By Lyn Bender, published 11/3/2013

But this summer is the hottest ever recorded. It is part of the predicted trajectory of global warming.

Pity the author of this piece has such a poor grasp of the topic. Quoting other alarmists is a poor alternative to substance. I presume the book she is working is in the genre of fiction.

I can only agree with CARFAX. The author simply repeats the same old material, without realising that climate alarmism is now more than 20 years old. The first IPCC report was in 1990, swith the first warnings well before that, and the actual changes that anyone can point to for all that time still count as tiny.

My understanding about the "hottest summer on record" is that it, if this is true (there has been some quibble that "the records" only go back 30 years - although they have been recording temps for much longer than that in Aus), we are not talking about a large margin.. perhaps a tiny gain over over hot summers. And this is over decades.

Lyn, don't be disturbed by the myopia of the population concerning climate change. Most human are so dumb that they can't/won't see what is happening before their eyes. A tsunami could be hanging hundreds of metres over their heads and they would deny its existence! When it fell on them they'd say, "Blimey, that was a heavy shower!"

They are exactly the same regarding the attempt by the U.S. to dominate the world using military force. They can't see that that deranged mission will lead to a nuclear holocaust as other nations rightly reject the American grab for control of the world and its resources.

The claim that humans are intelligent is entirely misplaced. Most humans are as thick as two bricks and as wise as a bent nail!

To the author and David G
Stop pretending you haven't been thrashed and beaten on this subject so many times, and so badly, your appeals to absent authority and endless circular reasoning are now a bad joke. Obviously your methodology not being rational, it cannot be scientific. But perhaps your blind religious worship of fraudulent authority may become true if you keep gabbling your liturgy?

The author obviously subscribes to the same school of agitprop as her fellow psychologist, Lewandowsky, does; see:

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/03/09/stephan-lewandowsky-and-john-cook-making-things-up/

That is if you have no evidence and in fact all the evidence is against your paranoic world view, resort to emotion and making things up.

AGW is a failed theory. There was nothing unusal about the bushfires in Australia except they were exacerbated by Green policies which prevented back-burning and therefore made the fires worse and directly led to more deaths and destruction.

There is also no increase in extreme weather globally or in Australia; even a cursory glance of the history of weather in Australia would establish that:

But people like this author have ideological blinkers on and every word they write is useless except as an insight into that miserable ideology:
