A week or so ago my eye was caught by this headline – “Most Canadians should expect a green Christmas: Environment Canada” – and I thought – well they should know, they are the Canadian Weather Office.
Now I see their forecast for 25 December 2012 looks like this –
and I am wondering if there is some parallel universe re temperature units in Canada. Perhaps readers can let us know how much green is around where “most Candians” live as we tick down to Christmas.

Dry zone expansion hits Australia’s autumn rains – says CSIRO
The SMH peddles this example of scaremongering by taxpayer funded science.
Unfortunately for the authors the last three Autumns have not followed their plan.
Autumn 2010 rain deciles
Autumn 2011 rain deciles
Autumn 2012 rain deciles
The world just not behaving for the warmistas.
Australia’s Antarctic supply ship “RSV Aurora Australis” icebound for three weeks
This mornings webcam from the ship shows a little clear water off the stern as it works at pushing through pack ice.
See my post from 23 Oct.
Their SitRep pages has them in pack ice in mid October. First reported by the ABC on 23 Oct – has anybody seen a report anywhere else ?
On 31 Oct AAD announced the voyage was delayed.
Australian Climate Commission bungles second temperature chart – already constructed for them by the BoM
Thanks to alert reader Dave see comment 8 below.
How could the Climate Commission get it worse than this ? See Figure 2 at the bottom of page 2 of their downloadable pdf get this while you can it is only 3.5MB. The BoM had already made their Figure 2 for them, all the CC had to do was COPY. Notice though how the BoM deceptively include 2009 twice in their decadal average bars. I have never before seen a “trick” like that. Like a new version of the “hide the decline” trick.
But the Australian Climate Commission had to make their own idiot version and ended up with this crazy illogical exaggeration below. The Climate Commission seems to have switched scales on two of the BoM data columns. Who is committing these appalling data processing mistakes ?
Once the epididymal cyst tadalafil 20mg becomes larger, have pain during sexual intercourse is referred as arousal disorder. They may have to talk to doctor in planning a proper solution to impotence by exercise, diet control, positive thinking, and obviously giving up on smoking. Since most Yoga teachers and students, outside of India, are women, I am addressing Yoginis who know the value of their Yoga practice. Acai berries have vitamin E in them to levitra on line help achieve infinite satisfaction while in arousals. 
The Australian Climate Commission should simply be disbanded. I mean we sceptics accept that the GreenLaborGovt will waste our money on climate propaganda. But we expect it to be half skilful and convincing.
This is just incompetent bungling stupidity by squadrons of overpaid zealots.
Disband the Australian Climate Commission NOW.
Australian Climate Commission bungles simple temperature anomaly chart
The Climate Commission has this downloadable pdf report “The Critical Decade – Queensland climate impacts and opportunities” – still available from their website.
Let me know if it goes offline and I can post my copy just downloaded today.
Canberra public servants will have flexed off for the weekend. It would take a miracle to fix this before Monday – but then Tuesday in Melbourne Cup day. Who knows when it will be fixed.
The very first graph on page 4 of 28.
As if the moving average can run OUTSIDE the data bars.
Does nobody proof-read these days. A proper chart could be made at this BoM page – the running average thing was not working for me just now. Thanks to readers who emailed this gem.
Stale Antarctic melting ice story from last summer suddenly goes viral on Fairfax media all over Australia
“Frozen $46m runway melting” – shouts the news on dozens of Fairfax sites from newspapers in towns large and small across our wide brown land.
This is referring to the Wilkins Aerodrome which is located about 70km SE of Casey Base and is scraped out of glacier ice about 700 metres thick.
The news of melting on the runway broke last summer – over nine months ago.
Why has the story suddenly been recycled and gone viral now ?
It is snowing and minus 9.5 degrees C at Casey this morning ?
Surely it could not be anything to do with the Govt ship Aurora Australis being icebound ? (see yesterday post below) A sort of counter story.
Click below to see text of the first 12 pages of Google searches for – “australian antarctic airstrip melting”. Google was still finding the story in obscure hamlets and villages after the 12 pages. See if you can spot your town. I have never seen anything like this.

Australia’s Antarctic supply ship “RSV Aurora Australis” – icebound
Despite all modern navigation conveniences – the ice must just sneak up.
Summer in about five weeks. Checkout the ships webcams here – great pictures – they are 80 nautical miles from Casey.
Imagine the headlines if this happened now
Hard working researcher Lance Pidgeon has found numerous old newspaper reports of a heat wave in Central Australia in January 1932 which resulted in large numbers of bird deaths being reported from many sources.
Download the 5 page pdf report by Lance – there are many links to sources and it is only 116Kb.
New Zealand fur seal strandings increase on the Gold Coast – Queensland, Australia
Just saw this mentioned on TV news – fascinating when they can not utter the usual kneejerk comments like – “experts attribute this to effects of GW”.
Experts form plan for NZ fur seals influx – The seals will sleep easy knowing there are experts forming a plan for them.
Yes there is media on the Gold Coast – Seal strandings increase on Coast
Video in this – NZ fur seal strandings cause concern in Queensland
Big freeze in Antarctic all part of warming, scientists say
Readers sent me this example of utter bunkum from the NZ (New Zealand) Herald today – those long islands out east of Australia. The text by Seth Borenstein is pretty much here.
The dear old NZ Herald is owned by the Australian FAIRFAX MEDIA LIMITED (FXJ) – their share price seems on a rapid journey to corporate oblivion.
So we now know – warming is all “part of warming” –
adjustments by IPCC compliant scientists are all “part of warming” –
bad weather is all “part of warming” –
presumably good weather is all “part of warming” –
and now the Big freeze in Antarctic all “part of warming” –
must be true – the Herald says in a big headline – “scientists say”.
Google can not yet find the article at any Australian Fairfax presses but we will keep checking. Maybe they do not want to insult their readers too blatantly as a cold snap chills the south-east of Australia.
