The Truth About Global Temperature

Dr Roy Spencer has an internet site about climate and each month he publishes a graph like that at the left indicating the actual temperature of our planet as measured in the lower atmosphere.

In March you can see that the global temperature actually dropped to -0.01 degrees Centigrade.

It's interesting to follow Dr Spencer's graphs from month to month and year to year, although you can see the trends going back to 1979 so you really only need the latest version to see how the temperature changed up and down during the period to March 2021.

Climate is cyclical and never linear. 

Climate is also determined largely by the sun which, at present is in a low state of activity called Solar Minimum 25.

Any suggestion that C02 is a dangerous gas that leads to atmospheric warming and that the world will end in 12 years because of it is errant nonsense. Unfortunately, the global warming activists have frightened the sheep and governments are now wasting billions on unreliable renewable energy and ultimately destroying our energy capacities.

These activities are in line with the Lima Agreement that is intended to "flatten industries" in developed countries. The UN's Climate Change Alarmism was intended to achieve the same outcomes and seems to be succeeding.

Fortunately, I've only got another 10-15 years left so I won't be around to see the developed nations revert to Third World nations.

Will Easter Disappear?

When I was a kid, Easter was largely a religious event for those who followed the Christian story. My non-religious parents used to comment on the twice-a-year-Catholics who attended church at Easter and at Christmas and did whatever they wanted during the remaining months.

My mother always said, "You don't have to go to church to be a Christian''. My parents were good people.

I attended a Presbyterian-Methodist boarding school (there were no secular boarding schools) and was a captive during the Easter period and every other Sunday when we would march off to church, alternating between the Presbyterian and Methodist churches.

I enjoyed many of the hymns, but the stories of heaven and hell, fire and punishment, miracles, and all the rest I found boring and inherently nonsensical. Every Sunday we sat and listened to the same nonsense.

Whatever I felt, Easter did seem to be taken seriously by most people but over the years it became increasingly commercial.

Once, shops of any kind were not permitted to open on Easter Friday and from memory, Easter Monday. Only religious events were permitted.

Over the years, more and more venues and businesses were permitted to open and now, it seems that everything and anything is open.

As Australia is now a country with multiple religions that are not Christian and people are becoming more secular, I wonder how long it will be before Easter gets the flick. Maybe the cancel culture generation will eventually turn to Christian holidays as something needing change and push for it to be changed. Oh, that would mean not getting two days off work for any of them who actually work.

Will Easter disappear? What do you think?

Centenary of the RAAF - 31 MAR 21

Tomorrow marks 100 years of service to our country by the RAAF and the many thousands of service members who serve, or have served. 

I served, did you?

The RAAF has a proud history of achievement eg, our 10 Squadron was the first in and the last out of the UK during WWII. Our men and women have served in many other confrontations and peace-keeping efforts since then and still serve today.

There will be dedications all round the country and the ABC TV will have a two-hour dedication from 10 am 31 Mar 21 including a fly-over in Canberra.

Is the Greens Party a Party of Nutters?

 

According to a recent article in local news media, the Australian Greens Party wants people to vote Labor into power but give the Greens sufficient votes to inform Labor policy.

The Greens, in my opinion, is a party of nutters. It has consistently, for decades at least to my knowledge, run a platform of policies that are either un-Australian or inherently no good for Australia or Australians. Some items have been sheer madness.

Look at the graphic snatch above. What the hell are a jobs and income guarantee? Do they mean everyone will have a job with an income? Some form of communist dream perhaps. Who knows?

Then there is dental and mental health funded through Medicare. Perhaps not such a bad idea, since we already fund mental care. How many more billions would dental care cost our already under pressure health system? Do we need to do something to help ourselves like look after our own teeth, or should the government provide everything?

Free universities and TAFE. God knows how many billions this would cost. Will you be happy to have a massive increase in taxes to pay for free education?

I take it the 700 percent is a typo and really means 70 percent, even the Greens couldn't be stupid enough to expect a 700 percent of the nation's energy needs to come from renewables. Renewables are a pipe dream. While the sun and wind might renew themselves daily or periodically, the equipment used is far from renewable and is creating massive disposal problems once it becomes obsolescent or meets its end of life cycle.

We will always need coal, gas, nuclear or hydro to support wind and solar energy and all of those are much more efficient than wind and solar.

The sad truth is, we've been conned into thinking C02 is a killer gas and that the world is warming when it's not the case. No link has ever been discovered that proves that C02 impacts on climate. Similarly, the world is not heading to destruction because of global warming. The opposite is true.

The Sun controls most of the Earth's climate and it's now in Solar Minimum 25, the outcome of which is to cause our planet to cool. Here is the real earth temperature at present from the site of Dr Roy Spencer who doesn't have a vesed interest in telling untruths about temperature.

If you're one who believes the end of the world is coming soon because of global climate catastrophe, perhaps download a $10 copy of this title by Patrick Moore from Amazon Kindle - or buy a hardcopy.

Whatever you do, don't let yourself be conned by the Greens or anyone else. Don't even take my word for it, do your own research and come up with your own ideas.
