A.C.T coldest mornings in 15 years..

mind you I dont blame GW I blame mother nature shes a b**ch.

the people I feels sorry for live in Louisiana facing Hurricane Issac... good luck all you folks..

Where I am, we have had more sub zero temps than any time I can remember. Cut down more trees for heat than ever. Got a minus 10 temp that I have never seen before. Pretty sure the most cold days I can remember.

It was nice, but I am tired of chopping down trees and chopping them into small blocks.

Keep up. I think you will find that your denier friends have moved on from the "it's not warming" thing and onto "ok, it IS warming, but CO2 isn't doing it", or "ok, it IS warming, and CO2 IS doing it, but there is nothing we can do about it".

Didn't you get the memo?

Yeah, like global warming is now climate change, or, climate disruption.

Ha! Yeah - forgot that one! Another denier classic!

Ignore the fact that the term "climate change" has been used for decades (like in naming the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change" in 1988) and the term "global warming" is still in current use today.

It is amazing how retarded these denier memes are , isn't it!

So much for global warming...

State of the Climate
National Overview

July 2012

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
National Climatic Data Center

Summary Information

July 2012 global temperatures were fourth highest on record

Arctic sea ice extent was second lowest July extent on record

The globally-averaged temperature for July 2012 marked the fourth warmest July since record keeping began in 1880. July 2012 also marks the 36th consecutive July and 329th consecutive month with a global temperature above the 20th century average.

Most areas of the world experienced much higher-than-average monthly temperatures, including most of the United States and Canada

.

Meanwhile, Australia, northern and western Europe, eastern Russia, Alaska, and southern South America were notably cooler than average.

In the Arctic, sea ice extent averaged 3.1 million square miles, resulting in the second lowest July sea ice extent on record.

Dont you read past the 4th paragraph.

Sydney once again enjoyed above average temperatures through winter with maximums at 18.4C, more than one degree warmer than normal'' Mr Saunders said.

"Our minimum temperatures at 9.3C were 0.6C above average but were still the coldest in six years.

"Sydney's overall average for the season was therefore 13.9C, the 34th consecutive winter with above average temperatures.''

Newcastle, Wollongong and Parramatta had similar conditions to Sydney with the coldest winter in two years.

The mild winter continues the warming trend observed over most of Australia during the past few decades, but for built up regions like Sydney it is also the result of the urban heat island effect.,'' he said.

I see armchair is too ashamed to respond to this post.

Best to stick to posts like this, old chap. Leave the science to those who know about, you know, the Book of Genesis.

Common sense, innit. We can't all be theologians.

Good point. You'll have to raise this in the next drunken boong IQ thread. We haven't had one of them for a while.
