In Australia we argue over the niceties of granting a Minister power to cancel a passport if national security is an issue – compared to relying on our marvellous court processes to cancel a passport. Bearing in mind the Minister’s decision would be subject to judicial review.

UK Met Office says that the activity of our sun is in decline but that any cooling will be swamped by global warming
I note the abstract of their paper – Regional climate impacts of a possible future grand solar minimum – is misleading when it starts by saying – “Any reduction in global mean near-surface temperature due to a future decline in solar activity..” Stating that any decline is in the future. Yet in the paper they clearly state the decline is happening now and is accelerating. – “The decline in solar activity has continued, to the time of writing, and is faster than any other such decline in the 9,300 years covered by the cosmogenic isotope data1.” Never trust anything written by pro-IPCC sources without checking the fine print.
Two media reports – Solar decline may mean colder UK winters – Met Office study – and – Britain faces FREEZING winters as slump in solar activity threatens ‘little Ice Age’
New Zealand hottest ever day in February 1973 arrived directly from Australian heatwave
After being pointed to a NIWA page of NZ climate extremes I saw that the hottest ever day in NZ was the 7th Feb 1973 when it was 39.2 at Ruatoria and 42.4 at Rangiora. Curiosity made me check Sydney that month and a ~40 degree heatwave ended on the 6th.

Fascinating that the Australian air traveled ~2400 km over the ditch yet retained heat to make 40 across Aotearoa. Yet pro-IPCC dogmas would not admit to UHI warmed air wafting out to the countryside to affect rural stations.
The BoM rates Canberra Airport as a “non-urban” site despite close proximity to booming urban area.

Islamic State conflict: Kurds ‘capture Syrian town north of Raqqa’
Lets just hope the Kurdish forces are supported by western intelligence and have good communications links with western air power.
Technical Advisory Forum report into the Australian Bureau of Meteorology ACORN temperature data uses charts from data not available to the public
These charts from the TAF pdf report are not from public data I am aware of.
Can anybody assist with a URL to download the data used to construct these charts?
Thanks very much.
Confused reporting of cold in New Zealand
The headline in The NZ Herald says – New Zealand hit by record cold temperatures overnight – Yet a reading of the article gives no examples of actual records.
But some bone chilling -20°C overnight lows in the South Island. Hopefully some Kiwis might have better information.
The Met Office over there and NIWA have a very poor online data sources to check weather history. The Australian BoM is light years ahead with their www site.
Kiwis who are interested in weather history would be better served by the NZ weather authorities abandoning their pitiful WWW efforts and contracting that www weather history stuff out to the BoM.
Why does the BoM adjusted ACORN temperature series incorporate urban heated Australian capital city data?
Now the the BoM adjusted warmer temperature series ACORN is in news again – thanks to Dr Jennifer Marohasy and Graham Lloyd Environment Writer at The Australian newspaper – it seems a fair question to ask. Surely if you were starting from scratch with BoM raw weather records It grows in water and is found in India, buying sildenafil Korea, Japan and Russia. They need supplements that can cater to these needs. Almonds This dry fruit is considered secretworldchronicle.com/tag/mercedes-lackey/ tadalafil 5mg no prescription as the best food for a healthy and balanced diet. But, if you are looking for a non-invasive treatment, vacuum therapy system is your pick. to build an honest temperature history of Australia – the first step would be to exclude all data known to be urban heat island UHI affected. No? There are hundreds of historic weather records available from sites with less UHI contamination – but the BoM include all Australian big cities. I’m puzzled.

Imagine the meeja hysteria if Govt people were involved?
Govt should commission a series of free DVD’s with editorials so citizens can see-hear for themselves the amazing and voluminous testimony from the TURC which otherwise will mostly go through to the keeper.
Some extracts below from transcripts –
Alex texts Nectari giving directions as to how much money to give to various persons, including “2,500 to Darren”. Ms McNaughton reminded Mr Greenfield that he is under oath. She was exquisitely precise in describing the location from which it will no doubt be alleged Mr Greenfield retrieved money at the Alex apartment.

Mr Greenfield now claims that he would go to the Alex toilet to collect documents from the drawer – a text from Alex to Greenfield says, “toilet, first drawer”.
Another text from George Alex to a 3rd man says, “put $2500 in drawer under sink”.
Somehow Mr Greenfield kept a straight face when he answered that he would arrange to pick up business papers from Mr Alex’s home – in the drawer under the sink in the toilet.
Ms McNaughton, “Is it your honest answer that you have never seen cash in the toilet, is it your honest answer that documents were left for you in the toilet drawer?”
Greenfield says, “Yes, it’s a serious answer.”
The Australian newspaper publishes another article on BoM scandalous temperature adjustments to Rutherglen data

Jo Nova is on to the pathetic BOM Technical Advisory Forum report too – If it can’t be replicated, it isn’t science: BOM admits temperature adjustments are secret
