WEATHER STATIONS SHOW WORLD NOT WARMING

By on September 26th, 2019

MAJORITY OF US STATES RECORDED HIGHEST TEMPERATURES IN THIRTIES OR EARLIER

The US average hottest daily temperatures (AHDT) graph (right) shows 1905 as similar to the reading of 2015. The NOAA temperature graph shows a similar upward warming trend from 1910 to the late 1930’s but from then on a substantial warming trend in contrast to the AHDT chart showing a sharp decline.

COUNCILLOR DIVISION NOT RECORDED IN MINUTES

By on September 13th, 2019

 COUNCILLORS WHO REFUSED TO SUPPORT TRAFFIC STUDY SOUTH OF DONCASTER RD

Councillor Gough, despite the childish interruptions from one particular Councillor, a cheer leader for the administration, and challenges to its relevance while speaking to his motion, was still able to obtain a majority vote determining that the Manningham Infrastructure Services Unit immediately undertake:

1. A new vehicle movement and parking study; and 2. An open space and community amenity study in the area of Doncaster Hill south of Doncaster Road and east of Tram Road. (Precinct 2.)

A division was called by Councillor Gough (pictured left) in relation to the supplementary motion, those Councillors voting for the motion being Councillors Chen, Zafiropoulos, Haynes, Gough and Conlon and those voting against the motion being Councillors  McLeish, Kleinert, Galbally and Piccinini.

MAURICE STRONG INVENTOR OF GLOBAL WARMING

By on August 21st, 2019

“A SOCIALIST IN IDEOLOGY A CAPITALIST IN METHODOLOGY”

Five years ago, Quadrant Online published this profile of Maurice Strong, the man who, more than any other, redefined a trace gas as the meal ticket for tens of thousands of climate functionaries — the same people whose light-fingered heirs are today gathered in Paris. To mark his passing, we once again present John Izzard’s profile of the man who did very nicely by costing everyone else dearly.

Maurice Strong UN

January had certainly been a defining month in the quest for truth about climate change, and the custodians of that “truth” weren’t looking that flash at the then. Indeed in the month of January some of the major doomsday prophecies unravelled and the prophets themselves seemed to undergo vows of silence. Kevin Rudd, Penny Wong, Tim Flannery — who are never lost for words — seemed, well… totally lost for words!

THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Like Dorothy, Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, we’ve all been dancing down the Yellow Brick Road of “settled science” in search of answers from the Emerald City, only to find that what we suspected all along — the Wizard has been telling us fibs. But who exactly is the Wizard? And where did this seeming-madness all begin?

AUSSIES WANT INFRASTRUCTURE NOT IMMIGRANTS

By on July 31st, 2019

POPULATION GROWTH IS NOT AN ECONOMIC PLAN

GDP Growth Annually  Click to enlarge

It will not improve the living standards of you or I; nor will it reduce poverty and inequality or foster innovation and creativity. The only beneficiaries of high immigration are the immigrants themselves and while that is great, we can safely say that the government is not pursuing immigration for humanitarian reasons. Instead it is creating an illusion of growth while hoping you don’t realise the reality”.Australia has the highest population growth in the developed world. But what are our immigration policies trying to achieve?  Excerpt from The Big Australian Illusion by Callum Pickering for The Business Spectator.

Without reforming infrastructure investment, our failures of the past will become our failures of the future.  The only way Continue reading AUSSIES WANT INFRASTRUCTURE NOT IMMIGRANTS →

NOAA KEEPS INCREASING GLOBAL TEMPERATURES

By on July 17th, 2019

“NOAA have increased global temperatures in every year from 2001 to 2017 by an average 0.06 C. Even the latest temperature anomaly for 2017 was raised from 0.84 C to 0.90 C. Your article on March 11th did not include the amended anomalies in the link below published in June this year”..June Hover.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental information, Climate at a Glance: Global Time Series, published June 2019. 1880-2017

In each of NOAA’s Annual Climate Reports, the degree of warming above the long term average of 13.9o C, is listed. From 2007, NOAA Temperature Anomalies 2007, the ten warmest years are shown in order in all of the reports but are increased multiple times in subsequent issues finally arriving at the same temperature anomaly shown in the above Global Time Series. 1880-2017

Take for example the NOAA Climate Report for 2010 NOAA Temperature Anomalies 2010 showing it at the top of the ten warmest years table with an anomaly of 0.62 C.  In the 2011 report it was increased to 0.64 C. By 2012 it was increased to 0.66 C and by 2015 it was listed at 0.70 C, NOAA Temperature Anomalies 2015  finally in the Global Time Series it was again raised to 0.72 C,  equal to a global temperature of 14.62 C when added to the 13.90 C average Global temperature. Without the increased temperatures, excluding the El Nino effect of 2015/16, Continue reading NOAA KEEPS INCREASING GLOBAL TEMPERATURES →

AUSSIE STUDENTS FALL BEHIND WORLD RANKINGS

By on June 19th, 2019

OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE BEING EXPLOITED FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES

No wonder our education standards are in decline when innocent children are being encouraged to attend climate change inaction rallies instead of school. Children who are falling behind in their education and don’t want to participate in the rallies are sent home.  Children need to be children and should wait till they old enough understand what they are protesting against and not going because their teachers told them they had to go. Protests can get ugly and are not where we want our children to be. 

World Education Ranking       Click to Enlarge

The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), which surveys the learning standards and knowledge of 15-year-old students in more than 70 countries throughout the world, shows that Australian and UK student’s scores on reading skills, mathematics and scientific literacy have recorded statistically significant declines since 2000, while poorer countries have continued to improve.

The PISA survey of Australian student education standards below show they were higher in 2012. With PISA the release of 2016 results out, the media is once again bemoaning the falling standards of our Australian education system. Half of Australia’s high school students have flunked the minimum international Continue reading AUSSIE STUDENTS FALL BEHIND WORLD RANKINGS →

CRUNCH TIME FOR COUNCIL TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT

By on June 2nd, 2019

HIGH RISE  TRAFFIC BEING DIRECTED THROUGH RESIDENTIAL STREETS

Councillors have resolved that the Manningham Infrastructure Services Unit immediately undertake: 1. A new vehicle movement and parking study; and 2. An open space and community amenity study in the area of Doncaster Hill south of Doncaster Road and east of Tram Road. This was after the unit had concluded that the street network would not create any adverse traffic, safety or capacity problems.

Street network precinct 2  Click to enlarge

Distance and direction websites are now recommending Elgar Road via sides streets such as Frank, Hanke, Boyd and  Eildon Streets for city outward bound vehicles accessing Doncaster Hill instead of via the more direct route on Doncaster Road because many of  the high rise apartment buildings have no access/exit facility from Doncaster Road, an arterial road without service lanes. Several independent parking and traffic studies on Doncaster Hill had indicated that with the number high rise developments being completed there would be corresponding capacity constraints in the road network with limited opportunities available to accommodate the projected growth in traffic volumes. Congested traffic conditions similar to inner Melbourne were  expected.

Increased traffic was expected to increase travel times at slower vehicle speeds in and around Doncaster Hill. There will Continue reading CRUNCH TIME FOR COUNCIL TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT →

LENDERS & INVESTORS SHY AWAY FROM HIGH RISE

By on May 12th, 2019

NO CAPITAL GAIN FOR MAJORITY OF APARTMENT PURCHASERS

According to market analysts two out of every three high rise apartments purchased off the plan during the last few years have achieved no financial gain. When existing owners of apartments fall into negative equity, property developers become a liability for lenders. When a real estate bubble bursts, everybody loses, unemployment skyrockets, businesses fail and recession invades. Off-plan purchasers could be out of pocket by as much as twenty percent when their deadline for settlement becomes due and payable.

BARRIER REEF WAS POSTER CHILD FOR ALARMISTS

By on April 30th, 2019

“THE REEF LARGELY REGROWS  WITHIN A DECADE TO ITS FORMER GLORY”

Peter Ridd, Professor of Physics, has just won a landmark victory against the James Cook University who had fired him for questioning that the Great Barrier Reef was being destroyed by climate change. “I have published numerous scientific papers showing that much of the “science” claiming damage to the reef is either plain wrong or greatly exaggerated. As just one example, coral growth rates that have supposedly collapsed along the reef have, if anything, increased slightly”.The Great Barrier Reef is in fact in excellent condition. It certainly goes through periods of destruction where huge areas of coral are killed from hurricanes, starfish plagues and coral bleaching”. he said. 

Damaged By Hurricanes, Starfish Plagues And Bleaching…… Not Climate Change

HIGHEST WARMING RATE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY

By on April 12th, 2019

According to NOAA the rate of global warming from 1880 to 2018 was only 0.70 degrees Celsius per century and would have been less had they not increased all the recorded temperatures from 2001 to 2013. Even with the changes to their temperature data, it was nowhere near the 1.36 degrees Celsius per century rate of warming in the period between 1910-1945, almost twice the overall warming rate.

The anomalies, above/below 13.90 C, the average twentieth century global temperature over land and ocean, in NOAA Climate Reports from 2001 to 2013 were increased from an average of 55.4 C to 61.7 C. In the same period, from 2001 to 2013, the UK Met Office had recorded an average anomaly of 48.61 C.

Anomalies appear to have been changed towards the end of the decade, some by as much as 0.08 C, when their list of hottest years summaries were published in the lead up to the Paris Conference in 2015. You have to question why there were no alterations to their data sets in past years if their methodology was flawed and not just those that had indicated there was no significant warming trend for 17-18 years.

Meanwhile, Continue reading HIGHEST WARMING RATE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY →
