Real Climate Science

There are only a small handful of stations in Australia with good long term daily temperature records. One is at the Richmond, Queensland Post Office.

That station shows no January/February warming since the 19th century.

Summer temperatures there closely correlate with ENSO cycles. The 2009 La Nina was the coolest Jan/Feb on record there. Subsequent El Nino years have been hot.

I noticed that some of their heatwaves correlate with US heatwaves – in particular 1901, 1913, the 1930s and 1994/1995 – which had extremely hot weather in much of the western US.

What does it mean?  I have no idea, other than the fact that climate scientists seem to have no understanding or interest in doing any actual science. Instead of changing or hiding the data – why not try to understand it?

The melt season in the Arctic has crashed and burned several weeks early. At least for now …

Experts describe this very slow melt in August as a “climate emergency” and say we “aren’t paying attention.” 

But they are wrong. I am paying close attention to their endless stream of lies and propaganda.

January/February, 1878 may have also been the hottest on record in Southeast Australia.

There was something going on in early 1878 which was making the world hot, and it wasn’t CO2. NASA used to know that it was warm in 1878, so they did what they normally do – they decided to hide the warmth prior to 1880.

Spreadsheet     Data

Even in their 2000 version of the data, NASA showed the record warmth of 1878 about the same temperature as the ice age scare of the 1970s.  But then again, climate science has nothing to do with rational thinking or science.

Climate alarmists use children like Greta Thunberg for propaganda purposes.  They couldn’t care less about the well being of children.

I was looking at the entire temperature record for Australia this morning, and noticed two very hot temperatures in 2019.

NOAA reports 123F at Warra, Tasmania on January 30, 60F on January 31, and 124F on February 1.

Warra is located in the southern mountains of Tasmania 43 degrees south and 1,636 feet elevation. The average maximum temperature for January/February was 70F including the two bogus hot readings, or 68F without them.

A little official government comedy to start the day.

Bourke, NSW is one of less than a dozen stations in Australia with a good long term daily temperature record in the GHCN database. Bourke reached 120F three times from 1878 to 1906, and never got that hot again. Maximum temperatures declined from 1878 until the mid-1970s, and have risen since then.

The last three summers have been almost as hot as 1878 and 1892.

Two of the worst heatwaves occurred in 1896 and 1878. In 1896, the January average maximum temperature was 110F.

The New York Times described it as the worst heatwave on record.

TimesMachine: August 18, 1896

India also was reported to reach 123 degrees in January, 1896.

During the Northern Hemisphere summer of 1896, there was a tremendous heatwave in Europe.

18 Jul 1896 – Great Heat in Europe. – Trove

Another major heatwave occurred in January, 1878 when Bourke had eighteen days over 110F, and two days over 120F.
