runner,

115 years ago Dorothea Mackellar wrote of “droughts and flooding rains”. Now, when we are still getting the same droughts and floods, wimpy Australians are squealing 'disaster’!

no, ttbn, I'm telling the truth.

It's just that you're too feeble minded to comprehend that renewables can be reliable, and too stupid to comprehend that "unreliables" is an accurate way to describe Australia's coal fired power stations (which cumulatively broke down every three days on average).

YEP a hotter day in Adelaide in the 1930's did not stop the manipulators claiming the hottest day in history. Of course they did not point out it was even hotter back then but the way of reporting changed. Aiden is just a puppet for fraudsters and charlatans. Are you on the renewable train Aiden?

The Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO we're told play
an important role in monitoring and analysing and
communicating observed changes in Australia's climate.
These changes affect many Australians, particularly
the changes associated with increases in the
frequency and intensity - be they heat, fire, storms,
rains, floods, or droughts. The following two
pages of the Bureau of Meteorology link giving us
the "State of the Climate 2018,"is worth a read as
is "Australia's changing climate,"found on page 2.

Aidan,

More lies. I am not “feeble minded”, nor am I “stupid”. It looks as though you have got yourself so knotted up, so frustrated, that you have resorted to the abuse typical of people with your ideology and naïve beliefs in any old green, money-making scam that comes along.

I really don't understand why you feel the need to keep raving on. You don't need to even read my posts, let alone keep on trying to convince me that I'm wrong and you are right: particularly as your efforts are not having the slightest effect. Perhaps you are so used to getting your own way that you can't control yourself. I have told you once before that I am not really interested in what you have to say. Nobody is interested in being told they are wrong all the time. Perhaps you could try doing the same thing; you might feel better.

Ah, the good old BOM gets a mention. As one commentator said recently, the BOM is good at predicting rainfall 100 years hence. Not one of their predictions has been proved wrong. :)

Not so good in the shorter term; their predictions for the Townsville area were 'less than average rainfall'! Six weeks ago they predicted a dry month for Townsville! The area had only a 1 in 3 chance of exceeding the average rainfall in January, according to the Bureau geniuses. On Jan 17th they said that February in Townsville would only have a 45% chance of exceeding the average rainfall. The downpour started on Jan 27th.

There are numerous examples of the BOM's fudging of temperatures as part of their AGW urging, but I can't be bothered going into that, given the maniacal belief some people have in government information.
