understand and accept the science behind ACC and believe there is an element of it in our current climate. The evidence says it is probably not a major factor in climate variability and in any case the current approach by our governments will have zero effect while destroying our economy. Climate modelling is unreliable and misleading.

I will watch it. I think she is a very smart lady.
