Discussion > Unprecedented events/weather records?

There does seem to be a pattern. Certain countries regularly produce new records that support the claims of Global Warmists.
Australia is one such Hot Spot. So is the UK.

Certain countries routinely produce no such new records, even though they are just as interested in meteorology for forecasting weather.

In the UK, the BBC broadcasts these new "records". In Australia, the ABC does it.

The BBC and ABC are both very enthusiastic about attributing Global Warming as the cause of adverse weather, floods and woodland/heath/bush, fires. Neither the ABC nor BBC mention how the Green Blob created the right environment for fires to develop and spread under dry conditions, howsoever they were initially ignited, by opposing the clearance of scrub vegetation, leaf litter etc (aka "fuel load") to save the environment.

Neither the ABC nor BBC mention how the Green Blob created the right environment for fires to develop and spread under dry conditions, howsoever they were initially ignited, by opposing the clearance of scrub vegetation, leaf litter etc (aka "fuel load") to save the environment.

They do not mention it because it is not true.

The Australian Greens support hazard reduction burns and backburning to reduce the impact of bushfires when guided by the best scientific, ecological and emergency service expertise.

Attempts by Liberal and National politicians to place the blame on the Greens represent the worst kind of dishonest politics. The Coalition has spent six years in office ignoring the main cause of these unprecedented bushfires – severe climate change.

Climate change has left forests and grasslands drier, which means the bushfire season has started earlier and will likely last longer. Higher temperatures and drier conditions have made the window for hazard reduction shorter.

Warmer, drier conditions with higher fire danger are preventing agencies from conducting as much hazard reduction burning – it is often either too wet, or too dry and windy to burn safely. Blaming "greenies" for stopping these important measures is a familiar, populist, but basically untrue claim.

Together with 22 other retired fire and emergency service chiefs, I spoke out earlier this year. We felt we had a duty to tell people how climate change is super-charging our natural disaster risks. I wish we were wrong, but we’re not.

Phil Clarke, you are stating that the Green Blob have not opposed the clearance of "Fire Load" in Australia. True or False?

Actually GC it is you who stated

the Green Blob created the right environment for fires to develop and spread under dry conditions, howsoever they were initially ignited, by opposing the clearance of scrub vegetation, leaf litter etc (aka "fuel load") to save the environment.

Given that no 'green' party has ever held office in Australia, given that the Australian Green Party supports controlled burning of bushfire fuel, I think the onus lies on you to support your words with evidence.

Not going to happen, is it?

The Green Blob HAVE OPPOSED THE CLEARANCE OF FUEL LOAD IN CALIFORNIA, UK, AND AUSTRALIA.
All have suffered large fires as a result

WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE?

You are paid to waste other people's time money and livelihoods, so you ignore all evidence that conflicts with your paymasters political beliefs..

Hockey Teamsters, including Mann and Connolley must be very proud of you, they have corrupted evidence in pursuit of their financial ideology.

Jan 10, 2020 at 9:11 AM | Unregistered Commentergolf charlie

Blah. Of all the wild assertions made around here, the idea that anyone would pay me to do this is one of the most deluded.

It's a bit rich to accuse someone of ignoring evidence whilst simultaneously failing to provide any, but it's OK, I'm used to it. As I predicted

Not going to happen, is it?

Jan 10, 2020 at 10:12 AM | Unregistered CommenterPhil Clarke

Phil Clarke, the corruption of Climate Science was secured by Mann's Hockey Stick, and supported by William M Connolley corruption of evidence including Wikipedia.

Even the Guardian has stopped quoting Cook's con trick about 97% support. Do you have anything that is honest to contribute to any debate at all?

Your own incompetence and deceit was demonstrated with enthusiasm for Gergis. Why should any trust Climate Science or be taxed to support it?

https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2019/07/29/new-attempts-to-erase-the-mwp-lia/
"As with the other failed attempts, this latest one claims that the MWP and LIA were only localised phenomena. But nothing could be further from the truth.

These three new studies rely on proxies, but time and again hockey stick studies based on proxies are proven to be fake, based on cherry picked proxies and dodgy statistics.

In fact, we have no need to rely on proxies, because the actual evidence of warm and cold periods is very real and substantial across the world."

Deflection attempt.

Where is the evidence for your claim that Greens are responsible for bush fires because they opposed fuel reduction burning in Australia, California and the UK?

The Australian Green Party is clear that they support the measure, and an ex Fire and Rescue commissioner from NSW describes the assertion as 'a familiar, populist, but basically untrue claim.'

He's right, isn't he?

Re:- https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2019/07/29/new-attempts-to-erase-the-mwp-lia/

Hlarious. I particularly liked the by now familiar attempt to use the GISP2 ice core data to prove temperatures were warmer for most of the last 10,000 years.

Tell me, in a graph that shows 'years before 1950' and which starts at 0, how you can label a particular year as 1987?

LOL LOL LOL.

In fact the GISP data ends around 1855 and so is silent on modern warming.

Mr Clarke, while “greens” have not been “in power” – by which, you presumably mean holding the majority in the Australian parliament – they are widely extant in local government, and are rabidly vociferous, such that many bow to their pressure (I mean, they have to virtue-signal don’t they, and what harm can stopping burning do?). Mind you, I have little doubt that you will eagerly dismiss every scrap of evidence that others find for you

The original post is worth reading, along with the links, but this comment helps explain the lies and corruption of Climate Science, and its outstanding source.

"Frankly, I don't know why this guy hasn't had a lifetime ban years ago.

8.2) William M. Connolley has been uncivil and antagonistic to editors within the topic area, and toward administrators enforcing the community probation.

8.3) ...William M. Connolley has shown an unreasonable degree of Ownership over climate-related articles and unwillingness to work in a consensus environment.

8.4) William M. Connolley has repeatedly violated the biography of living persons policy. Violations have included inserting personal information irrelevant to the subject's notability, use of blogs as sources, inserting original research and opinion into articles, and removing reliably sourced positive comments about subjects. He has edited biographical articles of persons with whom he has off-wiki professional or personal disagreements.

8.5) William M. Connolley has focused a substantial portion of his editing in the Climate change topic area on biographical articles about living persons who hold views opposed to his own with respect to the reality and significance of anthropogenic global warming, in a fashion suggesting that he does not always approach such articles with an appropriately neutral and disinterested point of view.

This is the moral, factual and scientific high ground of Climate Science that Phil Clarke is reliant on.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age survive all attacks by Hockey Teamsters because they are supported by genuine factual evidence. Climate Science still relies on a computer assisted lie of a Broken Hockey Stick that DENIED the existence of the MWP and LIA.

I am interested in the 3% of honest Climate Science, but Phil Clarke never links to it.

Another, perhaps contentious, view.

Thank you!

The Green Blob have called for the imprisonment of those producing fossil fuels. It is time that the Green Blob were prosecuted and held financially liable.

That would be Unprecedented.

It won't change any weather records. That would require the prosecution of Climate Scientists and those involved with the corruption of Science and the gullible, many of them innocent children.

An Unprecedented weather event, apparently unmolested by serial offender William M Connolley, failed Green Party candidate)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Storm_of_1703

"The Great Storm of 1703 was a destructive extratropical cyclone that struck central and southern England on 26 November 1703 (7 December 1703 in the Gregorian calendar in use today). High winds caused 2,000 chimney stacks to collapse in London and damaged the New Forest, which lost 4,000 oaks. Ships were blown hundreds of miles off-course, and over 1,000 seamen died on the Goodwin Sands alone. News bulletins of casualties and damage were sold all over England – a novelty at that time. The Church of England declared that the storm was God's vengeance for the sins of the nation. Daniel Defoe thought it was a divine punishment for poor performance against Catholic armies in the War of the Spanish Succession."

So the Green Blob is two guys with home made signs? :-) Controlled burns sometimes provoke localised protest and sometimes for good reason, in 2015 one such burn ran out of control and destroyed 4 homes and thousands of hectares in Victoria. But the Fire Service is clear, although in terms of area, they actually exceeded their hazard-reduction targets for 2018-19, their property protecting activities were hampered not because of any political pressure, but because the extremely arid and warm conditions meant it could not be done safely.

The ability of the NSW RFS and partner agencies to complete hazard reduction activities is highly weather dependent, with limited windows of opportunity. Prolonged drought conditions in 2018-19 adversely affected the ability of agencies to complete hazard reduction works

the Naval Disaster that smashed
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudesley_Shovell
into the Scilly Isles
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scilly_naval_disaster_of_1707
may have been regarded at the time by con artists and scaremongers as evidence of something more disastrous to follow.

Fortunately, proper science prevailed, and eventually produced The Harrison Chronometer that was to enable British sailors to boldly go to all four corners of the world, and chart it.

These days, the Harrison Chronometer is better known for making Del Boy rich in "Only Fools and Horses". Few will regard the thieves, rogues, liars and charlatans of Climate Science as being honest or benevolent towards the people of the World, especially the poorest.

All people, including politicians, teachers, pupils, activists that have ever been influenced by the UK Green Party's very own William M Connolley and his corruption of Wikipedia should blame him, and hold him and the Green Party financially liable.

Thank you!

Outsourcing your evidence now? Oh, I did.

- A farmer fined for contravening fire safety laws. Penalties are harsh and rightly so.

- A facebook 'meme'

- Two links to the same (only?) anti-burn protest in Gippsland, one featuring a picture of a couple holding up handmade signs. Is this the 'Green Blob'? How much impact did these subversives have, given that the Fire Service did hazard reduction on just under 200,000 hectares?

Very convincing. If you want a link try this one.
