In this thread there are many posters that put the blame on me when I and others started threads on the boat people or participating on them.
Well, they can see now that Chucaro does not have nothing to do with it. It is not the topic or who started it , it is some of the people that participating on it.
You just have to read threads in some of the sport forums and you will see what I mean.
Now, I just seat, read with coffee on hand (in the morning, the red nectar in the evening) and observe. Occasionally "when a ball come out of the pitch" I just return it

Have fun and moderate fairly

In this thread, I'm just like you.
I just report it (via that red and white triangle on the top right of the window).
Nothing reportable as yet. I just thought I'd draw your attention as to how it starts.

Found this classic reply to the old "balanced debate" problem...

I have been watching for months to see what El Nino is going to do.

Note that the land and sea temperatures are up by several degrees and have been for some time.

All minimum and maximum average temperatures are up by an average of 3*c all over Australia

Our govt has been criticised from many other countries in it's negative attitude toward climate change/global warming.

I don't know whether the financial assistance to graziers has been delivered yet and as you can see from this article they are going to keep copping it....poor bastards.

Australias average temps have only increased by 1 deg since 1950, although I believe that's significant it's not the 3 deg you've stated above.

I'm sorry, but if you look at your daily weather site it will clearly show the 3 degree average temp increase.

FYI

Australian annual average daily mean temperatures have increased by 0.9 °C since 1910.

Climate Change in Australia - Temperature, Rainfall, Humidity, Sea surface Temperature, Wind speed, Potential evapotranspiration, Downward solar radiation

Australian annual average daily maximum temperatures have increased by 0.75 °C since 1910.

Obviously someone is wrong. Who would have guessed when talking about weather.

Last time a professor predicted a long dry spell, as in "our dams will never ever be full again" order of Oz medal thank you, we built a desal plant and within a year Qld was under water.
Yes globe is warming, ill go with CSIRO figures, but trying to predict long term weather is at best a 33% gamble. A) Maybe drought will worsen/ continue, maybe mild rain will come and create ideal crop/ harvest conditions, or C)maybe it will rain like march 2010, nov-feb2010-2011, jan 2013. or 1998 in Wollongong or 1974 in Brisbane. etc
Here's a list, every so often we get a 9-12 year gap of flooding on the east coast.

Well, since the last drought, we have had a bit of wet weather, but, the dams have never achieved 100% fill and we are heading into another drought.
I think sometime into the next few years we will be wanting another desal plant.
