The End of an Era – Vale Patrick Michaels
There was a time when it was possible to point out an error by way of a rebuttal published as a note in a scientific journal – even in the journal Nature, even when it went against the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming agenda. The late Patrick Michaels had a note published back in 1996 (vol. 384, pg. 522) explaining that there was a major error in research findings by Ben Santer – findings so significant they underpinned the key claim in the second IPCC report that ‘The balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate.’
There Will be A Price To Pay For Sustainable Energy
If the pundits are to be believed, the march of ESG through Australian boardrooms is an unstoppable force, so said Moody’s Head of Sustainability at their conference recently in Sydney.
What started as a push to ensure environment, social and governance perspectives were given due weight in assessing companies and securities, is now shorthand for declaring certain forms of value-creation verboten.
Epicentre of Mass Coral Bleaching – Still So Beautiful (Part 1)
I went to the very epicentre of the claimed latest severe mass coral bleaching event, at John Brewer Reef off Townsville, and found a coral wonderland.
Not Expecting Coral Bleaching During a La Niña
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has uploaded some footage of John Brewer Reef that is part of the Underwater Museum of Art, the footage was apparently taken by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in February. It does not show a lot of bleached coral, but it does show some badly bleached individual…
The Disaster at Lismore: Some Rainfall Statistics
They claim both extreme wet days and the intensity of rainfall are increasing, but daily rainfall statistics for Lismore do not support this theory.
Australia’s Broken Temperature Record (Part 4)
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has now admitted, as I surmised in a blog post on 10th February, that the reference value for 2021 was not actually included in its calculation of the amount of warming as published in the 2021 Annual Climate Statement.

Brisbane Flooding, Again
Flooding rains have soaked south-east Queensland, again. My heart goes out to everyone affected by flood waters. I’ve been watching the rain gauge at Lowood (Station# 040120), located just 10 kms to the south of Wivenhoe Dam upstream of the city of Brisbane.
Australia’s Broken Temperature Record (Part 2)
It could be that the last 26-years of temperature recordings by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology will be found not fit for purpose and will eventually need to be discarded. This would make for a rather large hole in the calculation of global warming – given the size of Australia.
