It was down to 11 C last night in Melbourne.

I had to have 2 blankets. 

The longest day is only 3 days away.

Where is dopey Monk?

- the guy living in the roaring 40s with a tropical dog.

Monk is so dopey that he is replying at his MRB when
he's no longer banned here:

Monk doesn't know. 

Global warming?

How will Monk explain that?

Poor JM. Just keeps digging that hole.

That Arctic AMPLIFICATION is going gang busters.

Why is Monk so hysterical?

He carries on like a homosexual.

But you live almost in the tropics.

And you live almost in the roaring 40s. But, at this time of year, you get more daylight than I do. So, what accounts for your 11°C night time temperatures in December?

If the global warming continues we'll all freeze to death.

You don't get a real winter where you are -
23.5 degrees  South in latitude.

Sure but Monk has a tropical dog -
it gets a lot colder in Tassie compared to here.
The summer in Tassie is perfect - not so hot as here.

You seem to be making my point for me. The east coast of Tasmania is about as cold in its winters as it is in Melbourne. And whilst I might get an average of about 2 weeks of cold nights per winter, I remember having a dog that shivered in the warm lounge room during a cold night's weather. Most dogs are not capable of sleeping through cold weather without some shelter. Monk would have done whatever he would to make sure Socks is warm during the winter.

Jovial Monk wrote on Jan 16^th, 2024 at 6:38pm:


Whatever the case, you would be keeping Socks warm during the winter. My father has two dogs that have to have their dog jackets put on during the winter. They get to sleep on their beds out on the veranda. The beds get a tent over them to keep them warm. Dad even has blinds to pull down to ward off most of the cold breeze. And then there is a set of louvres on the other railing that Dad can wind shut.

Regardless, there are not many breeds of dog that can handle cold conditions.

Calling you a trolling arsehole is at least accurate, unlike the boring, repetitive and WRONG trolling you do.

But, hey ban me from here, means I can post some environmental topics in Critters and Gardens.

“intellectual discussion of the environment” is a laugh!

You have never posted about the environment ever!

As to “intellectual” that excludes you. That may be harsh but is true. You have not known what to do with this board since you fell out with Dumbyne. Your only active thread is one that clearly belongs in Critters and Gardens—you are thieving a thread, thieving traffic from my board.

If you had a shred of honesty and self respect you would resign as Environment Mod.

Polar bear populations are stable or declining.

Biggest bear population is on ice off the CAA.

As the ice keeps thinning polar bears will become an endangered species.


Why haven’t YOU written about stuff like this instead of bloody trolling!

If you don’t want to be called a trolling arsehole then, simple, STOP BLOODY TROLLING!

I put your boring as hell YouTubes in the right MRB. You do it to:

1. Boost your pathetic post count. 67K posts is pathetic!

2. Steal traffic from my board

3. Hide the fact you can’t talk about environment issues because you don’t have a clue about them.

If you don’t want to be called a trolling arsehole THEN STOP TROLLING ME! Geez, not hard is it?

That is not abuse. That is advice.

“The Sun” is not really an environmental thread so no.

You continue to troll so I am not inclined to oblige. The environment impacts on plants and critters as I have shown with my trees. You also are too inclined to ban so I am not happy moving threads here.

I think your low post count is at least partly due to you deleting posts so, again, not going to oblige. You want a Sun thread then compile it yourself! Geez Louise, not a difficult concept is it? Or would that cut into trolling time?

Jovial Monk wrote on Jan 17^th, 2024 at 7:29pm:



You're the biggest troll on Ozpolitic - not me.   

HM posts have you deleted from here and why?

Jovial Monk wrote on Jan 17^th, 2024 at 7:32pm:



If they're boring then why would you want them?

You see - you're a troll.

Why can’t you say HM and what topics were deleted?

Mostly my topics are now gone, right? That is why you are too embarrassed to admit to your deleting posts. Why delete, why not just hide?

And yet Polar bears are still with us after warmer periods.

The polar bears returned later than usual to the ice on Western Hudson Bay. The number of polar bears removed from settlements was lower than normal. That is fewer bears out of a larger population caused problems.

"This season lasted 24 weeks, the longest I can remember but apparently only the 5th longest on record. There were a total of 265 incidents by the end of November, more than 100 less than the most recent late-freeze-up year of 2016, which didn’t end until the first week of December (after bears had spent 22 weeks onshore)."


"Last December, researchers vigorously promoted a possible 27% decline in Western Hudson Bay (WH) polar bear abundance but kept hidden the fact that adjacent Southern Hudson Bay (SH) numbers increased by 30% over the same period."

That's Dec 22


Polar Bear Science
Polar bears travel large distances. Who knew?

Don’t believe you. You deleted a LOT of posts, 5–15K I reckon.

Yup. You always deny so that cuts no mustard with me.

So—what posts and HM did you delete?

LOL. No such thing as Co2, dumbarse! Did you mean CO2?

Doofus, you and Larry abused me after you banned me from here on some bullshit reason so you only don’t like “abuse” when it is not you doing the abusing.

Now shoosh while we wait for Sore End to talk science! I HAD told Sore End about Co being cobalt before so he is a dumbarse as are you.

Ooooh! Final Warning!

Geez you really are a pompous fuckwit!

And you DO allow abuse—abuse from you and Larry to me.

Ban me, go on, then whinge I start a new environment topic in Critters and Gardens.

HM posts did you delete? 5K? 10K? The whole fatuous mini ice age crap thread?

To the other members.
Please continue on this topic -
it should be a lot more pleasant now with Monk on holidays.

As the icicles formed on Andy Reid’s bushy mustache and players huddled around heaters, Kansas City’s freezing weather must have sent shivers down the spines of many onlookers.

Conditions at Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs’ 26-7 win over the Miami Dolphins were tough for players and coaches to deal with, but even more so for fans:
the temperature at kickoff was -4 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -20 degrees, making it the fourth coldest game in NFL history, CNN has reported.

At the end of the January 13 game,
the temperature was -9 degrees and felt like -28 degrees, according to the Peacock broadcast.

While players could run around, use heaters on the sidelines and go to the locker-room at halftime to help deal with the cold, fans were forced to wrap up warm and embrace the elements. But it was still too much for some.

The Kansas City Fire Department (KCFD) rendered aid to 69 people – with “close to 50% … for hypothermia symptoms” – during the game, KCFD battalion chief Michael Hopkins told CNN.

Fifteen of the patients seen were transported by KCFD, “seven for hypothermia symptoms, three for frostbite symptoms, and five for various other reasons,” said Hopkins.

What a soft clock cowardly move.

You can't ban your way into earning respect goober. If anything, you banning people because they call you an idiot is one of the reasons why no one respects you
