Climate Change in Australia (Part 1)

I would rather charge it at home.
But yeh more electric cars, means more people would be likely to get panels, as it means essentially free charging, and could go for lots of drives in the summer.

Both of those things. If I donā€™t look it will disappear.

Iā€™m tipping itā€™s whoever is paying the power bills. :smirk:

And yet Anastasia, the farken turncoat , goes against her so called beliefs in lieu of losing the next election. Labor & Liberal, they are all the same - Albo will give Adani his seal of approval next.

Iā€™ve never met a businessman yet that likes losing money, so watch this space - itā€™s the only hope we have of slowing down this environmental disaster

Adani is just doing this so he can rip off both the Queensland and Federal governments. He doesnā€™t have a good name, unlike that Indian guy whoā€™s doing stuff in South Oz. Whyalla, is it?

Mmmm, think we are in an el Nino event right now C64

Impossible standard of proof? the eco-loons come out and say 1,000,000 species are going to become extinct.
Your side made the idiotic statement and you canā€™t name ten but expect proof from me.

I will give a starter on the extinction question.

The Green Gravy Train rolls on, $320,000 gets paid by the Queensland Labor government to an American worth $200,000,000 for a lecture on climate change.

Gish galloping again. Any comments to make on the disastrously wrong predictions of your fellow climate genocide denialists, or are you just pretending that never happened?

It must be very hard to cram so many incorrect statements in less than 20 words.

the king of crank websites posts a link to a crank website, colour me surprised.

ā€˜polarbearscience.comā€™ is a one-person blog by a climate genocide denier, who is a scientist of sorts but who has never written a single peer-reviewed article about polar bears.

To deny that the climate has changed, even since say the early 70ā€™s is foolhardy. Obviously different.

To question itā€™s entirely anthropogenically driven based on available data and science (yes, science) is fair and reasonable.

To change deniers into supporters, acknowledge ā€œclimate changeā€ includes a subset ā€œAnthropogenic Climate Changeā€.

Metrics like CO2 ppm isnā€™t the solution. If it has all changed since the industrial revolution have the balls to use climactic measurands and change.

We know weā€™re creating CO2.
We know CO2 is a warming agent.
We know we can do something about that.
We know the rate at which warming has occurred is frightening, and that it has occurred during the time we created a lot more CO2.

Now if you have anything like a theory that overwhelmingly anthropologically usurps that, then please share.

Fair call.

IIRC it was likely but never confirmed, and has not fully developed.

Edit: Yep. Never developed

ENSO Outlook decreased to El NiƱo WATCH; positive IOD possible

Indicators have been close to El NiƱo thresholds over the past several months, but signs have emerged of a weakening of these patterns. As a result, the Bureauā€™s ENSO Outlook has been downgraded to El NiƱo WATCH. This means the chance of El NiƱo developing in 2019 is approximately 50%, which is still double the normal likelihood.

Actually NO. It took millenia during the hot and wet carboniferous epoch for the atmospheric CO2 to be sequestered into the ground and submerged under heavy layers of rock over the intervening millenia until it became coal or oil.

It took just 150 years for humans to dig half of it out and burn it to start the cycle all over again.
