BuMet reports Australia has warmed by 1°C since 1910. The seas around us have also warmed. Just look at the coral bleaching.

But maybe Herbert has access to a “real” set of temperature readings???

La Ninas now are as warm as El Ninos were in the 1960s. That is from the BuMet State of the Climate 2016 too!


The time to panic is when the Earth's cyclical Global cooling begins again.

Get a life you wretched panic-merchants.

So you don’t have an alternative set of temperature measurements.

Here are the BuMet report highlights:

Quote:
•      Australia’s climate has warmed in
both mean surface air temperature
and surrounding sea surface
temperature by around 1 °C
since 1910.

•      The duration, frequency and
intensity of extreme heat events
have increased across large parts
of Australia.

•      There has been an increase in
extreme fire weather, and a longer
fire season, across large parts of
Australia since the 1970s.

•      May–July rainfall has reduced by
around 19 per cent since 1970 in the
southwest of Australia.

•      There has been a decline of around
11 per cent since the mid-1990s in
the April–October growing season
rainfall in the continental southeast.


Plenty there to give pause for thought. The warming and drying of the southern half of Australia in particular.

Ice Age—next one is due in about 85,000 years.

You deny CO2 is plant food? You deny increased yields from CO2? You deny greening of the planet due to CO2?

You denier you. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

The cooling cycle won't begin for another few thousand years
What we are discussing is the current warming cycle that is caused by increased concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Not a problem

We'll adjust as we always have down through the millennia.

China, India, Africa, and all of South America have repeatedly told the West that they will use fossil fuels just as the West has done to fire-up its Industrial Revolution which turned us into the First World 'developed' nations that we are today.

It's got to be One-in, All-in .. or not at all.

Australia accounts for only 2% of the world's carbon emissions.

Get a life, you Marla-clone ass-monkeys.

It would have been good for plants before the industrialization.  Right now, we are burning up fossil fuels and deforesting at a rate unseen over on Earth natural history (except perhaps that extinction event).  And that is the problem.

Hold it RIGHT THERE, Tickle!

No one's talking about deforestation and stripping our Planet Earth of its vegetation.

Coal.

That's it.

There are any number of ways of burning coal without it polluting the atmosphere.

But its all connected in the carbon cycle.  And plus its very difficult to grown something back on a used coal mine.

You mean the extinction event where they modelled proven extinctions, extrapolated it with the unknown numbers of living organisms and came up with a number. That was so hilarious. Wink

You mean you can't rehabilitate?

Now of course they are cutting down forests for wood pellets to burn in a coal plant (DRAX). The pellets are being cut in Canada and the USA.

So we have a couple of problems -

1. wood pellets have less thermal energy than coal.

2. The  manufacture of wood pellets uses non-renewable energy as well as the fossil fuels used to transport the pellets to the UK, train to DRAX.

Not a clean, green solution.

Renewable technology have to start somewhere.  Right now, our problem is that we are messing around with the carbon cycle in many aspects. Granted we have CO2 level like this before on Earth, but this time its different.  The rate of increase is alot higher, and we are messing with deforestation.  And this is on top of natural CO2 emissions. 

The non renewable carbon based energy is dirty, its the least abundant form of energy in the entire universe (that we know of), and its never going to be able to keep up with the growing population at the rate we are going. 

We need to do the right thing.  Instead of subsidizing this outdated form of energy generation, invest and give incentives to divest into renewable.   The race is on, who ever succeed in the renewable energy sector is going to be the next superpower.

Nuclear has a role as non-intermittent power source. An ETS will make nuclear one of the best options.
