When measurements don't matter... a YouTube by Calem Smith explaining how the Bureau of Meteorology grossly misrepresented the strength of Tropical Cyclone Marcia.
Well, meteorologists cannot be 100% accurate all the time, but they do a good thing by announcing us of possible dangers every day.
In the meantime, our daily activity which pollutes the environment reached levels that are no longer tolerated by nature and slowly we might face serious weather issues.
And I don't understand why Australia’s government needs a climate skeptic to review their own renewable energy targets? coal seem to be so important there? http://www.alternative-energies.net/australias-government-designated-a-climate-skeptic-to-review-its-renewables-target/
As Marcia was forming I was watching the American Satellite radar of the very strong Monsoons bringing rain to the coast and the central parts of Qld and NSW. Any dam operator had no excuse to bank water as dams are built to capture the regular 7-10 year rains, NOT ''1 in 10,000 year events'' as they claimed was responsible for the flooding. Dams are not built to capture rain in the following 10,000 years
Modelling doesn't work !
Brisbane had 14 major floods from 1900 when records started, and 3 major floods (+1 Dam flood) after 1900. It is accepted the Brisbane flood was a ''dam flood'' and looking out the window to see the blackest skies ever would have been more effective than modelling ! The BOM radar which shows what's coming 'in real time' was also dismissed
We have so many tools to observe weather and modelling takes precedence
My warning of what was headed to Grantham and Toowoomba was also dismissed

"Well, meteorologists cannot be 100% accurate all the time,"
The BoM predicted, with 90% confidence, an El Niño, which was suppose to rule the day. Where is El Niño?

" ... we might face serious weather issues."
If the BoM can not get basic atmospheric processes correct now, how is it going to get the future climate correct?
Here is a tweet from abc presenter Joe O'Brien with a photo of the damage from cyclone Lam cat 4.
