no surprise no surprise

it.. the latest assessment has hit the media.. and no surprise no surprise... its bad...

and another... no surprise... is that some people are still clinging in desperation to the idea ... that it's all a conspiracy..!! Grin

isn't that right P Lolly??

Well what else could it be when the science is far from settled. It could be just bias and no conspiracy.

Is all this doom and gloom coming from the insurance angle, because it sure isnt coming from settled science.

Professor Murry Salby pours well deserved scorn on the

ANGRY SUMMER

bulltish from the BoM and the Climate Commission Clowns.

The gravy train is coming to end of its ride, time for these grant addicted data manipulating head line grabbing crap artists to get off. See the full version in The Australian.

CLAIMS from the latest report by the Climate Commission, titled The Angry Summer, have been widely circulated through international media. On the basis of a few sporadic episodes, which in any other era would have been regarded as marginal weather (infrequent but perennial), the Climate Commission has proclaimed that such events are now the norm - the signature of climate change come home to roost.

Follow the money trail.....

Insurance companies have already factored in global warming effects going forward and will not insure specific areas of Australia - ie certain coastal regions and areas probe to flood and fire etc.

And that internal risk assessment by the major Insurance corporations commenced in the 1980s

I wonder if Mr Andrew Bolt is insured?

2012 will turn out to be either the warmest or second warmest year on record

Its not about anger - its about truth. The Australian talks about gravy trains but considers the fossil fuel gansters as church groups devoted to the environment and social cohesion. EXXON for example is not on a gravy train of profit - it trains priests that focus on wisdom and compassion within social frameworks.

The Australian newspaper - lol - the worlds number one source of truth and compassion

NOT!

There will be coming out soon, of a completely different theory. Co2 will be put where it belongs. In an area of the brain where all the other non-issues go.

Perth is continuing to feel the effects of ongoing Climate Change!

Today's maximum reached 37.3, which is the second hottest April day on record.
Five hottest days in April
1910, 37.6 degrees
2013, 37.3 degrees (Today)
1971, 37.1 degrees
1906, 36.7 degrees
1899, 36.3 degrees
http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/perth-sweats-through-hottest-april-day-in-12-y...

The average, so far this month is 32.3, which is 6.5 above the previous historical average.

Along with surging levels of heat, Perth has also be subject to a long term Decline in rainfall levels, since around 1970, which has greatly reduced Perth's Dam Capacity, as well as the capacity of our major underground aquifer (the Gnangara Mound), which is putting a great deal of stress on Perth's drinking water.

But, we still have stupid Politicians, Business & Economists wanting to go with Growth, which is just madness given the likely Climate & Energy Scenario's.

The sentiment, behind that is correct, Australia has a reputation, for Droughts & flooding rains!

However, the regularity & tenacity of events are now taking on new highs, as Southern Australia is Drying out & heating up, to all time records, whilst Northern Australia is getting more serious/regular Storm/cyclone events (at present) & is also warming up.

WA is unfortunately,a prime example, where Perth & the S/West areas have now been in a long term rainfall Decline for over 40 years & our heat is now increasing again.

So, if/WHEN we get another major El Niño event, we will have some serious problems & drinking water alone will present some enormous difficulties then, as we are already starting to run low, NOW!

The everyday saying that's going around is "How many years until the next 1 in 200 year rainfall?" We've had people in Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Mackay affected by severe floods almost every year in recent times, and they have had major effects on infrastructure and the economy.

Sooner or later,we have to wake up and realise that we're "not in Kansas anymore".

Blind Freddy can see that things are changing, unless they have their heads firmly buried in the sand.
