THE Australian Senate just passed the Clean Energy Legislation (Carbon Tax Repeal) Bill with a 39-32 vote effectively axing Australia's carbon tax. Labor and the Greens voted against. South Australian senator Nick Xenophon was absent.
Greens leader Senator Milne warned the new senators who supported the repeal that it will will be their political legacy. These new senators are Bob Day, David Leyonhjelm, Ricky Muir, Jackie Lambie, Glenn Lazarus and Dio Wang.
Well done.
I love it whenever people get together and share opinions. Great blog, keep it up!

We refer to all relevant weather/climate sites. . .govt & private.
We then compare & contrast. The last thing we would do is refer to just one.
They contain interesting information, often state the bleeding obvious & nicely present lots & lots & lots of data . . .mostly in the form of averages.
We don't find them any more useful in terms of management decisions than they have previously been.
Debbie - Jen's point about reiterating the same point over and over now back at you.
it's your turn to answer a question and not obfuscate. "Still waiting your detailed critique of the managing for climate variability program."
I think you just grizzle and are not a real user. Otherwise you'd be able articulate some usages. You never do. Now my statement here will be likely met with more questions. If so - don't bother.
"Like the nationalised industries and obstructive trade unions of the 1970s, the Green Blob has become a powerful self-serving caucus; it is the job of the elected politician to stand up to them. We must have the courage to tackle it head on, as Tony Abbott in Australia and Stephen Harper in Canada have done, or the economy and the environment will both continue to suffer."

Luke?
Well received by whom?
I am a producer. . .not a paid govt employee who mass produces climate/weather reports.
It doesn't alter the fact that us producers have our own historical records & can therefore spot politically based crapola when we see it.
I was raised to believe that the public service was there to serve the public.
Apparently in NRM & particularly climate science.
. .The public is defined as the urban green elite. . .who think us producers are red necked yokels who don't care about higher level principles & are 'climate criminals'.
A new study has found there is more heat escaping to space at the top of the atmosphere. This is the opposite to the greenhouse effect that alarmist scientists have berated with us for decades.

Even more adjustments of the BOM data to give an even higher trend. Ken Stewart should be congratulated for his exposure of this fiddled data.

Joe Bastardi thinks that the planet could be on a cooling trend for decades into the future. See 3mins on video. Who knows, certainly not me.

Christine Milne makes a fool of herself AGAIN. Yet so called educated ???? people are supposed to vote for the Greens?
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/christine_milne_taxes_the_warming_truth/
Bob Tisdale pulls apart the Risbey et al study??? that just confirms what sceptics have been saying for decades. And that is most climate models don't work and most of the warming/cooling or hiatus periods are mostly a direct result of ENSO/PDO/AMO etc.
So at least the authors of this paper have got something correct I suppose, but how long before other scientists and the MSM catch up and start telling the truth?
