I know, I know - we are talking climate -  not weather. However, if we have a really cold winter this year, & we had one last year as well.....& the one before that.....when does it become "climate" ?
To be fair that is genuine Climate Change I suppose - as in Climate Cooling !

Americans Reckon The Only Reason John Millman Beat Federer Was Because Of Climate Change

Who knew people could reach that far?

Someone call Inspector Gadget because not even he would be able to reach as far as the New York Times did yesterday.

An article in Wednesday's paper declared that the reason that Aussie John Millman knocked Roger Federer out of the US Open in one of the greatest sporting upsets in history had less to do with Millman's sporting prowess and far more to do with climate change.

Yes, really.

Greater Sydney in winter 2018: Warm and dry

Days were generally warm across Greater Sydney in winter 2018, particularly in July. July and August were dry across Greater Sydney, after average rainfall in June. Night time temperatures were below average away from the coast.


Daytime temperatures were above average at all sites across Greater Sydney. This was particularly pronounced in July, where most sites reported their highest July mean daily maximum temperatures on record

How is the Tesla Energy system in South Australia going?

Tesla erupts in chaos after senior executives leave and Musk's online interview

he turmoil at Tesla reached a fever pitch on Friday as news emerged that two senior executives will leave Elon Musk's electric-car maker a matter of hours after he smoked marijuana during an hours-long interview with a comedian.

Chief accounting officer Dave Morton gave notice Tuesday that he was resigning less than a month into the job, according to a filing. Tesla's stock plunged, then extended declines after Gabrielle Toledano, the head of human resources who's been on a leave of absence, told Bloomberg News that she won't rejoin the company.

Have been waiting for this one.

Of course with the change of government, all is revealed. "Commercial in confidence" is a favourite saying of the labor government inn WA as well, for ALL things, including the quokka selfie with Roger Federer. I find it disappointing RF had to be PAID millions to pose.

And here i thought he was doing it out of the goodness of his heartLOL 

Tesla battery cost revealed two years after SA blackout

Updated about 3 hours ago

Two years since South Australia was plunged into darkness during a statewide blackout, new light has been shed on the cost of the Tesla battery — just one of the projects designed to prevent power failure in the state.

Key points:

  • The cost of the Tesla battery near Jamestown has been revealed
  • The figure is within expectations, but it is the first time the amount has been made public
  • It comes almost two years since the statewide blackout

A 505-page report released by Neoen this month ahead of an initial public offering suggested the battery cost around $90 million, at the current exchange rate.

The giant 100-megawatt lithium ion battery near Jamestown in the state's mid-north commenced operation late last year.However, the cost of the battery was not made public for reasons of "commercial-in-confidence" and was estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars, some of that to be funded by South Australian taxpayers.

"In 2017, acquisitions relate mainly to the Hornsdale Power Reserve project (€56 million), which was built and commissioned in the period," the document stated.

Industry analyst Giles Parkinson, who runs renewable advocacy website Renew Economy, said the figure was within expectations.The $90 million is what Neoen and Tesla paid for the installation of that project. That was the total capital cost," he said.

"The forecast ranged from $50 million at the lower end up to about $100 million.

"It includes the connection fees and the extra expense of delivering the project within 100 days."

Government labels the project 'messy and overly expensive'

Last year, Elon Musk promised to construct the battery within 100 days during a now-famous Twitter exchange with entrepreneur Mike Cannon-Brookes.

But the cost of the project has raised the ire of the SA Government, which accused its predecessor of pursuing a "rushed, chaotic and expensive fix to South Australia's power problems"."The information that was released by Neoen a couple of days ago… makes it very clear the previous government's implementation and delivery of the battery was incredibly messy and overly expensive," Energy Minister Dan van Holst Pellekaan told ABC Radio Adelaide.

"It actually costs taxpayers' money. There's a cost of $4-5 million a year to have the battery in place.

"There are more costs than that involved.

"The government of the day before the last election did not share all of the costs and all of the information."

However, Giles Parkinson said the battery was on track to "make revenues of about $25-26 million in its first year".

"We don't know what the profit margin of that is but we can probably estimate it's a fair profit margin," he said.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-27/tesla-battery-cost-revealed-two-years-after-blackout/10310680

Who would have thought? ... just when the UN wants to up the ante on the cash they wish to extort from us for "The Climate Fund", and whilst we are supposed to be the gullible fools who care about "Reducing Emissions" ... China is just giving everyone the finger!

Satellite images show 'runaway' expansion of coal power in China

Extra 259GW capacity from coal in pipeline despite Beijing’s restrictions on plants

Chinese coal-fired power plants, thought to have been cancelled because of government edicts, are still being built and are threatening to “seriously undermine” global climate goals, researchers have warned.

Satellite photos taken in 2018 of locations in China reveal cooling towers and new buildings that were not present a year earlier at plants that were meant to stop operations or be postponed by orders from Beijing.

The projects are part of an “approaching tsunami” of coal plants that would boost China’s existing coal capacity by 25%, according to the research group Coalswarm.

The total capacity of the planned coal power stations is about 259GW, bigger than the American coal fleet and “wildly out of line” with the Paris climate agreement, the group said in a new report.

“This new evidence that China’s central government hasn’t been able to stop the runaway coal-fired power plant building is alarming – the planet can’t tolerate another US-sized block of plants to be built,” said Ted Nace, executive director of CoalSwarm, which is funded by international green groups and private donations.

OH, BUT WAIT ...  IS IT FAKE NEWS?

Green Climate Fund considers first China project among $1.1bn of proposals


The Green Climate Fund board will consider projects to a value of $1,148.4 million for approval at its meeting next month.

Speaking in the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York on Friday, Javier Manzanares, GCF deputy executive director, outlined the plans.

He said: “Today we are proposing 20 projects to the board for consideration at its meeting next month. They include what would be our first ever project in China, a green cities programme targeting Central Asia and Eastern Europe, a new fund for transformative climate finance in Africa, and a number of innovative mitigation and adaptation projects targeting Africa, Asia, Pacific islands and Latin America.”

“The range of climate projects being proposed to the board demonstrates our ambition to support the Paris Agreement by providing climate finance for low emission and climate-resilient development. Whilst the last board meeting proved challenging, we are hopeful that the next meeting in Bahrain will reach agreement to increase our portfolio to a total of over $4.6 billion of climate projects.”

The United Nations House of Cards is looking shaky!

 

Ex-BHP Chief: Scrap Paris Now

The company he once led continues to pleasure the warmists by bowing and scraping before Gaia's carbon-free altar,  but ex-chief Jerry Ellis has had enough: the Paris accord is "a farce" and a sane government would exit the pact in a heartbeat

jerry ellisEx-chairman of BHP (1997-99), Jerry Ellis  (left) ex-chancellor of Monash University, and an ex-director of ANZ Bank, has called for Australia to dump the 2015 Paris climate agreement. Ellis’s intervention puts cat among climate pigeons. 

The alarmists like to lie that sceptics are a fringe group. Ellis is hardly fringe. His former BHP continues to promote the story about human-caused catastrophic CO2 warming, as does Monash University. Ellis is an awkwardness for both.

By coming out against climate alarmism, Ellis  is giving added respectability to scepticism, much as ex-PM Tony Abbott did with his London sceptic speech of last October. The credibility of the sceptic case, of course, rests not on authority figures but data such as the  more than two-fold exaggeration of warming since 1980 by the climate models on which the CO2 scare is based.

Here is Ellis’s statement on Paris.

Why Australia should Clexit Paris Treaty

It is clear that the push to meet the Paris carbon dioxide emission targets is leading to higher power costs, and hence prices, and unreliable supply.

It is also a fact that the predictions of the warmists have not happened.

The IPCC scientific reports are stated in possibilities, yet the guidance for policy makers is written as certainty. A farce.

I hope the new leadership of the Australian Government has the courage to guide our country in a rational manner on this subject. as Angus Taylor seems keen to do, and abandons the Paris Treaty.

Jerry Ellis AO

Ellis’ intervention comes on the heels of calls from Green Climate Fund supporters for Australia to add another $400m to its $1b plus commitment and $200m contribution to date. The fund under the Paris accord is supposed to parcel up $US100b a year in developed country donations to help the third-world combat climate change. The fund peaked at  $US10b – thanks particularly to President Obama – but has only $US3b left. Its July meeting of donors and third-worlders   disbanded in chaos with no decisions made and  the resignation on the spot of its executive director, Australian ex-climate bureaucrat Howard Bamsey.

The policy of Ellis’s former BHP on climate change reads:

BHP accepts the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment of climate change science, which has found that warming of the climate is unequivocal, the human influence is clear and physical impacts are unavoidable.

Climate change is a global challenge that requires a collaborative market and policy response. Playing our part in responding to climate change is a priority governance and strategic issue for BHP. Our Board is actively engaged in the governance of climate change issues, supported by the Sustainability Committee. Management has primary responsibility for the design and implementation of our climate change strategy.

Our climate change strategy focuses on reducing our operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, investing in low emissions technologies, promoting product stewardship, managing climate-related risk and opportunity, and working with others to enhance the global policy and market response.”

Former One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has replied to Ellis,

“A pity that your [BHP] successor in Jac Nasser, his CEO Andrew Mackenzie and his Coal Division President who is now Minerals Operations President Mike Henry lack your understanding.

What holds them back? Is theirs a lack of basic knowledge, a lack of integrity or a lack of courage? Or do they simply not care about humanity and the environment. Coal saved the whales. Coal saved the forests. Coal gave us cheap, clean energy that raised human productivity, prosperity and wealth that enables us today to care for the environment better than at any time in human history.”

Ellis is Chairman of MBD Energy, a director of Iron Road and on the Advisory Council of The Sentient Group. He is an ex- chairman of auto brake company Pacifica Group Ltd, and has chaired Australia’s premier environmental advocacy group Landcare Australia.

Ellis’ statement is published on the website of the Clexit [Climate Exit] Coalition.

The coalition was set up in 2016 by Queensland’s Viv Forbes, who runs it as secretary. A semi-retired geologist and current  livestock  breeder, he put in 40 years’ work for   coal, minerals and petroleum companies including as a director of Stanmore Coal.  The coalition committee includes ex-Czech President (2003-13) Vaclav Klaus , who is patron, Professors Will Happer  (US) and Ole Humlum (Norway), Chris (Lord) Monckton and leading blogger Roger Tattersall (UK) and astrophysicist and geoscientist Dr Willie Soon (US).

Forbes this month invited members  to add a statement on why their country should quit the Paris Accord. Ellis, an original coalition member, responded with this week’s statement. Others came in from more than 20 people representing Sweden, France, US, UK, Canada, Germany and others.

Ellis is now in the same camp as Hugh Morgan, CEO of Western Mining 1990-2003 and a Reserve Bank director 1996-2007. Morgan said today, “Ellis is absolutely right. People think the Paris Accord is just about commitments to lower CO2. It is really about transferring wealth through the UN to the so-called Less Developed Countries. It’s about advancing centralised control of people’s lives on a global scale.”

Morgan believes the alarmist movement has got so far because of backing by Western millennials who have been indoctrinated during their education. Enjoying living standards unprecedented in world history, they have embraced alarmism as a new secular religion, he says.

Ellis’ intervention could encourage other Paris sceptics to come out, including some top figures in Australia’s premier science bodies.

The latest IPCC report has warned that urgent action is required to restrict temperature rises to 1.5 degrees. If we stay on our current trajectory of not doing enough then 2 degrees increase is on the cards which will cause catastrophic changes.
Only politicians and cavemen seem to disagree with this - I can understand dumb people like Doc not getting a grip on it but surely our leaders can show a bit of guts and do something. What the fukc is wrong with them. Greenhouse gases and deforestation are the main causes.
in the last 400 years 2 thirds of the worlds forests have been wiped out for housing or agriculture. How can that and millions of tons of carbon pumped into the atmosphere not make a difference.
 and we treat the ocean like a sewer. 
Heres an extract from a science site


A survey of all peer-reviewed abstracts on the subject 'global climate change' published shows that not a single paper rejected the consensus position that global warming is man caused (Oreskes 2004). 75% of the papers agreed with the consensus position while 25% made no comment either way (focused on methods or paleoclimate analysis).

oh dear look who is the worse. 
Who is going to tell them ?
Is funny but these people who stand up and tell us what for, re pollution etc, never call out CHINA

thirty years ago when the western world became  aware of the danger to the planet, remember the pcb's , airasole cans, fridges etc ozone layer, plastic bags that would disintegrate, what happened to those?
CHINA entered the production market. All rules were then thrown out the window.
Where have been the prophets of doom then?
making money from cheap stuff coming out of CHINA of course.
Andrew Forrest, FMG, made his pile flogging cheap grade iron ore to CHINA, who then polluted themselves, and the world, turning it into something for the western world to buy.
Open slather began on the worlds atmosphere. 
Yea sure we could stop digging and selling oour coal, but what of other countries.

So, go and tell CHINA. the world cannot have its cake, and eat it to!!

Top 5 most polluting countries
  1. China (30%) The world's most populated country has an enormous export market, which has seen its industry grow to become a serious danger to the planet. ...
  2. United States (15%) The world's biggest industrial and commercial power. ...
  3. India (7%) ...
  4. Russia (5%) ...
  5. Japan (4%)

POLLUTION

The Countries Polluting The Oceans The Most

A team of researchers in the United States and Australia led by Jenna Jambeck, an environmental engineer at the University of Georgia, analyzed plastic waste levels in the world's oceans. They found that China and Indonesia are the top sources of plastic bottles, bags and other rubbish clogging up global sea lanes. Together, both nations account for more than a third of plastic detritus in global waters, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The original source data can be found here.

In 2010, 8.8 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from China with an estimated 3.53 million metric tons of it ending up in the ocean. A total of 3.2 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from Indonesia and it is estimated that 1.29 million metric tons became plastic marine debris. The United States is also guilty of polluting oceans with plastic, but at a much lower level than China. Annually, 0.11 million metric tons of waterborne plastic garbage comes from the United States. 

Originally this infographic incorrectly labeled the total amount of mismanaged plastic waste as the amount found in the water. It is now been updated to show the total amount of mismanaged plastic waste and the total amount of plastic marine debris.

As The New York Times wrote in its article about China’s new climate change plan:

"China is the world's No. 1 polluter. It burns more coal than the rest of the world combined. It produces more than a quarter of the world's human-caused global warming gases, nearly as much as North America and Europe put together."

isaac - sure china is the biggest polluter but australia is punching way above its weight

Contribution to global warming by AustraliaAustralia has one of the highest per capita emissions of carbon dioxide in the world, with 0.3% of the world's population it produces 1.8% of the world's greenhouse gasses. It was 18.3 tonnes per year per person and the 11th highest in the world per capita in 2009.

2015
Australia also has the highest per capita emissions in the OECD, with 26 tonnes of greenhouse gasses being emitted per person every year.3 Our emissions intensity is also high, at around 640 tonnes per unit of GDP,4 primarily due to the energy sector’s reliance on coal. As a comparison, the UK, a country with emissions slightly less than Australia’s has an emission intensity of around 220 tonnes per unit of GDP.

I look forward to it with interest.

I would bother if I thought you would read it, and/or comprehend it.

Good Grief.Dead

IPCC Reports? "Greehouse gases"? "peer-reviewed abstracts"? ... I'm surprised that marble didn't tell us that Waleed said that "the science is settled!"Clown
 
Is there any need for me to say a word softon?

IPCC Reports and the accuracy of their predictions have always stood on their own merit.

You would know that if you did any research and were not like marble, just another "Useful Ididot".

Even CNNPT isn't weighing in on this one!LOL
In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!
