Climate Change is back on

The Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed that Australia has just experienced its hottest summer on record.

The bureau says the previous hottest summer - measured by average day and night figures from across the nation - was in 1997-98.

Sorry "righties" and "climate change deniers"

After 1 summer of hottest weather on average since 1998 and constant temperature for the last 17 years - climate change is back with a vengeance!!

Based on this 1 figure - lefties will tell you to build an Ark

Ohh yeah!!

The oceans are steadily heating which is the driver for the increasing extremes in weather conditions that we have seen over the last decade.
Believe what you want Maqqa but even the Coalition have an ETS still on the books and have promised to reduce greenhouse gases at the same rate as the Labor Party.

and the IPCC said that sea level increase due to Antarctic ice melting is 0.21mm with an error of +/- 0.35mm

so lets not talk about oceans

Na...lets talk about oceans..post the WHOLE article you are quoting from Grin

I assume Maqqa that you are ignorant of how the temperature of the oceans effects weather patterns across the globe?
Go to a lecture or two and see what knowledge you absorb Cheesy

The scary thing is that the temperature of the upper atmosphere is increasing, and the oceans are increasing, but for the last couple of years the land has lagged behind due to La Nina and other longer cycle (multi year) weather events.

Its like an elastic band, the next El Nino could set all sorts of crazy records as the land catches back up to sea and atmosphere temps.

Talk about clutching at straws.

Ok, it "could" set all sorts of crazy records.
It "will" track to atmosphere and ocean warming trends.
There is "no chance" it will show any sign of cooling, because there isnt one part of the syetm that is showing any cooling to cause it.

Let's forget about COULD, the Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed that Australia DID just experienced its hottest summer on record!

AND, I can assure you, Perth DID more than it's fair share in getting that record, because it has been very warm here!

on year proves precisely nothing. and i mean that literally. it is just one point of data that follows on after 3 years of LOWER than average temperatures. ON one hand we have ACC hysterics telling us that firstly 17years of temperature pauses hasn't happened and finally when forced to admit it is true says it is meaningless.. but one year of hot weather? THATs significant.

I agree, one swallow does not make a summer!

However, it was done without the backing of an El Nino event!

So, I would suggest the prudent thing to do, would be to take whatever appropriate mitigation measures, are possible, which is merely sensible business practice.

Oh & btw, I do think the science will bear out, over time, BUT we can not wait for that, as it would then be far too late.

business doesn't 'mitigate' against problems that don't exist. they actually want a bit of proof and proof has been pretty thin on the ground.
