I prefer summer

Monk moved to South Tasmania because he believed Tim Flannery and Al Gore that the world was actually warming up..

but instead,... we are moving into an Ice Age... he'll be Freezing his Balls off... 

It's come quickly. It was hot for so long, so the onset of winter is a shock. I've never had heating, but I'm thinking that I might need it if it gets any colder.

I prefer summer too but winter arrives every year and there is nothing we can do about it.

I have made something of a commitment to embrace winter and appreciate it's differences. Life's too short to spend half of it wishing it was summer.

Three weeks ago, car air con on - now - heater.

I don't mind winter as much as hot humid summers...

they are both so obnoxious- how can it be any other way-?

At least they can pick on each other instead of us.

Australia is HOT nearly 80% of the time.

Give me winter any day of the year.

You can put heaps of clothing on to get warm.
But you can only take so much off when its hot.

Only 'white collars' in air-conditioned offices like the heat.
Try working construction in 48C heat. It doesn't matter how much water you drink for hydration - when your core temperature starts rising and your fellow workers slow right down before dropping.

currently listening to SBS 'Chill' on the TV.

Why do some idiots always think I follow Al Gore? Do whatever searches you like here, the sewer, my joint. You will not find me quoting Al Gore, supporting Al Gore or doing anything but saying I don’t follow him in any way.

The history of the development of climate science and the Greenhouse Effect goes all the way back to 1820.

In 1905 Arrhenius worked out the basics of the Greenhouse Effect, pretty much correctly—using pen and paper to do all the tedious calculations.

The story moves to the 1930s and an English engineer named Callendar trying to convince professional meteorologists that mankind’s CO2 emissions can indeed change the globe’s climate.

WWII happens and meteorological research gets a boost. The cold war brings a bigger boost: the navies and airforces need to know about the seas and the air. That CO2 (and CH4, N2O, O3. . .) can change the climate is obvious.

Calculations could be done by computers but only by slow ponderous mainframes. Models had to be simple.

1970s and personal computers: researchers could run data on their PCs not loading down the mainframes. And satellites enter the scene.

So from 1820 to the present day the science says that the globe is warming and it has indeed warmed by 1°C and will sooner rather than later reach 1.2°C again and go past it.

What the hell does Al Gore have to do with this?

On the other hand, two of the less intelligent members here, The Moronic and Booby do not follow the science. They follow what is clearly a lying charlatan going by the name of David Dubyne. I bet it is not his real name—he will disappear with his donations and advertising revenues from his YouTube channel.

Do you really want him to wear that? Do people want to see Monk's junk?

Extreme cold? Melbourne? ahahahahahah

Try walking in the snow when it is -21C! Try walking about town when the maximum temperature is -7°C. Try walking in Germany in January at noon and every twig on the trees has snow on it.

Where my block is it doesn’t go below 0°C. Close to the coast, you see.

The trees I chose need just normal chill so even as the globe warms they will set fruit.

Then why do you make such a big fuss about normal winter in Melbourne?

mmmmm  mmmmm   mmmmm  mmmmm mmmm  mmmm mmmmm mmm mmmm

dont get me started

Hi Agnes,
I didn't know you fancied guys in Long Johns?
Get those winter woollies Monk.

You would think Tassy started 2500Km from Melbourne instead of 250Km. Booby’s brain barely functions.

Hello Agnes dear, how the devil are you?

About -1.3C to Launceston.

Then add variations for local topography.

-9.3C Cradle Valley only 0.22 difference in Latitude.

Actually, Boobhead, waters around Tassie are warming, there are now fish in Tassie waters considered to be tropical fish. By so assidously suc letting Dubyne do your thinking you do not have a clue about what is actually happening.

"A large school of tropical fish travelling en masse in the East Australian Current (EAC), in a manner similar to a scene from the hit movie Finding Nemo, have perished after finding themselves in the cold temperatures of Tasmania's northern waters."

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-18/finding-nemo-adventure-ends-badly-for-fish...

Fact is, the waters are warmer and the some of the fish species there would not have been there say 20 years ago.

Same with Sydney—waters are warmer and fish species that used to be restricted to more northerly waters are now in NSW waters.

And those fish managed to move a long way south.

bwahahahahaha the Dubyne puppet tries to be all stern and stuff.

Rogue current mislead the poor buggars.....

Not for Lees tho. He thinks it is 1850.

Tropical fish are now found in Sydney Harbor (not in Tasmanian waters) and fish from waters north of Tasmania are now found in Tasmanian waters. I remember reading something about this years ago, must do some searching see what the situation is now.

Not when those fish hang around, no.

Lees is babbling again.

Only in India because they use two fingers.

At least a dog  can be excused for open defecation.

Is there anything an Indian taxi driver wont rape ?

A taxi driver in the Capital has been accused of raping a female puppy, which later bled to death.
