    Being Victorians does that imply they must dress in Victorian Neck to Knee cossies & use Bathing Boxes?

    I'd like to see that.

    Maybe Oz should restrict the coal shipments to those who use our coal?

    Oh hang on I suspect there is summat wrong with my suggestion, now I wonder what it could be? Oh yeah $$$$$$$.

    The only consolation is that all those bastards will die with you so there won't be any more coal sales.

    I say "you" because hopefully I'll be long gone by then.

    Our coal is much cleaner - by proxy a reduction in emissions occurs. Similar to making a modern vehicle more efficient - still polluted but at a lesser volume.

    Step changes are critical - to produce some of these outcomes - plants making phenomenal volumes of PV and batteries etc - can require serious power.

    Until we can find employment/industry for the 10s of thousands of people these industries support we must work on all aspects.

    The country will suffer greatly Socially and Economically if this isn’t done right.

    Perhaps yours is. US mexicans in Neck to Knee togs have dirty wet brown coal not the Black stuff

    Come to think of it my bathers of choice are more like this Head to Toe

    Always question these creations sent by friends.
    Usually very inaccurate info.

    eg. Japan HAD plans for 50 new coal power stations in 2012, but by 2017 have scrapped at least 13 of them.
    My guess is some are too deep into the development stage so some will be built, but there's a good chance that as many as possible will not.
    Japan has plans for a lot of off shore wind warm developments, and a large drop in total electricity production over the next decade too.

    Dunno about the other regions in that list, but more than likely most will be red lighted.

    So it's the same syndrome as the climate alarmists .. facts and claims don't always correlate.

    That has been a factor like Forever, Nothing new about it.and just because scientists have put a name to something doesn't mean that it is something new or is a cause of climate change.
    BOM telling people that Summer is going to be dry and hot is akin to telling them that when the sun goes down it is going to get dark.

    cant trust those BOM outlooks. one from a few winters ago. it said prepare for a below average rainfall winter. they got it wrong, very very wrong. wettest year on record for many places in the adelaide hills.

    I'm quite positive that they also claimed similar for winter/spring here in Vic too.
    We hadn't had too many days of serious rainfall, but we've had more rainy days here then I can ever remember between May-Oct.

    Reason it 'affected me' in a sense was that I had plans to build my shed(kit thing) whilst off work for a month or so .. in May.
    Had at least 2-3 weeks of solid rain, with pooling of water on the slab.
    Then had a single weekend break from rain, gathered folks put up 25% of it on a Saturday, then a little more on Sunday .. just wall frames, and some panels that were hard to do on my own.
    Then for the next two weeks again zero chance to add any more panels 2 1/2 remaining walls and roofing.
    It all just sat there day after day for 2 weeks getting soaked while I bludged for those 2 weeks.

    Although, this was for Victoria(not Melb), and we know the Murray Darling Basin is in drought, so NW vic is not going to see any or much rainfall, so for the whole state, it was drier.
    But I dare say if you look at the rest of the state(ie. excluding the NW which is in drought) .. then I reckon it'd be above average overall.

    Trying to find localised rainfall data records.
