The Unscience of the King
Apr 10^th, 2026 at 1:43pm

"In short:

So which is it 2026 is the worst year for floods?

2026 is the worst year for cyclones? 2026 is the worst year for fires?

He can remember visiting after Cyclone Tracy and its devastation and thinks that this year was somehow worse? How many died in the Cyclone Narelle? Answer - 0

The death toll is completely & utterly irrelevant.

That's up to our King to prove not me.

So what is relevant?

The floods biggest since 1998? Nope.

Fires - Bigger than the 45m Ha in 1968-69 Nope.

Cyclones - Narelle was a category2 when it got to the Top End and then weakened significantly. So nope.

So just what metric was he relying on for the proclamation? What science?
