Since this interglacial period we are currently in has gone on for a lot longer than normal, at 10,000 years now, you'd think that returning to the worlds current normal state of iceage soon would be inevitable. That article is not as silly as it sounds. See ya's.

No heatwave in northern NSW. In fact I can't remember a period of such perfect weather as the last few weeks. Warm sunny days, coolish nights where you need a few blankets and little to zero wind. And another week at least to go of this bliss. Everything is green and lush as we've had half a...

This is an interesting story I stumbled across,..... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-03-06/weather-books-am/4554930 ......"A northern New South Wales family has uncovered a meteorological treasure in the form of decades of meticulous weather records from more than a century ago...

This is sort of directed at High Equity, but also, anyone can comment of course. As a grain farmer, I'm considered a massive contributer to green house gases. I use probably 80,000 litres of diesel a year, 300 or 400 or so tonnes of fertilizer. Have about 1.5 million dollars worth of US...

I used to think the population debate was a leftie verses rightie issue. It does seem to be that way on this forum. But the show on TV, "Dick Smiths population puzzle" two and a half years ago showed me that it can be a real bipartisan issue, with left and right views all being crossed over and...

Who said anything about 5 Sri Lankans. We are letting in a couple of hundred thousand immigrants. Of course the ones that come from New Zealand or Great Britain or Europe or the US were already producing huge amounts of CO2 where they came from, so they are not really adding any more if they...

double post.......

Yes, your really onto something here. So if your saying we consume so much in Australia we don't really want to keep increasing our population do we? Every immigrant who comes here straight away consumes 4 times what they did compared to where they came from. So why do we let in so many...

Yeah, if Turnbull was prime minister he might have been silly enough to bring in some sort of carbon tax, but what's that matter, he got booted out because of his CO2 views. Whats the bet that if Tony Abbott was prime minister he'd have done nothing. He'd have said,..... "Oh, the GFC has...

In 2007, Flannery predicted global warming would so dry our continent that desalination plants were needed to save three of our biggest cities from disaster. As he put it: "Over the past 50 years, southern Australia has lost about 20 per cent of its rainfall, and one cause is almost certainly...

I couldn't get much out of that as far as city heat islands go. I looked hard too. Lets compare some more places then, but small towns, so less likely to be effected by concrete and bitumin and airconditioners and millions of people, and on the coast like Sydney, up and down from Sydney...

How do they compensate for big city heat islands? I notice some of the records were set in Sydney and Hobart. Gee's, concrete and bitumin would store and reflect heat more than grass and crops. I live not far from 'The Fence'. It wasn't a record hot summer here, no way. And from Australia...
