    [QUOTE=NavyDiver;3156471]Cool Spudfan! Not much warmer than our cold winter Sir. News here just said it was over 1000 dead in the hot areas.

    I used to wash my ship by chasing rain squalls out at sea. In shorts and sandles only as it was hot we would rinse. leave the rain, detergent then scrub then back in for a Rinse before getting all dressed up for entry into Port. Here I can have 30+ day and drive up a near by Mountain and have a mild 20 degree cool of most of the time in summer. Perhaps the pub with a guinness and a nice hot fire to warm up in summer for you mate.

    Can picture you you in a straw hat, or am I mixing you up with Lee Marvin in a film?

    Makes you realise how sensible and green flaps on a Land Rover were. No air conditioning needed. Just Mother Nature doing her job as you drove.

    Just like the quarter vent windows in a 74 2 door RRC.

    When our dam went dry in 1982 we found hundreds of very tasty redfin and a HUGE gold fish. About 6kg I think!


    I wonder if ??



    " Lone Rock Beach on Lake Powell in Utah,"

    Off topic but 1982-83 was a dry argument I wonder if it has been beaten??

    Federation and Meteorology, Australian Meteorology through the 20th Century, page 1612
    The 1982–83 Drought

    In terms of short-term rainfall deficiencies (up to one year) and their impacts, the 1982–83 drought was probably Australia's worst in the twentieth century.

    We went to visit our daughter today and hit this coming home. The cars tried to avoid the water at the roundabout by going around it the WRONG way thus meeting oncoming traffic causing standstill and chaos. I went through it in the Puma and did not get caught in the gridlock. Yep summer is definately back..

    I have a basic weather station yoke on the wall..outside. So when it rains I can go out to my weather thing and confirm that it is indeed raining

    Hi,
    A piece of string does that AND tells you if it is windy.
    If the string disappears, it's magpie nesting season.
    Cheers

    climate skeptic to climate disinformation

    I heard a pod cast on this years ago. It was G Bush senior and Margret Thatcher who they wanted undermined after they declared an emergency 30+ years ago.

    "The audacious PR plot that seeded doubt about climate change

    " BBC version


    Some of the miss information was swallowed by me The Melbourne crew who contributed are still at it a bit. Just went for a walk with the dog along the yarra at Hawthorn. I may have walked past a mansion or two owned by one or two of the liars.

    "Communications partner to change the narrative on climate change" Hundreds of Millions very well spent if you consider their goals

    Deniers have it easy.

    They don't need to prove that the problem doesn't exist. They can achieve their goal just by creating a little doubt in people's minds about the evidence.

    That tactic worked for the tobacco industry and it is working for the fossil fuel industry.

    It's purportedly the same PR companies involved.

    Edit: yep, the guy discussed in the BBC article.
