Thanks for pointing this out, i did forget the sarc tag. 

Have come across McIntosh a few times over the years and his membership at the ANU’s Climate Change Institute is what&#039;s most concerning. Something i didn&#039;t mention earlier was all five current Australian members of the Trilateral Commission come from Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU, including John Hewson. Ross Garnaut was a member from 2005-2014.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sure the data &#039;corrections&#039; will be on the way soon in order to wet the past and change the trend.

Scott Morrisson is crashing and burning on this issue.

All we need is a PM with a spine who is willing to hold the line and tell the Truth; tell the media to hang and let the CSIRO know that a royal commission is on the way to investigate climate data meddling and ideological bias within our supposed &#039;scientific&#039; body. Then watch the roaches scurry in all directions like a pest controller has just arrived.</description>

		<description>Peter, if I had 1000 years of Australian rainfall I would use that. But we only have 178 at most, and the BOM only offers 120 in those graphs. Therefore I picked &quot;the longest&quot;. Why are you having so much trouble with the concept of &quot;ALL&quot; the data.?

The federation drought &quot;might&quot; skew it, but the recent drought &quot;might&quot; skew it too. And since we have 178 years of data in the big Eastern capitals I feel very safe saying &quot;its a fair trend&quot;. Since we have 1000 years of proxies, I&#039;m happy to say &quot;it&#039;s mostly natural&quot; as well.</description>

		<description>Absolutely right!

We can only know past climate via proxies but all of the proxies have credibility problems that are ignored by the CAGW racket because nothing must be allowed to interfere with their escalating attack on the democracies to benefit the Marxist-Communist dictatorships.

A trend must have a beginning with which the present is compared ...and with no reliable knowledge of the EXACT metrics of the beginning...especially when dealing with tiny fractions of degrees...there is no trend...there is no climate change ...only the slight warming as the earth has continued to emerge from the LIA. 

Within the CO2 era there&#039;s only one period of significant GW that&#039;s not interspersed with very significant coolings...and that period  has totally natural causes...the ocean upwelling that was The Great Pacific Climate Shift of the late 70s and the uber-El Nino of the late 90s...nothing at all to indicate CO2 as a cause.

The fact that those who are militantly using the CAGW fairytale to dismantle modern civilization...and those who play along for personal gratification of one kind or another....whose whole case is the antithesis of science....the fact that they are not even required by our government to specify a credible CO2-induced CAGW period within the CO2 time-frame....bodes very badly for the RC into the bushfires and the suggested RC into climate change. 

And if the Bushfire RC doesn&#039;t produce verified/verifiable credible arson figures...we&#039;ll know we&#039;re being mushroomed...criminally so....it has the distinct odor of a cover-up already.

When &#039;leaders&#039; feel no need to get at the truth for the people and for Australia on a matter as life-changing and existential as this...they betray us and are therefore unfit to lead..IMO.</description>

		<description>21 Feb: UK Telegraph: America’s most outspoken economist takes on the Trump ‘zombies’ 
Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman takes on ‘Trumponomics’ and warns the UK economy risks slipping into a persistent state of stagnation 
by Tom Rees
PIC: Paul Krugman has broken out of academic circles in the US to appear on late night chat shows
Paul Krugman warns that Capitol Hill has been overrun by zombies ahead of November’s crucial US election. 
Washington’s living dead and their “zombie ideas” are shambling along and feasting on the brains of voters and policymakers, says the Nobel Prize-winning economist.
“Trump’s domestic agenda is built around the usual Republican zombies...&quot;...
Krugman worries that “zombie ideas” – those that should have been killed off by evidence but stumble on to infect voters and policymakers’ minds – have already taken hold in the US.
The 66-year-old insists in the opening line of his new book Arguing with Zombies that “punditry was never part of the plan”, yet he has become America’s most outspoken economist in the Trump era...

15 Nov 2019: Yahoo Finance: Paul Krugman: Always Wrong, Never in Doubt
by David Harsanyi, National Review
One of the nation’s leading doomsayers has been the New York Times’ perpetually mistaken Paul Krugman, who warned shortly after the 2016 election that Trump’s victory would trigger a global recession “with no end in sight.” We could file that under “post-election hysteria,” but as late as April of this year he was still telling crowds that the bond-market signals predicted “a pretty good chance of a recession sometime in the next year or so.” And he has kept this going all year:
February 11: Paul Krugman expects a global recession this year, warns “we don’t have an effective response.”
August 1: “Why Was Trumponomics a Flop?”
August 15: “From Trump Boom to Trump Gloom”
September 5: “Trumpism Is Bad for Business”
October 3: “Here Comes the Trump Slump”
October 24: “The Day the Trump Boom Died”...

9 Nov 2016: Politico: Paul Krugman: Trump will bring global recession 
By ADAM CANCRYN
The economic fallout of a Donald Trump presidency will probably be severe and widespread enough to plunge the world into recession, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman warned in a New York Times opinion piece (LINK) published early Wednesday...
Calling Trump the &quot;mother of all adverse effects,&quot; the Nobel Prize-winning economist predicted that the GOP nominee&#039;s administration could quickly undo the progress that the markets around the world have made in the eight years since the financial crisis...
&quot;Under any circumstances, putting an irresponsible, ignorant man who takes his advice from all the wrong people in charge of the nation with the world&#039;s most important economy would be very bad news,&quot; he wrote...
Krugman&#039;s pessimistic view comes in the wake of a more than 800-point plunge in U.S. stock futures that coincided with Trump&#039;s increasingly strong showing in the polls...

19 Feb: Heritage: Trump’s Critics on the Economy: So Wrong, So Often
by Stephen Moore
Key Takeaways:
1:  A chorus line of the President&#039;s critics predicted an economic and stock market free fall if Trumponomics were implemented. 
2: Trump didn’t destroy the economy. He rebuilt it.
3: The wonder of it all is that the anti-Trumpers are still squawking from their lofty perches as if nothing that happens in the real world really matters... 
A chorus line of President Donald Trump’s critics, including the best and brightest minds of the liberal intelligentsia, predicted an economic and stock market free fall if Trumponomics were implemented. They weren’t just wrong; in many cases, they were fantastically wrong. So wrong that Paul Krugman, the leader of the Armageddon brigades four years ago, recently had to cry uncle. He begrudgingly admitted the Trump economy is doing “pretty well,” which is like saying that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a “pretty good year.” Then, he insisted that Trump is a moron...

And in case there was any voter confusion about the menace that Trump represented, a Washington Post editorial in October 2016 declared, “A President Trump Could Destroy the World Economy.” There were dozens of stories about why the Trump tax cuts couldn’t and wouldn’t work.
You might even say there was a “scientific consensus.”...READ ON

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>21 Feb: UK Telegraph: America’s most outspoken economist takes on the Trump ‘zombies’<br />
Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman takes on ‘Trumponomics’ and warns the UK economy risks slipping into a persistent state of stagnation<br />
by Tom Rees<br />
PIC: Paul Krugman has broken out of academic circles in the US to appear on late night chat shows<br />
Paul Krugman warns that Capitol Hill has been overrun by zombies ahead of November’s crucial US election.<br />
Washington’s living dead and their “zombie ideas” are shambling along and feasting on the brains of voters and policymakers, says the Nobel Prize-winning economist.<br />
“Trump’s domestic agenda is built around the usual Republican zombies&#8230;&#8221;&#8230;<br />
Krugman worries that “zombie ideas” – those that should have been killed off by evidence but stumble on to infect voters and policymakers’ minds – have already taken hold in the US.<br />
The 66-year-old insists in the opening line of his new book Arguing with Zombies that “punditry was never part of the plan”, yet he has become America’s most outspoken economist in the Trump era&#8230;<br />

<p>15 Nov 2019: Yahoo Finance: Paul Krugman: Always Wrong, Never in Doubt<br />
by David Harsanyi, National Review<br />
One of the nation’s leading doomsayers has been the New York Times’ perpetually mistaken Paul Krugman, who warned shortly after the 2016 election that Trump’s victory would trigger a global recession “with no end in sight.” We could file that under “post-election hysteria,” but as late as April of this year he was still telling crowds that the bond-market signals predicted “a pretty good chance of a recession sometime in the next year or so.” And he has kept this going all year:<br />
February 11: Paul Krugman expects a global recession this year, warns “we don’t have an effective response.”<br />
August 1: “Why Was Trumponomics a Flop?”<br />
August 15: “From Trump Boom to Trump Gloom”<br />
September 5: “Trumpism Is Bad for Business”<br />
October 3: “Here Comes the Trump Slump”<br />
October 24: “The Day the Trump Boom Died”&#8230;</p>
<p>9 Nov 2016: Politico: Paul Krugman: Trump will bring global recession<br />
By ADAM CANCRYN<br />
The economic fallout of a Donald Trump presidency will probably be severe and widespread enough to plunge the world into recession, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman warned in a New York Times opinion piece (LINK) published early Wednesday&#8230;<br />
Calling Trump the &#8220;mother of all adverse effects,&#8221; the Nobel Prize-winning economist predicted that the GOP nominee&#8217;s administration could quickly undo the progress that the markets around the world have made in the eight years since the financial crisis&#8230;<br />
&#8220;Under any circumstances, putting an irresponsible, ignorant man who takes his advice from all the wrong people in charge of the nation with the world&#8217;s most important economy would be very bad news,&#8221; he wrote&#8230;<br />
Krugman&#8217;s pessimistic view comes in the wake of a more than 800-point plunge in U.S. stock futures that coincided with Trump&#8217;s increasingly strong showing in the polls&#8230;</p>
<p>19 Feb: Heritage: Trump’s Critics on the Economy: So Wrong, So Often<br />
by Stephen Moore<br />
Key Takeaways:<br />
1:  A chorus line of the President&#8217;s critics predicted an economic and stock market free fall if Trumponomics were implemented.<br />
2: Trump didn’t destroy the economy. He rebuilt it.<br />
3: The wonder of it all is that the anti-Trumpers are still squawking from their lofty perches as if nothing that happens in the real world really matters&#8230;<br />
A chorus line of President Donald Trump’s critics, including the best and brightest minds of the liberal intelligentsia, predicted an economic and stock market free fall if Trumponomics were implemented. They weren’t just wrong; in many cases, they were fantastically wrong. So wrong that Paul Krugman, the leader of the Armageddon brigades four years ago, recently had to cry uncle. He begrudgingly admitted the Trump economy is doing “pretty well,” which is like saying that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a “pretty good year.” Then, he insisted that Trump is a moron&#8230;</p>
<p>And in case there was any voter confusion about the menace that Trump represented, a Washington Post editorial in October 2016 declared, “A President Trump Could Destroy the World Economy.” There were dozens of stories about why the Trump tax cuts couldn’t and wouldn’t work.<br />
You might even say there was a “scientific consensus.”&#8230;READ ON<br />

		<description>You are insulting the Blog&#039;s author Fitz !
And it got published for all of us to see !

BTW , why 120 years ? because that&#039;s how far back the accurate records go !
It is only BOM which thinks there were no accurate wether observations prior to it&#039;s birth in 1910 !
Now that is an example of profoundly self obsessed ignorance !
Much like your own actually !</description>
