Were you deniers all dropped on your heads as kids, or somehow bypassed any high school science?

What CO2 does is old science, something you look up in a text book. Good luck to any conspiracy theories trying to lie about what CO2 does. This next test can be replicated in any decent physics lab on the planet! https://youtu.be/SeYfl45X1wo

Do a little maths - and the CO2 is trapping 4 Hiroshima bombs worth of heat every second. Of course that's spread out across the entire planet. The basic physics of how CO2 traps heat is known.

Where that extra heat goes is still being measured and modelled - but those models broadly speaking are getting more and more accurate. We know the majority of the heat goes into the oceans - so we really should call it "ocean warming" not "global warming". But the oceans have such a huge influence on our weather systems that "global warming" is fine, really.

Generally speaking the picture we get is that it is melting the ice, changing the seasons, making bird eggs hatch before the insects they eat, and making the atmosphere carry 4% more moisture. (Warmer air carries more water vapour - it's a physics thing.)

That means dry areas dry faster, and rainy areas dump deluges. More famines and floods. It also moves weather patterns, with many rain systems moving out to sea and missing the land. It interacts with ENSO weirdly - sometimes throwing Australia into a freakish drought like the 2019 fires, and other times throwing us into years of La Nina - with freakish floods. Sydney had more rain in one weekend than all the other capital cities get in a YEAR! This is not normal. But people try to deny it's happening. But what's new? There have always been backward fools denying the newfangled knowledge - until they die off and the newfangled thing is just the new norm.

"It's all about totalitarian control and 'group think'"

The Trumpster, ttbn is full of conspiracy theories about antthing and everything, democratically elected governments, Covid 19, climate change etc, etc, you name it and ttbn has a conspiracy theory for it. Then there's Hassy, the guy who really wants climate change with his forum call for the nuclear annihilation of 200 million people in Pakistan, I don't know what he has against the Pakistani's, it must be a Muslim thing. Hassy has the World's greatest scientist on the job, good old Cecil up the road in his chook pen, gathering the eggs and crunching the data on all relevant matters at the same time, and feeding it to both the chooks and Hassy, good old Cecil, 98 years young! What a pair of geniuses!

Dear Hasbeen,

1893 was indeed a big wet given cyclone Buninyong really hammered Brisbane.

But you seem to have your figures screwed up as usual. I doubt any station close to Brisbane have a yearly total of just 1726mm in 1893 given there were gauges south of Brisbane getting over 4000mm.

How about a station number so the rest of us can see if you are pulling figures out your backside.

Sorry Steele, Cecil's chook pen doesn't have a number, but the eggs are fresh, does that help?

Just because Iam Plimer, worked, was a director of a mining company
does not prove he is wrong, I wonder how many jumping on him have actually read his book ?
He has over 1000 references to scientific papers etc in his book to
support his claims.
It is not like we do not know why the temperature has risen over the
last 300 years or so, it is no secret except to closed minds.
Another question not answered is why does the temperature rise and
then the co2 increases ? Could it be that higher temperatures cause
more rain and more plant growth ?

The preachers have been crying "The End is Ni !" of the world for years
and it just keeps plodding on.
It is now getting boring !
Where do you lot park your sandwich boards ?
