T-Shirt Weather!

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.

That counts as 21

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??

Those of use with Premium packages get to blacklist folk and add others as friends (as well as cleaning up when it comes to prize giveaways due to unreasonably small selection pools).
But if I blacklist Mr G, then when the rest of you grumble about him I have to go back and find out what he’d said… 🙁

Unless people quote him?

I refer to the daytime maximums on the wrong side of the high-pressure system like we are getting today and tomorrow. But if we’re on the right side of the same such high-pressure system, we get the –8°C overnight minimums, which are made possible by the dry, still air near the centre of the high (BEFORE it goes to the east of us) which gives us the temperature inversions at night.

Previously when we have been caught in the NW airstream on the wrong side of a high-pressure system, temperatures at this time of the year rarely exceeded 17°C.

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

Yeah, this is why we just have to pay a “carbon tax”, so emissions can be cut and we will get no more of this global warming and thus these alarming maximum-temperature records will cease to be broken hah as if it will make a difference Juliar!!

Huh? I thought she was Juliar because we had the coldest night in 17 years? The wiring in your brain seriously needs looking.

21 C in London and Hyde park is filled with naked men and women lying in the long grass.

Yes, totally bizarre.

Haha, so true and was pretty scary the first time I saw that.

Juliar!!

I love it when morons identify themselves. Saves me the effort.

So annoyed to have to drive in today instead of cycle. But the Forester’s yawningly big sunroof will be wide open later at least…

How long before the climate change brigade take over The Canberra Times, the ABC and the other hard Left media claiming it is all due to “climate change”? Save your breath, brainwashed zombies, we are not listening anymore.

I don’t find this welcoming at all — on the contrary I find this alarming — I mean — according to the record, 20°C was never reached at Canberra Airport before August 11 between 1939 and 2002, and never before August 18 between 1939 and 1995.

Now, for God sake, we have 21°C on the 3rd of August?!!!

I am soooo annoyed to be stuck in an office all day!
