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!
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."
