Resisting Climate Hysteria

The king of the Climate Hysteria, Michael Mann, wrote in the WAPO back in April about their predictions for the busiest Hurricane season on record.
Note that these predictions are for named storms, some of which may progress to hurricanes.
There is going to have to be some massive outbreaks of storms to get even close to the 33 figure they forecast.
So far this year there have been 3.
The US is half way through the deemed Hurricane season.
The highest number of named storms was in 2005 with 28.

I posted the above back in July this year after king of climate hysteria, Michal Mann and his scientific team made some bold predictions about the severity of the summer 2024 northern hemisphere hurricane season.
Having reached the end of the season, it will probably come as a surprise to few that the predictions by Mann's research team have fallen somewhat short.
The final result was 18 named storms, 11 of which were at least category 1 hurricanes, 5 of which were category 3 or greater. (source The Statesman )
The 18 final storms was well short of the "best guess" of 33.
back in September, the Washington Post from where the original article came, made mention of the failure of the models in their predictions, and wrote of a number of factors that may have influenced the strange behaviour that they did not expect.
However, the bottom line, none of the models came up with the right answer, sop they now have to go back and try to tweak them until they get somewhat closer.
Or could could just throw their hands in the air and finally admit that they really have little idea as to what drives the weather.

Always found this funny:


My best mate retired from waste services last year, he says recycling is a joke, but it makes people feel good.
The best tip he ever gave me was, the side loader arm is calibrated to lift 80kg. Lol
He was a sparky by trade, but reckoned there was better money in waste services, who would have thought that.
 
Not going to be long before Australia wakes up and stops supporting unreliable, inconsistantant and expensive variable power.

How many more billions are we going to put into this charade?

Another proposed wind farm development has been shelved, with the partners behind a contentious plan in South Australia quietly pulling the project.

An application with federal environmental regulators for the almost $2bn SA offshore wind farm project – also known as the Kingston project – was withdrawn without explanation this month.

The project was originally proposed by British company Australis Energy.

German group Skyborn Renewables – which is involved in operating or under-construction wind farms in Germany, Taiwan, France and the US – stepped in as a 50-50 joint venture partner in 2022.

Under the original plan for the project, about a third of the proposed 75 wind turbines would have sat in state, as opposed to commonwealth, waters.

The closest of the turbines – which together would have been capable of generating up to 600 megawatts of energy – would have been about 6.5km from the coast.
 
Unfortunately @Sean K IMO this has to play out, it is better to have a disaster now, rather than in 15years time IMO.
Hopefully Labor/Greens get in across the board and get to own the outcome, be it good or bad.
 
Perhaps its time to get away from Climate Hysteria and check out climate facts.
What are the consequences occurring as the climate rapidly warms around the world ?

The Arctic has seen massive changes in just 20 years.

The Arctic can feel like a far-off place, disconnected from daily life if you aren’t one of the 4 million people who live there. Yet, the changes underway in the Arctic as temperatures rise can profoundly affect lives around the world.

Coastal flooding is worsening in many communities as Arctic glaciers and the Greenland Ice Sheet send meltwater into the oceans. Heat-trapping gases released by Arctic wildfires and thawing tundra mix quickly in the air, adding to human-produced emissions that are warming the globe. Unusual and extreme weather events, pressure on food supplies and intensifying threats from wildfire and related smoke can all be influenced by changes in the Arctic.

In the 2024 Arctic Report Card, released Dec. 10, we brought together 97 scientists from 11 countries, with expertise ranging from wildlife to wildfire and sea ice to snow, to report on the state of the Arctic environment.

They describe the rapid changes they’re witnessing across the Arctic, and the consequences for people and wildlife that touch every region of the globe.
 
I am currently visiting Canberra for 5 days, last time I was here was about 7 years ago and the temperatures were mid to high 30’s.

Our present visit has given us perfect weather, with a maximum of 30 degrees, slight cloud cover and cool breeze.

I find myself confused by the past few months of weather predictions of us having one of the hottest summers recorded.

Maybe it’s still to come, or is it the doomsday cult?
 
1.64 million extra crimes because the temp goes up 1 degree, or so. You know it makes sense.

Australia will have to contend with an additional 1.64m crimes created by climate change over the course of the rest of the century, an alarming study has found.

Researchers Sefa Awaworyi Churchill, Russell Smyth, and Trong-Anh Trinh came to the staggering conclusion after matching weather data with crime rates over an 18-year period.

Their paper ‘Crime, Weather, and Climate Change in Australia’ found that increasing extreme heat events in Australia will generate an additional 72,000 crimes per year.

If emissions continue to rise as predicted, those yearly increases will amount to approximately 1.64m additional crimes throughout the rest of the 21st century.

Nothing whatsoever with the infestation of incongruent third world cultures of course.
 
But, wouldn't that make the crime rate go down? Maybe cooler weather causes more crimes.
Well, all the high crime areas in the UK are in the cold north. However there is some other coincidence that seems inescapable to behold.
