Net Zero will not be possible if we adhere to the Rio Declaration and take responsibility for the embodied carbon in the manufactured goods we import. Principle 2 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. The global agreement to which Australia is a signatory: “States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United […]
WMO HAD RECORDED ZERO GLOBAL TEMPERATURE RISE IN 20 YEARS
The average Global temperature between 1994 and 2013, according to the World Meteorological Organsation, was calculated at only 14.42 C. From 14.57 C in 2014, Global temperatures rose to 15.31 C in 2024. This was an increase of roughly 0.74 C in just 10 years. The 2025 temperature of 15.20 C, was just below the […]
TWO CAVERNS LARGE ENOUGH TO FIT INSIDE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE
Snowy Hydro is pleased to announce another major achievement for the Snowy 2.0 pumped-hydro project, with the breakthrough of the final three metres of the power station’s 223-metre long transformer hall cavern crown. The Snowy 2.0 delivery team began excavating the transformer hall and machine hall caverns in June 2023. The Snowy 2.0 power station […]
EARTH’S ECOSYSTEMS REMAIN RELATIVELY UNTOUCHED BY HUMANS
Around half of Earth’s terrestrial land surface remains relatively untouched by humans, a new study has found. Using a combination of recent global maps of human influence, researchers were able to calculate the average influence humans are having on ecosystems worldwide. These findings provide some hope for our ability to protect and conserve the regions of […]
CLMATE CHANGE TRACKER SHOWS 1964 SAME TEMPERATURE AS 1851
Between 1900 and 1964, atmospheric CO2 concentrations had increased by only 24 parts per million (ppm), from 296 ppm in 1900 to 320 ppm in 1964, almost nothing compared to later decades. Despite two world wars, rapid industrialisation, and the post-World War II economic boom, the increase in CO2 was hardly measurable in terms of […]
TWO IPCC REPORTS AND ONE BY NASA LOOKING MORE LIKE A SCAM
The IPCC had recently shortened the length of time Carbon Dioxide stays in the atmosphere from 200 years to as little as 5 years! In contrast NASA seems to be going the other way: “Changes to our atmosphere associated with reactive gases (gases that undergo chemical reactions) like ozone and ozone-forming and the chemicals like […]
US RECORD BREAKING TEMPERATURES OF 1930’S STILL STAND TODAY
The heat waves of 1934 and 1936 in Mid West and Great Plains are well known. But, perhaps, what is less well appreciated is that record breaking heat waves were both more extensive geographically and were not just confined to these two years. The Capital Weather Gang, who write for the Washington Post, wrote this […]
CLIMATE RECORDS SHOW NO SUSTAINED WARMING TILL AFTER 1964
According to Climate Change Tracker this is the average surface temperature of the Earth over a full year. Global surface temperature combines air temperatures above land with sea surface water temperatures from the ocean’s top layer. It is based on measurements taken by thousands of weather stations on land and sea. The Yearly Average Temperature […]
WMO USED SIX AUTHORITIES TO CALCULATE GLOBAL TEMPERATURES
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) claims it has relied on six primary international authorities and institutions to compile it’s temperature data. consolidated global temperature data: [1, 2] This statement does not reveal that the global temperatures in 2023 and 2024 were pretty much the same as in 1993 and 1994 nor does it mention that WMO […]
AUSTRALIA’S HOTTEST DAY RECORDS HAVEN’T CHANGED SINCE 2013
Australia’s hottest day records remain the same today as when they were published by WMO in 2013. Except for MARREE, South Australia, which was 49.4°C (120.9°F), but that record was officially broken when the town reached a blistering 49.8°C on January 29, 2026. The WALPEUP temperature shown at 48.1 C on the chart was actually […]
