We can all see the desperation of Lees. Clear evidence the Australian climate has become warming—over the period 1951–2015—“doesn’t mean anything.”

It means the Australian climate has warmed, Lees. Pretty obvious, not?

We know AGW is blocking IR from escaping to space so the planet cannot quite get rid of all the energy the sun pours onto the day face. We see here the effect on our corner of the globe.

The graphs show that the Australian climate is warming, right Lees?

So AGW has warmed the Australian climate.

Pretty clear from the graphs.

Obviously, the world is not moving into an ice age, only the deluded, the gullible and the brain and mind damaged can believe we are moving into an ice age. Nevertheless there is a platoon of snake oil sellers deluding people, like Booby, that we are moving into an ice age. Just look on Twitter searching the hashtags of #grandsolarminimum, #globalcooling, #miniiceage etc.

Parts of the Arctic were above 0.0°C for 61 days this NH winter just past. Sixty one days above freezing in the middle of the Arctic winter! There is something awesome about that fact. The 2016/17 winter saw similar winter warming. Before winter 2016/17 there were Arctic winter warming events but not back to back like in the previous two winters.

Now, how does the Arctic warm in winter? The sun is not even above the horizon for months! Deluded numpties like Booby and Lees here would say “volcanoes!” Unfortunately for them those volcanoes and the ones under West Antarctica have been there for millions of years and there have been no major eruptions explaining the retreat of the ice.

The Arctic warms in winter by warm air pushing in via a high pressure ridge over Siberia. The “Beast from the East” was Arctic air pushed out from the Arctic. The Beast from the East got all the attention from Dubyne and his fellow snake oil sellers and the warm Arctic got ignored. Globally temperatures did not drop while the Beast from the East chilled parts of Europe, the average northern hemisphere temperature remained above normal.

The Arctic warming in winter affects what is called the Arctic Vortex. I will need to explain that, I guess.

In the tropics the air is warm and by the gas laws the atmosphere there expands—the limit of the atmosphere is high. In the polar areas the air is cold and the atmosphere contracts, the limit of the atmosphere is low. Just like a kid riding his gokart down a hill the air in the upper layers of the tropical atmosphere are pulled by gravity to where the upper atmosphere is lower, over the poles.

So this Vortex is air coming down over the Arctic. The Coriolis force turns this into a band of wind around the limit of the Vortex which keeps the Arctic air contained.

Obviously, when the Arctic is warmed the poiar vortex weakens and Arctic air can be pushed out of the Arctic, creating the Beast from the East and the cold spring in the NE of the US.

I have posted YouTubes by a renowned atmospere scientist, search the thread here and watch them and hopefully learn.

Hmmm looked at the Adelaide 7day forecast: 20°C or more right up to the last day, Monday 6 May.

Wow.  a lot of nonsense.

Chart of Arctic sea ice to 1953? using 11,000 processors to re-analyse the data?

A chart purporting to be Estimated temperatures back to 1880, with the data down to 0.01C? Never mind that there were few stations, never mind the inherent instrument inaccuracies at that time about +/-1C, never mind the reading uncertainties about  +-0.5C; we'll just average them out too. oh look uncertainties of +/-1.5c; and you said temperatures had gone up how much? 1.1C.

Then the next ice chart from 1979, and anomalous high according to the IPCC chart.

You are so funny.

BTW - lovely Spaghettti graph. I am not sure what it is you are trying to show. Such a mishmash of colours.

I keep asking for the name of the ship. you won't or can't answer. My research suggests there was no such ship that didn't need icebreaker support.

Liar Dubyne had claimed that the NW passage would be filled with thick ice. I tried to look for that YouTube but the liar had quietly removed it from his playlist 

A second lie by Liar Dubyne.

He told me that ice in the Arctic would be 4 metres thick by end of winter. It was but 2 metres thick.

David Dubyne lied and said the winter in Australia was cold. It was warm. Third lie by Liar Dubyne.

He also said that the harvest was bad, said something about 70% failure—another lie, maybe a farm or two in some district had a bad year. The wheat harvest last year was 2% above the long term average harvest.

Lie after lie after lie. Booby’s hero, a big liar. A liar who set out to deceive and scare foolish and gullible and damaged people so he could get donations from them and eyes on his fatuous YouTubes for advertising revenue. I think he is also behind or has a share in “survival foods” advertised on every one of his miserable lying videos.

Then the most gullible fool gets made Mod of Environment and all you can talk about is the lying videos.

Pure snake oil.
