The new Commonwealth “National Recovery and Resilience Agency (NRRA)” will distribute $Billions to victims of fire, flood, drought, but can anybody point to successful Fed Gov spending initiatives.
They also announce the formation of the “Australian Climate Service” to “better collate data”. What th’? we do not have enough Gov orgs pumping out “global warming climate change agitprop” now?
The NRRA was suggested by the “bushfire royal commission” which was an opera to “global warming climate change”.
But the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements ignored the Sep 2019 news from the BoM that “sudden stratospheric warming” was worsening the drought. The BoM said quote “Past stratospheric warming events and associated wind changes have had their strongest effects in NSW and southern Queensland, where springtime temperatures increased, rainfall decreased and heatwaves and fire risk rose.”
And in the ABC article “Rare weather event over Antarctica driving Australia’s hot, dry outlook” 6Sep19 the BoM says quote “SSW is not thought to be caused by global warming. “We view SSW as a natural, internally-generated phenomena,” Dr Hendon said.”
These facts have been totally lost in the responses post the fires and “sudden stratospheric warming” did not feature in 2020 news that I saw.
That September 2019 BoM article on Sudden Stratopheric Warming:
A woman of my aquaintance, generally very sensible and even hard-headed, was worrying about the drought before it broke early 2020, so I referred her to the BoM SSW article, especially the BoM view that “climate change” did not cause that drought, nor even intensify it.
Her response was along the lines of: “I don’t care about weather, I worry about climate change.”
Not a hope, Warwick.
