Climate change effects in Australia encompass both more extreme droughts and more extreme floods. This type of extreme rain event is not a good thing any more than drought is.

Where I am right now we're out of the floods but we're in a heatwave with record-breaking temperatures and it's not fun.


I will bag out Flannery any chance I get.
You do remember what he said, right?

The man made statements that will follow him forever and a day.
I've been doing it for over 2 years now and won't let people forget.
It is of his own making. 8)

We have had so much rain in the last 2 and half years that I no longer feel inclined to sit on the balcony and watch it.
That says a lot. 8)

Well that's as maybe, but crowing about it serves no useful purpose and as demonstrated, can be misread as something more uncaring where the weather has very real and harmful effects on others.

An Australian weather forecast thread is fine but perhaps toning the rhetoric down a little would be a good idea?

Minor flooding where I live, but nothing serious for me.
Other parts of the city are worse.

Another wet day.
So hard to do the gardening on rainy days.
Thankfully the main growing period is over.

This rain has been going on for close to a month now.
I think the dams are well and truly full now, Tim. :mrgreen:

Sydney's wettest summer in 30 years

More than 120mm of rain during the last two days means Sydney is now having its wettest summer in 30 years.

A persistent stream of moisture feeding into a slow-moving low pressure trough caused 105.2mm of rain to fall in Sydney’s Observatory Hill rain gauge during the 24 hours to 9am on Wednesday. This was the city’s highest rainfall daily total in a year.

https://www.weatherzone.com.au/news/syd ... ars/536255

There are other reports that say it is the wettest summer on record.
What has happened to journalistic integrity? :roll:

Personally, I don't recall seeing this much rain for around 50 years.

Time Flannery, you dummy. :roll: :mrgreen:

I don't see it as a hoax, but I have a problem with the left-wing political *catastrophization* of climate change.

Catastrophizing

Reviewed by Psychology Today Staff

Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion that prompts people to jump to the worst possible conclusion, usually with very limited information or objective reason to despair. When a situation is upsetting, but not necessarily catastrophic, they still feel like they are in the midst of a crisis.

Is a slow catastrophe any less a catastrophe? Though I suppose some will take comfort in that the catastrophe is slow because then it's not their problem, just a problem for everyone who fails to die before it gets much worse.

Just to be sure, though, they should probably not plan to linger in or near Australia, Greenland, Africa, Asia, North America, South America, Antarctic, Arctic, Atlantic, or the Pacific.

Well, the people who said, 10 or so years ago, that billions would die in 5 years time, were shown to be wrong.
I suggest you research "Extinction Rebellion". They are master catastrophists.

And Al Gore(y) and the rest of his troop, predicted a number of catastrophes, like "Even the rain that falls won't reach the damns" type events, that didn't eventual.
Polar bears have significantly grown in numbers as another example. It seemed that stopping them from being hunted to extinction had something/k to do with that. lol
And there are a lot more examples that I am sure you will dismiss, also.

Did you know that grain crop harvests, in particular, have grown enormously because of the small rise in temperature?
Plants luv CO2. It is plant food, after all.

Consider:
Covid prefers colder weather. Perhaps "god" is intervening and helping us with that. :wink:

I find Asia most problematic.
Himalayan glaciers are disappearing and once they completely disappear, great Asian rivers with sources in Tibetan Plateau (Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Mekong, Yangtze...) would be greatly reduced, making billions of people in this densely populated region lose their ability to grow food.
Current world does not manage mass migration well.

Extinction rebellion is not founded on science.
