I have always said that GHGs send some IR back to the surface and shown graphs that show it doing so.

Climate zones are moving polewards. Ask the BuMet.

When it comes to dumb YOU take the cake, roach.

You didn’t correct me.


In the US the poleward shift is to the north, here it is to the south.

Nah, you just thought you had a flash of genius when it was just wind.

Temperatures
Daytime temperatures during July were above to very much above average over almost all of mainland Australia. The mean maximum temperature for Australia as a whole was clearly the highest on record for July, at 2.62 °C above average, 0.66 °C above the previous record set in 1975.

The warmth was especially pronounced in the northern half of Australia. Average maximum temperatures were the highest on record for July over large parts of Queensland, Northern Territory and the northern half of Western Australia, with all three regions recording their warmest July days on record as a whole. Queensland and the Northern Territory also had their highest monthly mean temperatures on record for July. Most of tropical Australia, except for Cape York Peninsula and the east coast of Queensland, had average maximum temperatures at least 2 °C above average, reaching 4 °C above average in parts of western Queensland and the southern Northern Territory. Records were set at numerous long-term stations in Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

Maximum temperatures were not as far above average in the southern half of mainland Australia, but were still at least 1 °C above average almost everywhere except for southwestern Western Australia, and most of Victoria away from the northwest. They were 2 °C to 3 °C above average over most of inland New South Wales and northern South Australia, with both States narrowly missing out on their warmest July on record. Records were set locally along the northern borders of both States, and in the Hunter and Central West regions of New South Wales. The only mainland region where maximum temperatures were slightly below average was in the far south of Western Australia. Maximum temperatures in Tasmania were close to average.
