Checking Fevered KRudd's Temperature
o.n.0.b.
November 21 2009
The Australian reports on an another disgraceful fraud on the public:
"KRudd has seized on high temperatures across southeast Australia this week
as proof of climate change and the need for the opposition to back his
proposed carbon emissions trading system.,,, "
""I presume the interjecting members over there - the climate change
sceptics up the back and the absolute deniers in the centre over there -
would say all of these are merely unhappy coincidences," Mr Rudd said. "
In fact, says Associate Professor Stewart Franks in his latest research,
recent high temperatures in some states are caused not by global warming,
but the failure of rains - which lower temperatures throgh evaporation of
ground moisture.

Even then, most states recorded their highest temperatures between 1972 and
1939 - and even the more recent records come only after ruling out as
possibily inaccurate still higher temperatures recorded in the 19th century:
South Australia's highest temperature was recorded in 1960.
New South Wales' highest temperature was recorded in 1939
Victoria's highest temperature was recorded in 2009 , but only after the
Bureau of Meteorology suggested the record long held to be set in Mildura in
1896 was "likely" a bit lower.
Western Australia's highest temperature was recorded in 2008 , but only
after researchers cast doubt on the reliability of the highest recorded
temperature - in 1889.
Queensland's highest temperature was recorded in 1972.
Northern Territory's highest temperature was recorded in 1960.
Tasmania's highest temperature was recorded in 2009.
Hot here, yes, but in the rest of the world this year there has been record
cold in the US, record snows in China, record early start to Europe's ski
season and record cold in New Zealand.
Which shows what a fraud - or a lie - it is to claim that the weather at any
one spot is proof of the temperature of the globe.
If you really want to know if global warming is happening, then you must
measure the temperature of the globe - and that shows unequivocally that it
stopped warming almost a decade ago:
"At present, however, the warming is taking a break," confirms meteorologist
Mojib Latif of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in the northern
German city of Kiel. Latif, one of Germany's best-known climatologists, says
that the temperature curve has reached a plateau. "There can be no argument
about that," he says. "We have to face that fact." ,,,
"It cannot be denied that this is one of the hottest issues in the
scientific community," says Jochem Marotzke, director of the Max Planck
Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. "We don't really know why this
stagnation is taking place at this point."
And in all this we have not even discussed what KRudd falsely takes for
granted - that any warming until 2001 was indeed caused by man.
In summary: Rudd lies again. He is indeed the leader of the most deceitful
government in my memory.

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
