Suspect Global Warming Tales: 2013 - No. 4

The Climate Commission established by the feckless Gillard Government in 2011 and headed up by uber-warmie-scaremonger, Professor Timothy Flannery is supposed to be authoritative, independent and a reliable information source on all things climate.  Yet, on the website, they feature a video from the mega scare-monger, Al Gore, who has recently scooped up millions in oil dollars when he sold his interest in lefty cable station, Current TV to Al Jazeera!

Over at our tax-payer funded and ever-so-balanced ABC, the Government-sponsored scare factory is going overboard trying to stampede the geese. 

Poor old Professor David Karoly obviously has not permitted a report from the British Met Office (sneakily slipped into the public domain on Christmas Eve so it wouldn’t be noticed) to land on his desk.  

Extracts:  The Met Office has admitted that global warming has stalled.

Officials say that by 2017, temperatures will not have risen significantly for nearly 20 years.

They concede that previous forecasts were inaccurate – and have come under fire for attempting to ‘bury bad news’ by publishing the revised data on Christmas Eve.

Dr David Whitehouse, science adviser to the Global Warming Policy Foundation, said: ‘That the global temperature standstill could continue to at least  2017 would mean a 20-year period of  no statistically significant change in global temperatures.

‘Such a period of no increase will pose fundamental problems for climate models. If the latest Met Office prediction is correct, then it will prove to be a lesson in humility.’

What!  No warming for two decades?  That’s going to stuff up the error-ridden computer models the warmists deceptively use to try and convince us the planet is doomed.

It’s quite sickening to think people such as PM Gillard, Greens Leader, Christine Milne and of course, the good Professor must stoop so low as to use normal summer events in Australia to peddle their propaganda.

Heatwave exacerbated by climate change: Climate Commission

AM By Simon Lauder

Updated 2 hours 39 minutes ago

A new report from the Federal Government's Climate Commission says the heatwave and bushfires that have affected Australia this week have been exacerbated by global warming.

The report - Off the Charts: Extreme Australian Summer Heat - warns of more extreme bushfires and hotter, longer, bigger and more frequent heatwaves, due to climate change.

It says the number of record heat days across Australia has doubled since 1960 and more temperature records are likely to be broken as hot conditions continue this summer.

When Prime Minister Julia Gillard linked the heatwave with climate change this week, the acting Opposition Leader Warren Truss said that was utterly simplistic.

But climate change experts have no doubt that climate change is a factor in the current conditions.

The scientific advisor to the Climate Commission, Professor David Karoly, has written the report for the Climate Commission to answer questions about the link between heatwaves and climate change.

Not every summer will be hotter than the one before. In fact this year is markedly hotter than the last couple of years when we had relatively milder and wetter conditions.

But what we are going to find on average is more of the hot extremes and faster increases in the future, over the next 10 and 30 years, that we have seen over the last 30 years - more hot extremes, more heatwaves and more extreme fire conditions.

Climate scientists have been talking about these increases for more than 20 years in Australia. We are now seeing exactly what was predicted more than 20 years ago.

Professor David Karoly

"What we have been able to see is clear evidence of an increasing trend in hot extremes, reductions in cold extremes and with the increases in hot extremes more frequent extreme fire danger day," he said.

"What it means for the Australian summer is an increased frequency of hot extremes, more hot days, more heatwaves and more extreme bushfire days and that's exactly what we've been seeing typically over the last decade and we will see even more frequently in the future."
