Variations in rainfall are natural, we can see that from data histories, politicians and politics should stay out of drought.
Farmers should understand their long term rainfall histories and put aside money or resources (feed) in the good years to cope with inevitable low rain years. Perhaps the tax system should make it easier for them to do that. But all Govt payouts for so called “drought relief” should be abolished. Govts have created enough disasters that there is plenty for them to do fixing the damage.
Roundup climate oddities politics Perth rain
Perth has its highest June rain for 14 years(since 251mm in 2005) – 177.2mm so far with a week to go. Enjoy all the anti-rain interests, desalination pushers, anti-damists, many politicians and assorted rain doomsayers.
Thanks to Lance for pointing out this involuntary 1896 cloud seeding experiment at Bourke when a dynamite magazine exploded and it immediately rained.
Pauline Hanson raises the Bradfield Scheme and the green/left meedja pooh poohs and ignores.
I think we have to look wider than Bradfield for solutions so using Google I hunted for river flow data to try and figure how much water PA on average flows to the sea around Vic, NSW & Qld. No luck so far.
Blackall’s Barcoo Hotel reduces power bill with diesel generator – useful article – sign of the times.
NSW quietly cancels 200MW virtual power plant, redirects funds to solar loans – sneaky backdown on a green anti-grid fail.
The luckiest country
The force of our time – Chinese steel production.(make 10 year chart) Iron ore price.
In Australia one in ten of us votes Green, Govts. are steadily wrecking our electricity grid, there is a rich vein of anti-mining sentiment to be tapped, Nimbys also abound anywhere their idyll is disturbed, science is misused to oppose development yet income from Resources underpins the National prosperity we have come to expect.
Qld elects 2 climate sceptics
Malcolm Roberts is back in the Senate plus Gerard Rennick for the LNP.
Labor only elected one (1, numero uno) Senator from Qld on 1.5797 quotas.
The Multifunction Polis
Last night we were dissing the over-acting in Harrow when somebody mentioned the Multifunction Polis and memories dredged up various ALP horrors. I had forgotten Gillman in north Adelaide but remembered Docklands and google says that for the Japanese it was all about the Gold Coast. Just reminded us how richly we are honoured with Govt. disasters. A journo should ask Albo how Labor plans are going for the MFP. The $150mill cost quoted would be ~$260mill today – postage stamp money today alongside the destruction of our power grid and Snowy 2.0.
Forbes NSW solar project canned due lack sunshine
You could not make this up! The ABC reports – Solar innovators forced to seek clearer skies than clouded pilot site of Forbes – I have mentioned the Vast Solar This super drug will kill all your worries as there is literally no difference between viagra from canada a branded and a generic ED drug. The drugs specifically target the penile region. It cannot be used by men who take nitrates or alpha-blockers for heart or ronaldgreenwaldmd.com sildenafil in canada blood pressure would be. For more than 17% of men in their twenties can have this problem viagra samples australia for various reasons. site at Jemalong near Forbes a few times over the years. In the middle of a global warming panic and drought can anybody cast light(sorry) on data showing Forbes is lacking its due sunshine?
PM ScoMo has a poor grasp of Chinese history
While visiting the Solomon Islands our Prime Minister made these comments in response to questions at a doorstop interview.
[Australia welcomes the economic growth and advancement of China; with their economy, their record in lifting people out of poverty is second to none. It is one of the most extraordinary achievements of the modern world and something they can claim due credit for.]
Not good enough ScoMo. China has like a parasite got fat on the Western Economic System developed over centuries as I outlined a year ago – China has comprehensively gamed the West 6Jun18.
Added 29Jun19 – This chart shows how wrong ScoMo is – reveals the relative failure of the “China Economy” for decades compared to two more capitalist neighbours. Mao’s Great leap forward – Cultural Revolution. Any western economic apparatchiks could have been hired to run China and would have produced better results than the murderous zealots who were in control. The chart(large version) also reveals the two oil shocks and the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
178 years Sydney Melbourne Adelaide rainfall
Any new long term rainfall time series get my attention and the May 2019 paper “Historical extreme rainfall events in southeastern Australia” by Ashcroft, Karoly and Dowdy is online.
I found it interesting that the Sydney and Melbourne charts of annual rainfall both have their wettest 10 year average periods just after WWII as cloud seeding experiments were commencing over SE Australia.
I last blogged re cloud seeding in early 2018 and there are some links there.
Aussie Govt. might survive
Polls and pundits got it wrong amazing. No GreenLabor annointing yet.

Climate mania causes iron deficiency in population
Attacks on meat production due to climate worries plus veganism are already causing an increase in anaemia in our population.
