If only you read this blog Gee Aye, your comments could be so much more worthwhile.
We said energy costs would rise, and they rose. We said blackouts would happen and they did. We said fires would be appalling where fuels loads were high and they are.
We said inflation would take off in Jan 2022 due to massive pandemic money printing and it did.
We said people would die who didn’t need to in the Covid pandemic due to a lack of Vit D/ivermectin/HCQ/Zn etc. We said doctors were being censored and it would cost lives and thousands died.
14,000 Australians died of something mysterious last year and no one wants to research it

Jo,
that’s a brilliant, illuminating summary of past efforts to shine the light of Truth.
https://joannenova.com.au/2023/07/tuesday-16/#comment-2688435
I, like many here, watched the effort, honesty and integrity needed to rebuild Australia after World War Two and then, over the last fifty years, watched as all of that wonderful progress was torn down by people who hungered for money, power and faux fame.
At the beginning of this decline our democracy was still functioning and the People were able to demand a special Vote to throw out the elected officials who had “misbehaved”.
We had a voice back then.
This is not about Left or Right or Commies vs Conservatives; we have a problem with graft and corruption, crime and punishment.
Australia: poor fella my country.

Millions of lives would have been saved if key Governments had listened to WHO advice at the start of the pandemic.

Less people died in 2020 and 2021 then any time before, how many less would have died from listening to Gates and Tedros.
CDC has admitted they over counted COVID deaths by 50%.
17% increase in all-cause mortality since the untested experimental concoction, dished out by corporations who only care about our health.
How many less would have died in Australia Simon if we had listened to the genocidal maniacs, because we are racking up quite a score worldwide now from listening to your crowd. All-cause mortality sky rockets, how is the WHO investigation into this mass murder going Simon?
Are you up to date?

Simon,
surely that should be “billions, or even Quadrillions?
If you want to make a point, you really need to go for it mann.
Perhaps you should take some lessons in statistics; it was the backbone of the Plandemic.
CV19 took very few.
The VaXXines took many.
That’s the ugly truth.

There will never be a One World Government. The peoples of the World and their languages and cultures are way too different for that to work.
Not only that, but Russia and China would never sign up to a One World Government. Let alone any others.

Ah. Yes. Klaus.

At the beginning of COVID the WHO’s principal recommendation was NOT to employ lockdowns except only as an extreme last resort.
Dan Andrews and presumably his then health minister included NO LOCKDOWNS as major part of Victoria’s original Anti Covid Plan.
Early in Covid, Dan did a backflip, fired heath minister Jenny Mikakos, and made LOCKDOWNS his primary covid weapon which he used time and again.

I should make an application.
I have an engineering degree.
I also own a dart board, have a box of liquid paper, a dozen erasers and lots of yellow, ochre, red and vivid crimson crayons.
My skillset is diverse… My main hobby is working as a magician/illusionist. What is real to you, I can distort before your very own eyes.
I am also an expert in using a heat gun and/or mirror to warm things like “Stevenson screens” and I am competant in misplacing or hiding historical records if required.
And a bonus…. For any future media reports that I may be required to author… I am competant in including the words “catastrophic”, “unprecendented” and “hottest ever”, all in the one sentence.
160
Wait a month or six & all modelling, meteorologists, scientists ( magicians too ) will be made redundant along with all their Stevenson screens, homogenised data, satellite data.
Climate science based on their modelling has/is failing ( see events all across Europe, UK for starters.) hence the sudden birth of AI.
AI is the new “ modelling “ to spread the BS in the hope that this almighty AI will convince everyone that humans are not responsible for the new AB ( aka Artificial Bullshite ).
Hundreds of thousands will swallow the new AB because the new magicians suddenly have a source of information untouched by “ biased or dishonest “ humans.
Bad news people it’s a new modelling program from the same authors using the same homogenised data with the same ambition of destroying the western economies.
Just wait a while & see how the new climate predictions are launched as a product of the new AI. ( or AB if you see thru the whole hoax )
40
The reality is that, with all their supercomputers and AI, they cannot accurately predict the weather more than a couple of days in advance, so does anyone really believe they can predict events several years or decades in advance. You might just as well use chicken bones or seaweed.

Local butcher, farm and restaurant trasher, Tash Peterson, has now relocated to the world stage. Here she is on Piers Morgan, who is not a fan of hers.

I have searched for confirmation of the below interview, but found nothing. Someone may know more. I knew that the farmer was responsible for the removal of a turbine at the end of its life.
I received an email with a clip (unable to forward) from an interview with a former Policy Advisor for a Liberal Party Senator working in renewable energy. It was her job to uncover the things with the Renewable Energy Act which was put in in 2002 under the Howard Government. The Act creates a subsidy environment which means that if a wind turbine is installed the company is paid between $600,000 and $900,000 per turbine per year as a subsidy alone. What happens is the wind company comes onto private land and pays a lease to the farmer to build the wind turbines which then ensures that the farmer is still liable for the turbine and the farmer is paid $12,000 per year for the lease while the company is paid up to $900,000 per turbine per year. So if a turbine should catch alight, the farmer is responsible for any damage to their own and/or their neighbours’ properties. The amount of the subsidy to the company is taking $40 billion out of the Australian economy per year paid by everyone, not just from tax, but from the power bills. She further explains that a turbine draws power from the grid in order for them to turn until the wind kicks in and they turn by themselves, but that self generated power is intermittent and when it is returned to the grid it has to be balanced on the grid which is not possible as the power station can’t be ramped up and down as needed. Her final words are “there’s absolutely nothing about them that works apart from the money that is being reamed from the economy, which is going offshore”.
Would be interested if anyone knows about the accuracy of this. ToM

Nada.
You need to save and upload the clip so we can see it.😁

But I did find this, which is interesting reading, and you may find relevant info if you pore through it enough.

nah, best if you avoid it!
“Only 18% of respondents swallowed the Liberal’s line that recent electricity price rises were due to renewable energy. 58% put it down to privatisation and lack of competition.”
So 60% of the people he lives around are basically as thick as a brick.. Well, that was back in 2017, has anything changed?
51
It was embedded in an email and when I copied the address it failed to produce. Tried other methods, none of which worked. I’ve effectively transcribed all that she said in the clip. ToM

Sen. Matt Canavan: Each wind turbine in Australia gets $600,000 in taxpayer subsidies per year. They only run at 40% capacity. 77% foreign-owned.
clip from Sky Noos
130
40% capacity – that’s generous. More like 30 % max.
130
Yes, 30% from Tony’s hard work. The 40% figure seems to have originated from EIA in the U.S. then made its way to Aust via Aurecon and CSIRO. Worse still, they then claim that some sort of nebulous “improvements” will this rise to 45% then even higher. That’s absolute rubbish, as it seems that the turbines have to be derated after only 10 years, with the derating dropping to 50% of nameplate. So there is absolutely no way we are going to see any wind CF above 30%.
80
It was only yesterday I commented about the opposition leader introducing policies to cut subsidies to renewables immediate takes office & promoting new coal powered HELE & Nuclear powered generation.
1)). The renewables subsidy beneficiaries will up stakes & move to another country offering subsidies, if any others are dumb enough to equal Australian stupidity.
2) The opposition would be flooded with voters to wanting to see someone intelligent in power.
DUMP THE SUBSIDIES. SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF MORONS IDENTIFYING AS ENERGY EXPERTS OR PRIME MINISTERS!!

problem is the lobbyists control both parties.
80
Lobbyists are the end result of weak leadership. Who in God’s name governs the country. A huge problem is those who do not want be accountable. Lobbyists present the perfect excuse for weak ineffective leadership, which we have all suffered for the last 20 years.
70
they pick the leaders
e.g. when turnbull was punted
morrison was literally chosen over dutton by the powerbrokers/lobbyists.
60
The public ‘service’ runs the country – according to their own agenda.

guess who picks the public servants.
30
They’re the ones who rule the world – by placing their ‘servants’ to run their ‘countries.’
20
They do not govern in God’s name, they govern on behalf of the people. Govern means control, they do not control on the behalf of God.
The Libs have been dominated by lobbyists since at least Howard and you want to put exactly the same crew back in. Do you have a BDSM fetish, because you love punishment?

Extreme heat waves explained (inadvertently):

Nothing about GHG forcing; they can’t pin the tail on that donkey – yet. But in the “near future” apparently:
Another case of missattribution coming soon, complete with pretzel logic.
Nothing about a solar source for meridianal to wavy jet stream change i.e. what caused the jet stream change in the first place?

02
Simon >”Extreme heat in North America, Europe and China in July 2023 made much more likely by climate change”
Study says nothing whatsoever about the change from meridional to wavy jet streams so no actual attribution of the heat waves.
And obviously if they don’t address the jet streams they cannot make an attribution for the CHANGE from meridional to wavy – that driver is what is causing the heat waves and the intensity of them in the first instance.
They are so far out of the loop there is no point to the exercise but I note this:
Without the change in jet streams these events would be non-existent. And see Jo’s next post – “European heatwaves: Soldiers died in the heat in 1160, Rivers ran dry in 1303, animals fell dead in 1393”
What was the driver back then before “human induced climate change” ?

Australia to Buy 20 C-130J Aircraft From US for Almost $10 Billion
Australia will buy 20 new C-130J Hercules aircraft from the United States for $9.8 billion, with first deliveries expected in late 2027, the Australian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
The first aircraft is expected to be delivered beginning in late 2027, according to the statement.
“The Albanese Government will purchase 20 new C-130J Hercules aircraft for the Royal Australian Air Force for $9.8 billion. This will provide the Air Force with state of the art C-130 Hercules to meet the air transport needs of the future,” the ministry said in a statement.
The new acquisitions will replace and expand the 12 Hercules aircraft currently in service, the ministry added. The aircraft are used by the Australian military to transport personnel, equipment and humanitarian supplies, as well as for search and rescue operation, disaster relief and medical evacuation missions, the statement said.
The C-130J Hercules are designed by US aerospace giant Lockheed Martin.

$10B wasted on wars & military equipment and that could have been spent repairing the plandemic damage. As if that’d happen.
While we’re on military waste:
Few people came out of America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan looking good. A rare exception was John Sopko, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). Sopko was the Cassandra of the American war effort, repeatedly revealing unwelcome truths only to be equally repeatedly ignored. In charge of auditing the vast sums of money that the US government spent on economic aid and reconstruction in Afghanistan, SIGAR’s office issued regular reports detailing waste, incompetence, and corruption on a scale that boggles the mind. Among other things, SIGAR published stories of how the US spent $6 million airlifting nine Italian goats to Afghanistan; spent $486 million buying aircraft for the Afghan airforce which were so dangerous to fly that they were never used and were turned into $32,000 of scrap metal; and spent $150 million building luxury villas to lodge staff of its economic development office. All this was just the tip of a very large iceberg.
The basic lesson of SIGAR’s many reports was that throwing vast sums of money into poor countries doesn’t promote economic development. Instead, it encourages corruption and inefficient economic practices. Formal institutions (laws, governments) depend upon informal ones, such as local customs and social structures, that foreigners do not understand, leading to misguided policies and misdirection of funds. Efforts to impose Western formal institutions on top of these very different informal ones, and then flooding the country with Western advisors and money, ends up being counterproductive. None of this, of course, is particularly revelatory. Critics of foreign aid programs have been saying much the same for years.

There’s no reason why Aus couldn’t build C-130’s here.
20
You misunderstand. The way it works is you buy their planes, you buy their subs, you buy their ships and vehicles. Then you don’t/can’t manufacture anything and because it’s American technology you only hold licenced rights to carry out limited maintenance, so you also lose technical skills. You have effectively become a part of the USA MIC. Your tax payer funds will now go towards supporting the american economy.
Welcome to the machine.
140
Actually, there’s a good reason. Thanks to a combination of government policy failures, and unionism, our once excellent aerospace sector no longer exists.
We can’t even build motor cars anymore. Let alone a C-130.

The only active aircraft building entity in Australia is the members of Recreational Aviation Australia(Builders of kit aircraft)But even they are being decimated by increasing membership fees.regulations and other disincentives to continue to nurture this vital breeding ground for the future of Australian Aviation.(I have 60 years in the industry and am dismayed by its decline over that time)

Here’s the way it works.
In the NWO, the FUSA (formerly united states) become the arsenal of the Global Military/Climate/Pharma Complex.

The USA retains it’s Troglodyte reputation.

The Guardian and the BBC get to be appalled over tea and crumpets.
John Kerry’s wife gets a new jet.

The 7 Benefits of Grass Fed Beef: The Nutritional Powerhouse
Grass-fed beef is one of the most nutrient-dense proteins you can buy. It has an extensive micronutrient profile and contains a good amount of brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids.
Beef from grass-fed cattle is lower in total fat content because their diet is more natural and clean.
Beef from grass-fed cows contains a certain beneficial fatty acid called CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). CLA can help prevent several diseases and conditions like obesity and diabetes.
CLA is considered to be one of the strongest nutrients which can defend against cancer. A study conducted on women who were given high amounts of CLA-rich foods had roughly a 60% lower risk in breast cancer over those who had little to no amounts of CLA in their diet.
Grass-fed beef provides up to six times more omega–3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef. Grain-fed beef, on the other hand, contains higher levels of omega–6 fatty acids, which are already eaten in surplus in most standard American diets.
Some studies show that conventional beef is more prone to containing bacteria than grass-fed beef. One of the largest studies conducted by Consumer Reports analyzed 300 packages of ground beef. They found an antibiotic-resistant bacteria, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), in three of the grain-fed samples and zero in the grass-fed packages.
Additionally, they found 18% of the non-grass-fed beef samples containing superbugs — bacteria that is resistant to more than three types of antibiotics — compared to only 9% of beef samples from grass-fed livestock.
In just one grass-fed strip steak (214 grams) you’ll receive:
49 g protein
45 mg omega–3 fatty acids
0.3 mg Riboflavin (16% DV)
14.3 mg Niacin (72% DV)
1.4 mg Vitamin B6 (70% DV)
28 mcg Folate (7% DV)
2.7 mcg Vitamin B12 (2.7% mcg)
1.5 mg Pantothenic Acid (15% mg)
139 mg Choline
16.3 mg Betaine
19 mg Calcium (2% DV)
4 mg Iron (22% DV)
49 mg Magnesium (12% DV)
454 mg Phosphorus (45% DV)
732 mg Potassium (21% DV)
118 mg Sodium (5% DV)
7.7 mg Zinc (52% DV)
45 mcg Selenium (64% DV)

Persistent Damage to the Gut Microbiome After Covid-19 mRNA Injection
The gastrointestinal tract and the mouth, nose, and sinuses are heavily populated with microorganisms, some of which are true commensals—living in humans and deriving their sustenance from the surface cells of the body without doing any harm—and others of which are indistinguishable from what establishment medicine calls “disease germs”. The latter may live like true commensals in a particular tract in a human and never cause disease. When the environment is altered, however, they are found over-present concomitant with a severe illness in their host. This paradox has never been explained by “modern science”, which invariably insists that these microbes are pathogens, should be universally feared and “vaccinated” against. These arguments are also cornerstone to the biodefense racket by which the “virologists”, “vaccinologists” and related parasites in the military-industrial complex derive wealth, power and social prestige.
This study showed that C-19 injections damage gut flora (as measured by bifidobacteria levels) and that the damage persists in 4 patients for up to 9 months. After 9 months, bifidobacteria levels dropped to practically zero.
Another paper I would like to highlight is Dr. Hazan’s “Lost Microbes in Covid” paper in BMJ Gastroenterology:
Results: Compared with controls (n=20), severely symptomatic SARS-CoV-2-infected patients (n=28) had significantly less bacterial diversity (Shannon Index, p=0.0499; Simpson Index, p=0.0581), and positive patients overall had lower relative abundances of Bifidobacterium (p<0.0001), Faecalibacterium (p=0.0077) and Roseburium (p=0.0327), while having increased Bacteroides (p=0.0075). Interestingly, there was an inverse association between disease severity and abundance of the same bacteria.
Conclusion: We hypothesise that low bacterial diversity and depletion of Bifidobacterium genera either before or after infection led to reduced proimmune function, thereby allowing SARS-CoV-2 infection to become symptomatic. This particular dysbiosis pattern may be a susceptibility marker for symptomatic severity from SARSCoV-2 infection and may be amenable to preinfection, intrainfection or post infection intervention.
https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/persistent-damage-to-the-gut-microbiome
As I’ve covered before, the gut microbiome and certain bacteria in particular are showing up more and more to be critical for preventing a wide range of diseases, from the flu to Covid, cancer, Alzheimer’s etc.
Protecting and encouraging a healthy biome is probably THE most important thing you can do.
Imagine if everyone had a healthy microbiome.
Covid wouldn’t stand a chance, nor its successor, whatever that might be.
Plandemics wouldn’t happen, the WEF and WHO would have no power or justification for any control measures, nor would any government. Just saying…
As for bifidobacteria, prebiotics rather than probiotics is the go as most probiotics are non-enteric so don’t make it past the stomach intact.
Breast milk is actually one of the best sources, but…😎
Polyphenols, soluble fibers, resistant starches, GOS, FOS, and HMOs like 2’-fucosyllactose directly feed Bifidobacteria and support their growth.
Apple peels, black and green tea, dark chocolate, coffee, olives, olive oil, turmeric, and dark fruits like pomegranate, cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, along with something like Pure HMO prebiotic powder if you prefer a simpler solution.

Jo has provided articles on the many modes of ivermectin vs COVID. But it seems there is some relationship between ivermectin and gut flora as well. Which is why the mectin group, in general, are very good vs endoparasites ie worms. If only we had allocated $100b towards ivermectin research. Some or all of this would have been elucidated by now. We may also have IV ivermectin and possibly effervescent tablets to use under the tongue etc. Sigh.

I’d be delighted to just get the current tablets. When I thought I needed them. And I’d have some on standby.

the many modes of ivermectin vs COVID. But it seems there is some relationship between ivermectin and gut flora as well.
I wonder if an observational study of the effect of ivermectin on Irritable Bowel Syndrome would be worth the effort.
Two doses (.2mg/kg body weight) seven to ten days apart. Review in 6-8 weeks.
Though it might be seriously worthwhile to have a lower body CT dye scan before attempting such. That would eliminate almost all structural issues in the gut which could be an alternative cause.
20
I have had a sick cow for 10 days. Cant get the vet, so have treated her with good old Ivermectin. Will see what happens.

We take Meta Align, which contains Bifidobacterium Infantis. It is interesting that Australian immunologist Prof. Clancy has always argued that Covid 19 is primarily a mucosal virus – hence the importance of the role of the gut.

MAN-MADE LOCAL CLIMATE CHANGE…
“Authorities on the Greek island of Corfu say arson is to blame for the extreme fires across Rhodes. But Prof Richard Betts, Head of Climate Impact and Research at the Met Office, says it doesn’t matter what started the fires – climate change has made them worse.”

This is technically correct, as the more CO2 the more fuel there is to burn.

Does anyone believe that greenie Leftists are NOT lighting these forest fires?
51
“Arson doesn’t spread fires.” it does if the arsonist understands fire dynamics.
51
What’s more dangerous:
1. Massive uncontrolled fuel load sitting around unmanaged, ready to burn via Lightning or arsonist.
2. A one degree C temperature rise (which was probably mostly natural).
The worst fires don’t happen at Marble Bar. They happen in SE Victoria or the high cool Alps.

Item No 1 is the big issue, and has been for the last fifty years.
Not doing required maintenance of national parks and local government areas is a gigantic Money Saver for the big spenders who can.get access to the “savings”.
The fires in Greece when they had their last big drama a few years ago, were very obviously due to a failure to maintain the environment.
Politicians love these fire dramas because they can grandstand on the vaporous concept of our CO2 guilt and tax us more.
20
Here in NQ, they blocked off the fire roads in Nat parks and state forests, seems the only people who have access are the arsonists.
00
That doesn’t seem to tie in with a very good CSIRO series of tests by lighting small fires based on eucalypt litter levels. They determined that the amount of forest litter doesn’t have to be that much – around 20-30 tonnes per hectare, before a lit fire very quickly is out of control and almost impossible to stop.
Since eucalypts drop litter at a rate of around 8tonnes/ha every year, with only 29% decomposing annually, it doesn’t take long before the litter builds up to unmanageable levels.

Of course, the Chef would know some very deep secrets of either the Clintons or Obamas.

and to reduce suspicion why not kill him (or dump the body) right outside his home, presumably by forced drowning to fit with the story, and pay a bunch of his friends to pretend they witnessed it. Brilliant.

Super killer T-cells discovered in patients who beat cancer
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown type of immune cell that develops in people who successfully fight off cancer. Unlike other killer T cells, these home in on multiple cancer-associated targets at once, preventing new tumors forming for up to a year later and could lead to more effective cancer therapies.
Our immune system is our first line of defense against pathogens or disease, including cancer, but sometimes it needs some help. That’s the basis behind an emerging field of treatment called immunotherapy, which involves removing immune cells from a patient, supercharging them and returning them to the body to attack the cancer with renewed vigor.
In the new study, researchers at Cardiff University investigated what biological differences there could be between successful and unsuccessful rounds of treatment in different patients. Over a decade they followed a phase I and II clinical trial examining what’s known as Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, which focuses on the white blood cells that are already at work in the patient’s tumor.
The researchers focused on patients that successfully cleared their cancer after the treatment. They exposed blood samples from patients to tumor cells that had previously been taken from the same patient, and found that the survivors’ killer T cells still showed very strong responses even a year after entering remission.
They used algorithms designed to predict which targets these T cells were recognizing, based on differences between healthy and cancerous cells. And to their surprise, the scientists discovered that the cancer-defeating patients’ T cells were recognizing multiple protein changes in the cancer cells. In contrast, each T cell is usually thought to only target one protein at a time.
“A multipronged killer T cell from a cancer survivor was shown to be substantially better at recognizing cancer than a normal anticancer killer T cell,” said Professor Andy Sewell, lead researcher on the study. “In addition, the ability to simultaneously respond to multiple cancer-associated proteins meant that these T cells could respond to most types of cancer as cancers only needed to express one of the aberrant targets to be identified as dangerous and killed.”

I have finally got a reply from Star of the South wind farm project regarding air stilling over Gippsland:
I will be keeping an eye out for the Coastal Processes report.
I noticed that Arizona has been getting some warm weather recently. It occurred to me that Arizona is separated from the coast by Texas to the south and California to the west. Both these wind turbine uinfested States are robbing ocean air advection from Arizona. The atmospheric water column over Arizona today is just 16mm. Last year at same time, it was 23mm and in 2021 26mm. TPW of 30mm is required to get convective instability and resulting cloud formation.
I believe wind turbines have serious potential to desertify delicate biospheres like Arizona.
70
Interesting.
40
So a one percent change in wind effects in a natural system is perfectly acceptable, but four hundred parts per million of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to catastrophe. Science is wonderful. And flexible.
60
RickWill:
The Falkland islands installed 3 wind turbines and managed to get diesel fuel usage (for electicity generation) down by 30%.
Since then they’ve installed 6 wind turbines (all the same make & model) and wind now supplies 47.4%.
As far as I know they haven’t installed any wind turbines since 2014.
It seems that it is a self defeating statregy.

Sicily and Sardinia reached 47/48C yesterday (24th), provisionally matching the previous WMO recognised Europe record, but not the recently approved new record of 48.8C from 2021.
Since the predicted temperatures have been reached, hopefully the claim that ground temperatures were substituted in forecasts for alarm and that it was not/was never going to be that hot, can now be buried.
15

https://news.italy24.press/local/720566.html
See the map.
No doubt you’ll come up with another dozen excuses, I won’t be wasting my time embarrassing you even more.
13
Very good … Now if you had only made that claim in the first place instead of your generalizing – then all of this ugliness could have been avoided.
Now please explain why Palermo is ‘proof of global warming’ when in 1790 it recorded 47C?
Also please do the same for Sardinia yesterday and both Sardinia and Corsica for last week…
If you are gonna put up – then put up … rather than fannying about with your rampant cherry-picking and gross generalizations.
61
highest temperature EVAH! /sarc.
and pray tell…
“Since the predicted temperatures have been reached”
when were these specific temperatures predicted?
and by what specific mechanism?
and is the null hypothesis thereby rebutted.
50
If you haven’t followed the fake use of ground temperatures story, well too bad.
12
the terrestrial thermometer record is totally unreliable,
for many reasons.
31
A bit unfair maybe, it’s amazing how much hate I’ve attracted for posting weather reports – from fellow skeptics. Anyway, forecasts like this. All the predicted highs have been realised within a degree or either way. The detail on Sicily and Sardinia explains it is not peak heat everywhere.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-66222174
Some people claimed these forecasts had substituted ground temperatures to exaggerate the expected heat, based on articles that mentioned ground temperatures too, but made the distinction perfectly clear
13
How hot was it really?
I do not believe 47C generally.
Maybe in some sequester car park somewhere.
51
See now… there is the problem, right there.
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-66222174
You are posting links to ‘News’ reports about the weather – rather than linking to actual weather records
And nobody should ever trust a ‘news’ report about the weather.
Even worse … in this BBC instance you link to a forecast, because we all know the forecast is almost never an accurate measure of what will happen.
When you posted your above rebuttal to me, above, you linked to a ‘news’ article that stated that Palermo had reached 47C – I had to find the actual data record that supported that claim.
An example of why we look for data points rather than ‘News’ articles is explained by the recent ABC article that initially claimed the loss of sea ice around Antarctica was a one in a 7.5 Billion year event.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-24/antarctic-sea-ice-levels-nosedive-five-sigma-event/102635204
Despite the eventual corrections from the initial claim that was out by a factor of ‘X 2000’ – it still remains at least two times the actual value for a 5 sigma event.
This initial particular data reference was not a mistake in editing and not a miscalculation by the journalist that wrote the story – it could only have came out of the mouth of the ‘climate scientist’.
Nobody is gonna ‘hate’ on you in this forum – if you can link to the data record in order to support a claim.

Ghana to begin issuing digital IDs to newborns from August
All is set for the issuance of National Identification numbers, Ghana Card, to newborn babies in Ghana.
This follows the successful integration of the databases of the Births and Deaths Registry, the National Identification Authority and the Ghana Health Service.
The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who disclosed this on Saturday said the first such Ghana Card number was issued to a newborn baby on Friday, July 21, 2023, after a successful test run of the system.
“The work of integrating the databases has been completed. The full test was done yesterday, and I am happy to say that the first Ghana Card number for a baby was issued yesterday.
“So from next month, all babies born in Ghana, once they take them to Weigh In, they will be issued the Ghana Card number and also get their Birth Certificate Identification number at the same time, because the two databases are talking to each other.”
“This is very transformational,” Dr Bawumia noted, explaining that they will have these numbers from the time they are babies till they pass away.

Remanufacturing Catalina amphibians

They talk about long flights of 17-20 hours these days, yet the Cats regularly flew 29 hour flights out of Perth to Sri Lanka, on just a pair of DC3 engines. Also I believe some DC3s are being fitted with turboprop engines, so I presume that new Cats could do the same. They are an impressive aircraft, a lot bigger when you stand under them, as I do often.
30
In a book on aviation in Oz which I no longer have there was a section on the Perth – Colombo flights.
Seems the QANTAS planes refueled at a US Navy base close by. They would fill all the tanks they knew of and then be pointed at the extra ones. The cover story sold was “we fill here and then nip around the corner and sell it on the black market”.
Years ago a Catalina waddled into the local air strip. It was doing magnetometer surveys and was described as the only aircraft that could carry the weight of the gear at a slow enough speed.
It had been upgraded to 1600 hp Wrights. Which meant bigger props with the tips closer to the pilots ears and marginal on noise even with sheet lead panels installed.
