The SREX is done through hours and hours of negotiations between politicians, not scientists. It doesn't even use AR6 WG1 - The Physical Science Basis as the basis of the report. That means it relies on the Non- Scientific Basis.

It is where the InterGOVERNMENTAL Panel on Climate Change gets its name.

From the same bloke who uses a photoshopped poor poley bear on an incredibly unstable small ice floe.

Did I not say that April was not included in the red line?

The graph is of global temperatures, not part NH and part SH, like ?????????

Plateau of temperatures—the last 3, La Nina years?

We know volcanoes and La Ninas cause a temporary dip in temperatures, El Ninos cause a rise.

I didn’t say La Ninas needed volcanoes! Are you going daft lee?

La Ninas are temporary, some less so than others.

Imagine having 3 El Ninos in a row!

Excerpts - "Though I had come to Australia to research the impacts of climate change on extreme weather events, it instead became my lived experience."

One year here and he lived climate change.

"The governing Coalition had left a trail of death and destruction, both figuratively and literally."

The government caused the fire and destruction.

"Thousands of homes were destroyed, dozens of lives lost, 24 million hectares burned, and Australia was shunned from an international climate summit over the then prime minister Scott Morrison’s climate intransigence."


Actually it was less than 19 million. Not good, but not as bad as said. I guess we need to make things worse than they were because...climate change.

"Meanwhile, the rightwing Murdoch media machine continued to spew climate disinformation, cynically blaming the devastation on arson and “back-burning”. "

Climate change doesn't light fires. Humans cause 90% of fires directly.

But hey when you have to splice, for some inexplicable reason, temperature data sets and tree ring "data" from recent periods, you have to wonder why. I mean tree rings respond more to water than temperature, proxy data has wider error bars than thermometers. But he is a "Climate Scientist"^TM


"After substantial progress at Cop26 in Glasgow, the Cop27 meeting in Sharm El Sheikh late last year yielded minimal additional progress, failing to secure emissions reductions from the countries of the world that will keep warming of the planet below a catastrophic 1.5C."

There is absolutely no data that establishes 1.5c as "catastrophic". 2C was dreamed up by an economist not a Climate Scientist. 1.5 c was dreamed up by the IPCC but with no evidence.

But JM believes. He would Sanctify Mann.

Duuuuh perhaps because we want to reserve our coal for export. And having alternative sources of energy would be what should be powering our needs.

I am actually all for nuclear power plants being built.

Despite our situation about being a carbon sink area, adding carbon to the atmosphere still adds to the atmosphere.

Can any of you climate alarmists tell me what the optimum level of atmospheric CO2 is?
