You know what i was saying, your the one wondering where all the heat is, when you see nothing but rain. Chances are you won't see a drought while it's raining either.

Bonmot, it is surprising that you infer that the IPCC is not alarmist ( viz. you say "Atman, you and many naysayers think the IPCC is 'alarmist'").

As the IPCC cannot come up with any scientific evidence that anthropogenic CO2 emissions have a measurable impact on average global temperature, it uses assertion and models (that it has not been able to validate) to make alarmist climate projections so as to con UN-member-country politicians, the media and gullible observers.

'To date the best that scientists can do is give a few months warning of an onset of a new cycle '

With weekly and even daily forecasting changing several times a day I think you are being a bit ambitious. The big freeze throughout Europe and America was not predicted. In fact some IPCC guru warned some years ago that English and European kids might not get to see snow. I bet many of them wish these clowns were right. I recently saw a quote that said the ark was built by amateurs while the titanic was built by professionals. Seems like the economist and forecaster have one thing in common. Often they don't have a clue. And to think this Government is still dumb enough to push for a carbon tax. Idiotic and dishonest at best.

This is hilarious, while claiming not to be alarmist, the believers are gleefully predicting more weather events that "prove" their hysterical claims.

Yep, there's the believers science in action, science that can't be falsified since they now believe every rainstorm, cyclone flood is the work of their god .. AGW, everything is predicted in the climate astrology, climate scientology

If you look at BOM, you'll see we have fewer cyclones now than in the past .. did they have AGW then?

It's now a smorgasbord of dire predictions, and there's one of the prophets Garnault, darkly calling on more doom for us all. (re[ent you fools or the AGW will come down upon ye!)

So if BOM and CSIRO and all the climate so called advisors were previously saying that drought was but a passing thing and the weather was heavy with water .. why were state governments advised to build desal plants?

Surely the warmists prophets saw this coming?

no .. really?

Oh, it's hindsight you are now using to link AGW to weather, so that's science now is it. How dare you use the term science at all.

Oh good grief, this is becoming less and less believable.

Do you think people do not remember the drought and fires being attributed to AGW? That the SE states would see less rain? Can we all pull out Penny Wong's doom predictions, Flannery's and all the otheres?

pull the other one .. it's got a tax on it .. oh

I've said nothing about the IPCC. They are far from the only source of alarmist information. So you want me to go searching for information you have conveniently forgotten? Not likely. However, here are some tasty Alarmist highlights from the past which prove my point.

Greenpeace
https://www.greenpeace.org.au/secure/appeal/climate.php
"Australia is the world's driest inhabited continent. Every day we suffer the worsening effects of climate change, like ENDLESS DROUGHT and weather extremes."

This might also jog your failing memory:

CRU
"According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become 'a very rare and exciting event' ".

I bet this guy is still happily working away at the CRU. If it wasn't such a tragic waste of public monies,it would be funny.

Alright then Atman, I'll take that bet.

How about AUS $1000?

My car rego is due.
