WARMENING TAKES A HOLIDAY
May:
Climate change gave much of Australia’s drought-stricken east coast its warmest May on record, weather experts say.
Global warming and an absence of significant cold changes had driven temperatures well above the monthly average, said meteorologist Matt Pearce, from consultants Weatherzone ...
“This is yet another sign of the widespread climate change that we are seeing unfold across the globe.”
June:
June 2007 was the coldest June recorded in Australia since at least 1950, according to the Bureau of Meteorology’s National Climate Centre ...
Across the whole of the continent the Australian mean temperature was 1.54 degrees Celsius below average for June – breaking the previous record of 1.4 degrees below average set in 1982. It is the second successive year in which June has been much cooler than normal.
Its getting colder??? I better sell all that 30+ sunblock I bought to corner the market.

You know, maintain the rage, man. I mean, how can a hippie keep it real if this kinda shit just starts going down?
Oh yeah, send it down Hughie… well, climate change can’t suddenly change, just like that.
Capitalism is still totally evil and it’s just wrong. It’s Murphy’s Law!
Would somebody mind dropping the word to Thorpie that he jumped on the wrong bandwagon and is looking more like a dribbling idiot every day Foxtel keeps running that “eco warrior” tripe?
He’s a big lad, would be better off clubbing baby seals and wrestling polar bears. Bigger audience.

Yes, polar bear pelts will make nice coats, but it’ll be too warm to wear them. ;^)
Posted by Jabba the Tutt on 2007 07 05 at 09:21 AM • permalinkWell the west coast of the United Seppos could sure use a Gorebasm right about now! It’s half past 6 in the morning and already 88.
I realize that dip**** is in the UK so maybe Heidi Cullen could fly around here a bit. She could use her own ego and sense of impoortance for fuel. No carbon offset needed.
I think all hot air, except for the lag that passes with the Winter solstice in the Soutern Hemisphere. The coldest is meant to be six weeks after then, around the start of August. Same as the daily temperature lag, 3 hours after midday to 1500 hrs ... the weather changes year by year, and also hour by hour.
Is it changing century by century?
surfmaster—push comes to shove, you can burn the SPF 30 in your kerosene heater as the glaciers slowly surround your house…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 07 05 at 09:42 AM • permalink#11, Pedro, Thorpie the metrosexual eco-warrior sure has pulled the wrong rein (or wrong something). The promos made me cringe, couldn’t even go near the full program, and I’m an Aussie.
Next he’ll be touting the new eco-doctrine, that we’re guilty of “solar greed,” humans using up too many of the sun’s rays in detriment to other species.
There’s no end to eco-borne insanity, apparently.
May was evidence. June was an anomaly.
July… a catastrophe. August, cloudy with a few showers and dry in the remainder.
September, the lone warrior and world savior, Tim Flannery, averts further suffering with a timely warning: hoard firewood and strategic stockpiles of baked beans and dried oriental noodles, ready for the real storm.
October, hysteria in the streets of Iran is reported cheerily by SBS, the ABC and Fairfax newspapers, moments before the end.

Nothing like boldly allowing your name to be attached to a self-refuting prophesy. i wonder how Weatherzone’s bottom line is doing…?
Posted by Major John on 2007 07 05 at 01:30 PM • permalinkSeveral years ago in our met lab, our pet met was renown for predicting reverse weather events. He’d call clear skies and calm winds ‘Blammo’ thunder could be heard rolling in. V high chance of rain, look like the Death Valley. After awhile, you just took his forecast as gospel after you reversed the conditions.
You brainless DENIERS—the science is settled that the coldest June ever is EXACTLY what you’d expect from global warming—this is just further PROOF. And whatever happens in July will ALSO be further proof. I can hear those polar bear testicles shrinking by the minute.
Posted by Shaky Barnes on 2007 07 05 at 11:01 PM • permalink...shrinking by the minute…
Shaky B., where can I buy a CD of the Polar Boys’ Choir? The thought of adorable little bear cubs hitting those angelic high C’s makes my heart melt like an Arctic ice floe.

Can be repeated for June, coz, you know, coldness is an extreme temperature, and that’s what climate change is man, you know, extreme - like all the up anddown the thermometer. All the way man, like dude, like wow, that cold shit is hot man! I told you so.
Of course we now will have Mr Lefty repeat his claim that climate change experts do not use hot isolated weather as proof of their theory, despite such quotes ... appearing all the time, everywhere, headlined, except when it’s COLD. It’s all about the average, and we know how reliable those averages are at showing cause, now don’t we.
