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.

When you live in a cyclone prone area(the whole queensland coast) and wonder why you get monsoon flooding, then you need help from a shrink, not a climate scientist quack.

Unfortunately, there are too many people that are blind, to too many things, primarily because they have their heads firmly buried in their own ass and that situation will not change as fast as the Global Climate is changing!

So, as the saying goes, Houston we have a problem!

It's not business as usual. I have lived in Queensland for years. It's a statistically significant change, but I suppose you don't know what that means.

Except for the stats, yeh you were spot on. Roll Eyes

If you provided the stats you are going off, then maybe they arent the bogus stats. Until then, they can only be bogus.

April, July and February are man made concepts.

The whole Gregorian Calendar is a man made concept.

Weather patterns (and climate) do not follow man made concepts.

...but (they) do follow man made rising CO2 emissions

(I place they is parenthesis because it seems that the old trap has snared yet another clown - CLIMATE does not equal WEATHER - got it yet?)

Didn't snare me. That's why there's an "and" before climate.

That clearly shows that I'm talking about two completely different things.

I'm constantly highlighting the difference between weather and climate in this forum.

You're not too bright, are you monkey boy? Roll Eyes

No, we've always had weather (and climate) actually.

Not having a good day, are you Roll Eyes

so that's your argument? WE have always had weather (

AND

climate) so we can do whatever we like to the environment without any consequences. You have an interesting personal psychosis - has it been documented by the Psychiatric society in Geneva?

I see that your illness has been worsening lately - have you run out of medication?

Nope.

hypothesis for what?

their is an accepted hypothesis for the origin of the moon

What troubles you about the causal link between rising CO2 levels and thermal retention rates of the Earth?
