Release of JFK assassination papers
OT re climate. With this release of papers that might cast new light on some of the mysteries of our time – I thought a blog was worthwhile for readers to add comments around any new “facts” – claims – surprises – to emerge for them. For my part despite reading various books on the assassination over decades plus viewing films & videos – I have never heard of a “bullet hole” in the limo windscreen and ditto never heard the view that Ruby had been a Communist Party member – I thought he had been a Chicago mob foot soldier in his early years. More to add later.
Win for PM as gas prices fall after he talks to suppliers
Credit where due – PM Turnbull is having a win with falling gas prices – Larger chart. Chart from 2012
but it seems a secret. I started warning of exploding energy prices on 6 June 2016 – did that pan out. Can update through Oct when data available. Top Link. I should have added for some that despite the Abbott/Turnbull Govts being lame ducks – by that I mean unable to get legislation through the Senate unless it has a GreenLabor flavour – the Feds have existing powers over exports. So a whisper to the gas majors about using the “export powers” and all of a sudden you have their undivided attention.
Why does New Zealand need both MetService and NIWA?
A very good “STUFF” Editorial I missed a year ago.
I often comment on NZ weather and climate issues but getting hold of basic data and map presentations as can be easily found for Australia at the BoM www site – is time consuming and near impossible for NZ. As STUFF says “We believe public weather data should be just that – public.” Amen to that.
In terms of normal weather forecasting NZ could probably get rid of much of their duplicated structure (MetService – NIWA) and use the COLA maps www feed from New York.

Huge temperature data shambles at Hokitika Aerodrome
Instrument change a ~decade ago –
amazing nobody at GHCN has noticed this complete failure to calibrate the new instrument with what it replaced – data from KNMI Climate Explorer. Minimum affected too. This has historic significance because Hokitika was one of the “rural” series in Jones original global dataset in the 1980’s that had a ~century of data.

What happened to NIWA “Near-record warmth” predicted for NZ South Island?
NIWA said only on Tuesday – Near-record warmth expected for parts of the South Island 17 Oct 17 – I have been checking places like Alexandra, Dunedin, Christchurch but can see little trace of this. Does anybody know what October hottest day records would be?
NZ election a coup for Helen Clark
The new PM is so inexperienced and has zero history of dealing with Winston Peters. But Clark and Peters got on OK 2005-2008. If new PM Taxinda Ardern stumbles too badly in the next 3 years then Aunty Hulun will be there in the background to plot her removal.
