So why do it? How big is your bees dick? "There's many a mickle in a muckle".The homogenisation cools the past. Making modern readings seem warmer. Then of course the PRT's add a bonus warming and it seems BoM don't always use 5 minute readings but some instantaneous ones.

But tell us about changing readings for statistical reasons.

Easy;

IR Spectrum top of atmosophere. That is where IR emitted can reach space.

Look at the gaps at the frequencies for the GHGs.

For christs’ sake, we have KNOWN that CO2, CH4 and water vapor absorb IR since 1851! Look up John Tyndall and Eunice Foote.

In the Red corner we have lee, booby and frank and the rest of the Deniers.

In the Blue corner we have the US Dept of Defence.  I wonder which one to take notice of?

What are YOU doing here then, psychopath and blackmailer?

CO2 in 1880: 280ppm

CO2 in 2022: 415ppm (https://www.co2.earth/daily-co2)

Increase = (415 -280) * 100/280 = 48.2% increase.

About 33% of atmospheric CO2 is anthropogenic.


This means more CO2 in the very cold, dry outer layers of the atmosphere. These molecules emit the IR that reaches space. Not much IR is emitted from very cold, sparse molecules so more and more IR is retained in atmosphere and oceans.

There’s plenty we can do individually and collectively to stay globally competitive and reduce the impacts of climate change on Sydney and the wider world.


Climate change is the most serious environmental challenge that human beings have faced. It is the defining issue of our time.

Globally, the largest contributor to climate change is the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Burning these fuels releases emissions that create a greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. This traps increasing levels of solar heat and causes warming. An energy transition to renewable energy is already well underway. To avert the worst consequences of climate change, we need to accelerate this transition.

That’s why we're pursuing ambitious but achievable goals of our own as part of our climate emergency response. Our vision is for a resilient, sustainable Sydney that remains one of the world’s most vibrant and liveable cities for decades to come.

Our environmental strategy 2021-2025 sets these targets for our area:

    70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 2006 baseline
    net zero emissions by 2035
    50% of electricity demand met by renewable sources by 2030.

The benefits of achieving these targets are large and wide-ranging and will have a positive impact internationally as well as locally. In our area, we can look to cleaner air, a stronger economy and a healthier population.

Globally, a general move towards a more sustainable way of living can help to avoid the destabilisation of communities, extinction of species and reduce the regularity of catastrophic weather events.

We’ve gathered information about our ongoing emissions reductions initiatives, so you can see what we’re doing. There’s information on how you can take climate action too.
