I am a slow learner… Discussing the climate change or carbon tax with Mr G would be like trying to teach a hamster metaphysics. Only more painful.
I apologise if my analysis of the weather record sounds like I am working for Juliar Gillard by advocating her case that “climate change is real” and thereby prompts you to put me on ignore, but I assure you I am not pursuing her agenda. I am merely reporting the fact that we are getting temperature trends that continue to show a deteriorating trend, and you can’t get much more obvious than the ever-earlier 20°C days in August over the past 20–30 years I am seeing.

21.3° at 2:20pm according to BOM. Lovely jogging weather around the lake at lunchtime.

Also, how do you suppose a carbon tax would stop these temperatures in these situations from going up any further??

I am not against a carbon tax, I am against it being used to provide concessions to people to cancel it out and it therefore changes nothing. I would be happy to pay the extra $10 a week if it was going to researching decent renewable energy.

On the other hand I would be willing to stump up for RA premium membership if it meant I didn’t have to read comments by Mr G…..is that possible JB??
