“A new study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Climate, by 37 researchers from 18 countries suggests that current estimates of global warming are contaminated by urban warming biases.
“The study also suggests that the solar activity estimates considered in the most recent reports by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming since the 19th century.”

Six times as many PhD’s each year, so the level of intelligence of our doctorates has declined to 1/6th of what it was in my day. It certainly shows!
This is tricky-
Is this guy is clever enough to fake a global warming paper to get it published in Nature, AND then write another piece on how he faked it to get even more publicity, yet dumb enough in the end to believe in CO2 and the whole religion.
..or is he completely cynical about the whole thing and will fake his belief in the CO2 religion so he sells us down the river while he gets paid for writing rubbish? Either way I’d string him up!

“Making Life Even Worse for Us”

No surprises, its a taste of things to come-
“Too many Aboriginal organisations are run as family fiefdoms with jobs and benefits distributed on the basis of kinship or political loyalties rather than need. A close relative of mine was told that, despite being qualified for a job with one of them, he would not be offered one because he was related to me. Labor governments are no better. I applied for a job with the Health Department that I am eminently qualified for. It is work that I have done voluntarily for decades. The Aboriginal manager of the unit concerned told me that she wanted me on board but there were “problems upstairs”. .. A woman known to me was given the job within two weeks of applying. Their nefarious “culturally appropriate” practices would be enshrined in our Constitution if the Voice was passed by the voters.”

From the BoM:
For September to November, below median rainfall is likely to very likely (60% to greater than 80% chance) for most of Australia.
For September to November, above median maximum temperatures are very likely (greater than 80% chance) for almost all of Australia.
Range 0-1C for most, 1-2C for SA, then 203C later in Sept.
For September to November, warmer than median minimum temperatures are likely (60 to 80% chance) to very likely for most of western and southern Australia.
20
I guess that means rain from end of November until early January then.
50
Robber, its your job to report back in December and paste that forecast up again with the results.. I’ll forget by then.
Kevin Long agrees with the rainfall, but he doesn’t do temperatures. “I forecast a very high risk of crop-damaging frosts during September and October. We are currently relying on the most powerful planetary alignment of this year to provide a brief lift in the rainfall cycles during November, when we will witness the close alignment of the sun, Mercury, Earth Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. The best spring rains are very likely to fall within a few days of New Moon in October and November.”
..and then its slowly back into drought for Australia..

This is a great article on value investing and the herd mentality around Climate Change:
https://www.livewiremarkets.com/wires/why-value-investors-should-doubt-climate-science
If you know anyone who is an active investor or simply able to direct where their super is placed then they need to read this article.
The wisdom offered does not bode well for the various fund managers like industry super and wealth funds that are heavily invested in “renewable” projects that depend entirely on the government sanctioned robbery through energy bills.
When will an any Australian State encourage project evaluation for life extension or upgrade of current coal fired stations? When will the Australian Government drop the RET and its regulated theft? Is Warren Buffet getting out of “renewables” yet?

Imagine how great life is for your average leftist. They control all of the institutions, they control the political agenda, they control the narratives, they have the means to punish those who defy them and the world is becoming exactly what they want it to be. Even better, every morning when they wake up and get a coffee and read the morning paper, they will see that in almost every Western country their so-called ‘adversaries’ are doing exactly what they themselves would do if they were in government. I would dearly like to become a leftist, just so I can be on the winning team for once, but I don’t fit any of the ‘psychological profiles’ that we see all too often amongst leftists. A further problem is that I am blessed – or cursed – with a suspicious mind, so I take nothing at face value. What can I do? Please help. How can I become a leftist?

The UK summer was warm, but 1976 was hotter. Looking further back, the summer temperature of 1857 was equal to 2023, so we can assume CO2 was not involved and the anomaly is only weather.
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2023/09/04/our-global-boiling-summer-was-as-hot-as-1857/
40
Unfortunately there can be no argument over the fact that our summers have been consistently hotter in the last 30 years. Every other summer is in the top 20% warmest. Recent years are over represented in the top 10. 2018 almost matched 1976 for England, not that the fact that a freak outlier has yet to be matched alters the fact it is hotter on average nowadays. Check for yourself.

I don’t think they ever will. People are just not interested, in my experience anyway. But in a way that’s good news because it means all you have to do is convince those who have power, which is a much smaller bunch. People will just follow whatever is going and try and make it for themselves within that. So it’s just a simple matter of taking power.

The last four summers were the mildest in my lifetime, by a long way. This will all be forgotten when the next hot summer arrives, looking like this year. Get your arguments ready because the most massive propaganda campaign ever is coming.
50
If you mean Australia – 2019/20 was 4 summers ago and most people thought that one was pretty hot.
So what is the argument you are making?
The news has a report that it is a hot summer (because it is and they are reporting it) or that 40 degrees and windy wont be very nice (which is true and they are reporting it) and your retort is, “whatabout last year, why didn’t you report on the mild pleasant weather” (which it was but is hardly a news item).
If you want to waste your time complaining about nothing, listen to Philip..
04
Indeed; it has begun while the vestiges of winter are still with us.
10
Nice frost this morning, chickens walking on iced grass to the frozen water bowl..
I think Phillip was referring to the breaking of the last drought in 2019, which gave us a lot of rain and less extreme temperatures, as humidity does. Just ignore what ‘the news’ says, if its not happening to you it doesn’t matter.

Proof of a mRNA Disaster! A Buried England mRNA Data Avalanche has been Exposed.
Buried deep in The UKHSA Fortnightly National Influenza and COVID-19 Report
“National flu and COVID-19 surveillance data report: 6 July 2023 (week 27)”.
The actual data is buried in a supplementary ODS type file (It can be opened in Excel)
This ODS Data file, when you know where to look, holds data that has been effectively withheld from the common public knowledge until now.
There is an obscure tab (one of more than 40 Tabs in this data file) called “Figure_19__COVID_Vac_Uptake”
Looking at Fig 19 of the week 27 report there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY anyone “on the outside” of the organisation that prepared this report or those collaborating with this organisation would have known to look for this CRITICAL COMPARISON DATA
“It is helpful to appreciate just how delicate the Genetics of our bodies are and how reckless it is to deploy genetic instructions with unknown duration, unknown biodistribution, unknown deviation from natural purity, and unknown impact on all the cell types and the bodies related functions that rely on those cell types to operate without interference and without the production of synthetic-foreign proteins that can easily have the body attack its own cells that express these synthetic foreign proteins.”

Same in NZ. RNZ stopped graphing vax status and deaths within 28 days of infection when the colour coding went astray i.e. red unvaxxed (bad) and green boosted (good) but the deaths were occurring in the boosted mostly.
I kept the weekly data for 14 weeks from 22/4 to 18/7. At the end the cumulative totals were (deaths within 28 days):
6 – unvaxxed+1 jab
9 – double jab
28 – boosted
They didn’t think it necessary to have separate unvaxxed and 1 jab categories except an obscure graph early on. The 1 jab folks actually came out ok, marginally better than unvaxxed.
There were some odd “revisions” in the data so that running totals reduced from the previous week a couple of times but only in the double and boosted (most in boosted).
I see double jabbed and double boosted “Dr” Jill Biden has tested positive, again. “The Big Guy” is wearing his mask again too – on occasions.

Applies here too.
In my career I’ve read “Give ’em H e L L Harry” (about Truman) and even saw the stage version.
One of the things he pointed out was that, with the USA’s widely elected upper tier of government, the stability was about three or four layers down the bureaucracy. Which largely acted like this –
A state department of Ag here lost a lawsuit brought by a farmer who claimed that their officers had advised to plant a variety of sub clover which had a high oestrogenic content that caused lambing failure and his financial failure.
Which caused ag advisors in other states to question where they stood.
The answer in this one was –
“Your job is to provide the best available information – PRO AND CON.
It is not your job to directly advise a course of action that the client takes – that must be their decision”
That, all too often, no longer happens.
(That state dept won on appeal later but that doesn’t alter the above)

RI fishermen’s board resigns en masse over Biden admin-backed offshore wind farm: ‘Wholesale ocean destruction’
https://nypost.com/2023/09/05/ri-fishermens-board-resigns-en-masse-over-biden-admin-backed-offshore-wind-farm-wholesale-ocean-destruction/
A plan backed by the Biden administration to OK a string of wind farms off Rhode Island has prompted every member of a fishing regulatory board in the state to resign.
The entire Rhode Island Fisherman’s Advisory Board quit en masse Friday to protest the 84-turbine Sunrise Wind project after the state’s Coastal Resources Management Council approved the third offshore wind farm in two years off the Ocean State’s waters.
The project falls under President Biden‘s executive order authorizing his Interior Department to double US offshore wind capacity by 2030. With the project’s approval, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is on track to finish reviews for 16 wind farms by 2025…
