MHAZE my boy - just because you didn't understand the difference between "Resource" and "Reserves" in our peak oil chat doesn't give you grounds to exaggerate the discussion around how they estimated the carbon allowance.

It's been a few years, but I remember that being with another forum member - not yourself that much - and led to NASA's probability curves within their many repetitions and variations of their climate model based on the known radiative forcing of CO2.

Which can be demonstrated in any decent physics lab on the PLANET!

But it seems like you fell for your little echo chamber's mantra of "They can't estimate a carbon budget" that your accomplice in crime just repeated 20,000 times. That level of repetition MUST mean it's true, hey?

Your political presuppositions are making you hate on science.

Grow up, and learn to accept the world the way it is.

Dear Hasbeen,

Oh no you don’t old cock.

All three of your stated figures exactly match the Beaudesert Cryna record. You are now trying to claim that you took one of them from “Tamborine House” instead. Risible nonsense.

If you are referring to Mount Tamborine then it gets nearly a third more rainfall than Beaudesert so it isn’t “very similar” at all now is it.

As to you now claiming it was YOUR gauge which showed the rainfall did not reach that of 1893 by just 15mm, utterly laughable I’m afraid.

Come on mate you have gotten right royally found out, just live with it and stop trying to dig your hole any deeper slinging bulldust. Sometimes you just have to wear these things on the chin and live to fight another day. Continuing to embarrass yourself is not the answer.

Just to confirm, the highest recorded annual rainfall at Beaudesert was 2022 with 1755mm and the lowest was 426mm recorded in 2019. Live with it old boy.

Dear mhaze,

Ah a Lex Fridman fan I see. So am I.

Unfortunately his guest has become a frustrating and frustrated ideologue who is difficult to listen to and who speaks with great certainty well outside his level of expertise.

You could even see Lex getting a bit exasperated with him during the clip.

I much preferred Lex's interview with Bjørn Lomborg and Andrew Revkin. http://youtu.be/5Gk9gIpGvSE

As to your non answer regarding increasing global temperature you lot have again latched on to a peak in the record like you did with 1998. This time you are doing it with 2015 to try to claim global temperatures are decreasing over the last 7 years.

It was pathetic and utterly disingenuous back then and it is so now.

Give it away.

Hi Steele,

As a local in Brisbane I can confirm Mount Tamborine is the wettest location in this area, by far. I was joking when giving Hassy the razz about dear old Cecil having a thermometer in his chook shed, I was wrong, not only does he have a thermometer in there, he's also got a rain gauge as well, probably one of those cheepy Chinese plastic models, that Hassy gave him for his 97th birthday, I think he got it from the Reject Shop for $2.

p/s I've got one of those cheepy units in my yard, rain gauge (measures up to 35mm, after that it overflows and thermometer -40C to 120C. Last 24 hours in Brisbane we had 457mm of rain (my rain gauge overflowed so I'll estimate 457mm) and the current temp in Brisbane is -40C, in fact the temperature hasn't risen above -40C for more that a year. Doesn't that put the mockers on global warming. Using my gauges I'm able to accurately forecast the weather in Brisbane. Over the next 24 hours there will be a snow blizzard headed our way from the direction of Tahiti, followed by a tropical cyclone from Antarctica.

Steele, get yourself one of these marvellous units from the Reject Shop, only $2, then like Hassy and me you'll be an expert on the weather.
