Couldn't read that article, it is behind a paywall.
Well sunny days have to be stored somehow, it would be a massive
battery to keep NSW going for five days.
They could of course be nickle iron cells and they last almost forever.
Still any sort of battery would push the cost of electricity to impossible levels.
How about a week of overcast & windless ?

No, somehow a base load system will be needed.
It could be nuclear of course but the greenies will abuse anyone who would consider it.
Geothermal is one possibility.

Forget global warming we have bigger problems than that.

Bazz,
That article comes up for me via Google: the crippling cost of a carbon tax.

Where I am up near the equator, there can be 2 or 3 weeks of very cloudy days without sun or wind.
Solar systems only get a dribble and need a generator to recharge.

What to forget?
The ocean are in real trouble. Can oceans be forgotten?

All the waffle about AGW and CO2 and physics and climate science modelling is extraordinary from my point of view.
What do physicists know about biology and algae?
How long has climate been a science?
However I respect true science I do think humans are changing weather and climate.

Even the following news of today is wrong on some points.
http://www.smh.com.au/environment/emerging-threat-from-climate-change-ocean-oxygen-levels-are-starting-to-drop-20160427-gogqd3.html

It's not possible to forget impact of unprecedented sewage and land use proliferated algae that consumes oxygen at night and during very cloudy days.

I think AGW science is very incomplete.

Reflux does not know the difference between fact and opinion. He deludes himself into thinking that his flawed definition is fact, when it is merely his questionable opinion, and his inappropriate analogy underlines the fact that he does not have a clue.
A climate scientist is trained in the observation and study of climate, as Bob Carter was, including past climate, studied through geology.
Bob Carter was a world recognised climate scientist, so it is of little import that the addle-brained Reflux does not recognise him, a fraud-backer who cannot even define “climate scientist”, does not matter.

Oh dear Leo,

It really is kinda sweet.

You will defend this man as a climate scientist even when he clearly was no such thing and when Jo Nova and the Heartland Institute refrained from giving such an endorsement.

Mate, if that's your firm belief then okay. I am prepared to accept that in your heart of hearts you truly believe that Bob Carter was a climate scientist, so therefore I withdraw the charge of dishonesty as your delusion really predicates more a prognosis of mental instability.

I should have picked up on it earlier. Your see-sawing between addressing me directly then next as the third person was a red flag. Your repetitions and insistence on defending proven falsehoods was also indicative of issues.

Here is the thing though my friend, I have few issues with people having contrary views on climate change. There are a couple in my group of friends who hold them. What gets my goat is when little twats on here throw out constant diatribes and accusations of 'fraud' and 'dishonesty'. It is my failing that I respond in kind.

Given your afflictions I will endevour to be more circumspect with you in the future but I'm unable to give an ironclad guarantee as it sadly appears to be 'in my nature'.

Reflux says” Your see-sawing between addressing me directly then next as the third person was a red flag. Your repetitions and insistence on defending proven falsehoods was also indicative of issues.”
Ha bloody Ha Reflux, everyone has their own style. I certainly do not like yours, and you, apparently do not like mine.
I understand your position, Reflux. You have no science to back your assertions, so you have to stigmatise Carter’s unassailable science as “proven falsehoods”. Where were the “falsehoods” proven, Reflux? On the unqualified cartoonist’s fraud promoting website, no doubt., the deceptively, and dishonestly named Skeptical Science, Rusty’s resource of pseudo-science.

If the ocean is set to rise as the global warming says,
Then will the Barrier Reef be further under water and thus more
Shielded from the sun.

I thought the Barrier Reef might use the bleached parts as a sun shield and just go
Right on thriving underneath.

It's bloody hot up here in the tropics has been all my life
Bleaching must be nothing new to the reef
