Who will be the first to blame global warming?
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, February, 02, 2011, (5:42am)
In an almost certainly doomed attempt to head off the "global-warming-caused-Cyclone-Yasi" meme, here's an extract from the Bureau of Meteorology site:
On average 4.7 tropical cyclones per year affect the Queensland Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre Area of Responsibility. There is a strong relationship with eastern Australian tropical cyclone impacts and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon, with almost twice as many impacts during La Niña than during El Niño…
There have been 207 known impacts from tropical cyclones along the east coast since 1858. Major east coast tropical cyclones impacts include 1890 Cardwell; 1893 Brisbane; 1898 NSW; 1899 Bathurst Bay; 1918 Innisfail; 1918 Mackay; 1927 Cairns and inland areas; 1934 Port Douglas; 1949 Rockhampton; 1954 Gold Coast; 1967 Dinah, Southern Queensland; 1970 Ada, Whitsunday Islands; 1971 Althea, Townsville; 1974 Wanda, Brisbane; and 2006 Larry, Innisfail.
The Queensland region of the Gulf of Carpentaria region has been hit by several disastrous tropical cyclones. These include The 1887 Burketown cyclone, The 1923 Douglas Mawson cyclone, The 1936 Mornington Island cyclone; the 1948 Bentick Island cyclone and Ted in 1976.

Some of the worst on the Queensland coast:
10 March 1918
10 March 1918
This tropical cyclone is widely regarded as the worst cyclone to hit a populated area of Queensland. It crossed the coast and passed directly over Innisfail. The pen on the Post Office barograph was prevented from registering below 948 hPa by the flange on the bottom of the drum… In Innisfail, then a town of 3,500 residents, only around 12 houses remained intact… Recent reports suggest that 37 people died at Innisfail while 40 - 60 lost their lives in nearby areas…
9 February 1927
This tropical cyclone crossed the coast just to the north of Cairns… A total of 47 people lost their lives…
12 March 1934
This tropical cyclone crossed the coast near Cape Tribulation with a 9.1 m storm surge at nearby Bailey Creek destroying banana plantations. The Pearling fleet just off the coast near Cape Tribulation was devastated with many luggers and 75 lives lost ...
Too late, says reader Diogenes, who spots the first scoundrel, And, yes, it's the party led by the rank opportunist who blamed coal miners for the Brisbane floods:
The Australian Greens say Tropical Cyclone Yasi is a "tragedy of climate change"… Greens deputy leader Christine Milne says the cyclone is another example of why it is important to cut carbon pollution.

Shameless, or merely very, very stupid?
There's something ghoulish, even sick, about the Greens hanging around every disaster scene, crying "repent your sins!". Before Bob Brown and Christine Milne make an even greater spectacle of themselves, I'd ask some Greens staffer to print off this page from the Bureau of Meteorology website and stick it under their leaders' noses. It shows, if anything, a trend to fewer cyclones in Australia - and stresses the fact that they are more frequent during La Ninas, which we now have again:
Further down that page:
Since that time [IPCC report 2001] there has been a growing number of studies that indicate a consistent signal of fewer tropical cyclones globally in a warmer climate.
I'll say it again: scoundrels.
Reader John McMahon:
You omitted to mention Tropical Cyclone Mahina, which hit Princess Charlotte Bay/Bathurst Bay on 4th March 1899. Todate it has been Australia's most severe cyclone and was a Category 5 also, killing over 400 people.
Jonathan Nott of James Cook University and Matthew Hayne of the Australia Geological Survey Organisation describe it:
Tropical Cyclone Mahina was the most intense tropical cyclone to cross the Australian coast in historical times. Its central pressure was recorded by barometer at 27 inches (914hPa) as the eye approached the coast at Bathurst Bay (Figure 1) at approximately 4.30 am on the 22nd March 1899 (Whittingham 1958)…
One of the most interesting aspects of this event was the eyewitness report of a 43 foot (13m) surge at Ninian Bay adjacent to Barrow Point 30 km south of Bathurst Bay which extended inland for 2–3 miles (3–5 km). Constable Kenny, camped on a ridge fully 40 foot above sea level, was inundated to his waist by a 'tidal wave' (storm surge and associated ephemeral sea level rise) at his camp site
some 0.5 miles (800m) inland at approximately 5 am (Anonymous 1899). This account suggests this surge was the largest ever recorded in Australia.
Cyclone Yasi's central pressure is going to run Mahina's 914hPa close:
Central Pressure: 924 hPa
Jon Faine on Melbourne 774 ABC insists it's global warming that's bringing these floods and cyclones, and gets alarmist Graeme Pearman telling him we've never had so many intense tropical cyclones.
Ryan Maue confronts the ideologues with the facts about cyclone activity lately:
Maue sums up:
For the calendar-year 2010:
**66-tropical cyclones globally, the fewest in the reliable record (since at least 1970)
**46-tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere, fewest since 1977
**Global calendar year ACE total of 529 was the lowest since 1977.
**The Northern Hemisphere ACE total of 373 was the lowest since 1977.
**Combined North Eastern and Western Pacific ACE total of 171 lowest since at least 1970.
**Western North Pacific had 8 Typhoons fewest in at least 65-years of records.
**Eastern North Pacific had 8 TCs: 3 were hurricanes, the fewest since at least 1970.
**North Atlantic ACE for 2010 was 170, the 11th most since 1950, and most since 2005.
Have Your Say
I'll throw 5 bucks at Christine Milne.
Christine got Luke Grant's "Clown of the evening" award for blaming "Climate Change" about 8:30 last night.
Didn't take long

Wed 02 Feb 11 (08:33am)
Interesting to hear on the radio today that even one of Bolt's handpicked climate experts wasn't so keen to brand the Greens as "irresponsible" and "ghoulish".
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:31am)
Michael - so Milne, Brown, Young are 'climate experts' as well, are they ?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (11:49am)
Ryan Maue's data is irrelevant to Graeme Pearmans observation that the cyclones that we are seeing contain a greater proportion of intense ones within their ranks. We are also seeing the fastest intensifications yet observed: moving up categories in record time.
No-one except a few journalists and inept pollies are claiming that GW has caused Yasi. The experts are saying that record SSTs and enhanced atmospheric moisture levels due to GW can have influenced/potentiated Yasi and the Brisbane and Victorian floods,which recorded record dew points and all-time daily rainfall records.This is simply what the physical science says is a consequence of steadily increasing a persistent GHG.The science also tells us we have experienced a global high for precipitation and temperature in 2010. Go figure.
Just as the Greens may be the first off the block to say-wrongly- GW caused these events,so is Mr Bolt just as eager to claim GW did not,therefore could not have played a part . Did/did not...did/did not...did/did not....neither position is tenable or necessary.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (02:32pm)
"Michael - so Milne, Brown, Young are 'climate experts' as well, are they ? "
So Andrew Bolt is a climate expert, right. No? doesn't stop him claiming multiple times daily that human induced climate change is not occurring.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (02:41pm)
While I agree it isn't right to blame global warming, Andrew is a hypocrite as he repeatedly used Europe's cold weather as evidence against last year.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (02:43pm)
poly...tsk tsk
".are saying that record SSTs and enhanced atmospheric moisture levels due to GW can have influenced/potentiated Yasi and the Brisbane and Victorian floods.."
reply-arrant non-sense…
1)MMGWW=Proven Science Fiction Story
2)Water Vapour Content always varied -lat/long/season/location/height........potentiated? jibber goes against known science
3)the sun is the cause of all weather ....not a minor gas
"..have experienced a global high for precipitation and temperature in 2010.."
wrong-no such thing has been measured/observed and the ref you quote uses dodgy manufactured programs to arrive at a FICTIONAL land sea temp index...how many times do we have to tell you-there is no such thing as a GAT...let alone land sea GAT...HOTTEST EVA? ...tsk tsk..BS already
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:25pm)
So sorry,Isobar,but observations confirm my comment. When you can demonstrate you know the science ,then maybe you can make claims about 'known science' A global temperature can be arrived at ,whether you know anything about LTE or not.

The Greens evidently possess a basic failure to search information on the internet.
This map took me 30 seconds to locate. It shows the tracks of 100 years of cyclonic activity for Australia. Interesting to note that a good half dozen of them have made their way as far south as Tasmanian/NZ South Island latitudes.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (08:08am)
Given their self-righteous indignation and choral bleating following the Christmas Island debacle and criticisms of certain sections of the media for coming out "too early" after a disaster/tragedy, are they not coming out a little bit early this time? I mean, the thing hasn't even hit yet!
Just need to get them and their rubbish out of our schools. I don't want my child being indoctrinated in to their high church.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (08:21am)
The Greens evidently possess a basic failure to search information on the internet.
It's not about their basic failure to search information but their basic failure to grasp reality.
The part that makes me violently ill is their constant use of these events as propaganda platforms.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (09:19am)
I have done a spreadsheet, based on the information from that site up to 1980, and the only months where there was no cyclone recorded in the Australian area were August and September. It is also interesting to see the number of years when a large number of cyclones were recorded, the most (up until 1980) being nine in the eastern area in 1963 and ten in the western area in 1975. There are quite a few years when up to eight or nine cyclones were recorded in each area.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (09:41am)
Nevertheless, cyclones form over warm waters and warmer waters will impact on their strength and frequency.
And around the planet - not just Aust as quoted here - there has been a large increase in the number and proportion of very strong cyclones.*
*See this study "Changes in Tropical Cyclone Number, Duration, and Intensity in a Warming Environment", P. J. Webster1, G. J. Holland, J. A. Curry1 and H.-R. Chang.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:13am)
AS - that's all very nice sweetie, now PROVE it is due to man-made influence.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:33am)
AS replied to Diogenes
Nevertheless, cyclones form over warm waters and warmer waters will impact on their strength and frequency.
Nevertheless, I have missed the humour of your rantings.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (12:17pm)
universal - I just noted the link between strength and warm waters
I'm sure you can search for the evidence about ocean heat content yourself if you want to see the proof of our influence on the ocean's temp or sst.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (01:41pm)
AS, I see your study and raise you here.
Complex business this isn't it? Don't you think the whole 'global warming' mantra could be just a little bit simplistic for something as complex as the world's climate?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (01:46pm)
AS - BTW - this particular cyclone formed over ocean waters with a recorded COOLER than normal temperature.
Kiss your warming theory goodbye.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (01:54pm)
Last sentence from AS's link.
These increases have taken place while the number of cyclones and cyclone days has decreased in all basins except the North Atlantic during the past decade.
This global warming is wonderful.While the proportion and frequency of cyclones has increased the number of cyclones and cyclone days has decreased in all basins.
I have read this right haven't I.?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (02:51pm)
Ancient Mariner - you're on the wrong topic.
I was commenting on strength not frequency.
More of the cyclones were stronger- not a greater outright number of cyclones.
universal - you claim,
ocean waters with a recorded COOLER than normal temperature
That is plain wrong
In any event are you claiming a brand new meteorological discovery - that warm waters have nothing to do with tropical storms? Look out Tasmania its cyclone season…
Wed 02 Feb 11 (05:50pm)
AS replied to Diogenes
universal - I just noted the link between strength and warm waters
While you were searching for any link to support your religion did you notice the link between Al Gore's speeches and unseasonably cold weather events as well?
Similar correlation some would argue…
rukidding replied to Diogenes
This global warming is wonderful.
Isn't it just?
It's impossible to falsify because everything's consistent with it.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (05:56pm)
But AS, the standard climate change mantra is that global warming will result in an increase in frequency and intensity.
Are you saying the predictions are half right and half wrong? If so then a new theory is needed that fits ALL the facts.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:38pm)
I am not one to get angry easily but whenever I hear the words "climate change" it makes my blood boil, I am so sick of it.
That waste of space, Sara Hanson-dumb has already done it.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:19am)
Has the Bureau of Meterology seen a glimpse of the truth? It appears that they are now slowly backing away from their position on on global warming. One can but wonder why?
At the risk of appearing cynical, could it be that the money lavished on global warming research is drying up? Will the CSIRO follow?

My concern with BoM was that many people were aware of the potential of Cyclone Yasi before it appeared on their website. Last week many emergency personnel associated with response to Cyclone Anthony were saying things along the line 'We're not really worried about Anthony. It's the one behind it near Vanuatu that's got us worried'. (And if anyone wanted to check this out - pose a question to any of the emergency personnel - how long have you been aware of the potential of Cyclone Yasi? Were you preparing for this whilst Cyclone Anthony was crossing the coast?)
But it was only on Monday (around Midday) that BoM started reports on its website regarding Yasi - even though Fiji and other weather Bureaus already had reports on it. Yes - technically Yasi did not fall into BoM's 'weather zone' (over 1000 km away) but many in Australia were already aware and very concerned.
BoM wants to tell us what may or may not happen decades ahead due to 'climate change', and is happy to report 'weather' for a few days ahead… But how about some preliminary forecasts for events such as these… Oh, that's right, BoM is not meant to 'guess the weather' (unless it's some unforeseeable future due to 'AGW')
On the whole, I still reckon BoM does an excellent job - but is there too much influence in regard to AGW (and too many resources directed that way, with perhaps inapproroiate fund directed elsewhere? I've just heard that the weather station at Willis Island has given way...)
Yes, it was Christine, the most extreme of the the greens and obviously an expert on cyclones, being a native of Tasmania
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:23am)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:03am)
How about we round them all up and intern them in Tasmania.
It seems there must be something in the water there that gives them such radical, idiotic views.
Must be the isolation from reality that affects them.
The innercity fringe dwellers also should be taken out into the country towns for a lesson on how the rest of the world lives.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (11:13am)
I was unaware that one's level of expertise on any subject was defined solely by their geographic proximity to the event.
By your definition then this blogger is also unable to comment on Cyclone Yasi, as he is from Melbourne, let alone international affairs such as the current protests in Eygpt.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:11pm)
Troy, while we are at it with proximity, Brown and Hanson-Young from Tasmania?! Wow! That says a lot
Andrew, how about a Youtube link to "I love a sunburnt country"? Plenty to choose from.
I've thought about her so much lately - floods, fires, and now find myself waiting on the outer "gale force winds" forecast patch of Yasi.
Nice to have you back.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:28am)
Andrew, it may not be over after Yasi.
Queensland long-range weather forecaster Haydon Walker is predicting more major flooding across the state in February and March. Mr Walker predicted the devastating Queensland floods and the first of five cyclones that is already formed off north Queensland.
He says there is more heavy rain to come, with a second cyclone expected to form in late January, and three more in late February and early March. "I'd be concerned about the months of February and March for the south-east district," he said.
"It's going to be right along the Queensland coastline for February and also into the border areas of New South Wales. "Also there's a lot of heavy rain for the inland districts and then once again in March, it's heavy rains again along the Queensland coastline.
Haydon Walker is the son of the well known long range weather forecaster Lennox Walker.
As far as I am concerned, I reckon he might well be right and am making preparations for cyclonic activity here in Brisbane. Have already filled one box with non-perishables, about to start on the second box with a firstaid kit, and other essentials. Gas bottles are already filled and waiting.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:32am)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:26am)
Too true Rosemary, I saw a similar report aired during the flood news, they (the weather channel) also said to expect up to 5 cyclones were on their way.
Like myself Rosemary - cleaning kits at the ready (again)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:26am)
I can pretty much guarantee that Brisbane will be flooded again this season. La Nina is expected to last until May, and the ground is already saturated.
On the upside, the Great Artesian Basin is getting a good replenishment. I remember during the drought reading something about people worried that it would run dry? Worry no more!
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:36am)
Rosemary I hope you and all Andrew's friends further north stay safe. We have just travelled through SEQ and were astonished at the damage wrought by the floods and the unbelievable height the water rose to - there was mud and weed in the tops of some trees alongside small creeks and substantial bridge and barrier structures twisted like matchwood. How much more can you stand?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (08:16am)
This hardly surprising. Whatever caused the big flood is still out there; namely La Nina. There does seem to be a 30-40 year cycle at work. This must be the most extreme la Nina since the 1970's. But only natural and cyclical. Expect more to come.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (08:29am)
Rosemary- -you seem so out of your depth-frightened by your own ignorance?
1)LRWForecasting is not possible beyond 2 weeks-period.
2)LW- as i followed in my years at the Bureau-as with IJones were repeatedely proven to be Snake Oil Salesmen..
go read/google the Many Official Investigations of these types-and the cornclusions was always the same-arrant rubbish -bodgy science and unfounded bloated claims proven to be false-feeding /preying on the hopes of peoples who know nothing about the Atmosphere and how it actually works......
3)Rosemary--starting with IJones these LRWForecasters have suckered Queenslanders for some 100 years and got paid extraordinary amounts of money as well...."well known ??" in the minds of those desperate to belief that voodoo science trumps Science..do some research....
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:17am)
isobar waffled '- in my years at the Bureau' - that would be the same bureau that can't even get a accurate local weather prediction right for under a week ?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:19am)
Isobar, cyclones come this far south. Its not unheard of.
Haydon Walker might well be wrong or he might be proved right after all. However it is prudent to be prepared for the worst case situation. Given the very strong La Nina that is happening, you cannot rule out the possibility of cyclonic events in the SE corner of Qld this year.
If nothing happens then I can unpack the boxes and put the items away, however if something happens then we are prepared.
Btw, check out the link here. I am quite concerned about the disturbances E/SE of Fiji. Looking at the radar I feel that this disturbance may have the potential to develop into yet another tropical cyclone and it seems to be at a lower latitude so if it develops and moves west, then SE Qld might well be threatened.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:27am)
Isobar - Rosemary said nothing to provoke this response. Engage brain first, then respond.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:45am)
To: Davo of the Red Empire
Dear Davo,
Studies show that the replenishing waters for the Great Artesian Basin come from PNG, under the Torres Strait and into the Basin. Nevertheless the rains have been very much welcomed by the people in the West along with the people, farmers in particular, along the Murray-Darling.

iso replies to U-you seem a trifle cornfused...LW/IJ are carpet baggers selling LRWF ....and studies/royal commissions have tagged such people and their work as no more than junk science-go read the reports-and my personal observations of LW and his work allow me to say this with certainty-remeber his 1984 predcition fiasco? huh? remember?hallo -where were you?
as to the BOMmy answer is simple for the simpleton
"no forecast is a statement of truth"-there are no right or wrong forecasts-at the time issued they represent the best that can be done-whatever follows will follow...forecasts are prob based statements..what part don't you understand?

Check the ocean temperatures at this site and you may agree Yasi may not be the last for the season.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (02:44pm)

And you sure don't like being corrected or questioned, don't you..
Wed 02 Feb 11 (03:32pm)

Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:03pm)
I don't know where New Guinea comes from, because none of you have provided references. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the water comes from there, but there is no way that the largest artesian basin in the world would have such a small refresh area, even if that area was tropical. This paper (see page 40 in particular) says it's refreshed from rainfall in Eastern Australia.
Yes Andrew, I heard that drivel from Christine Milne (on ABC radio of course) and it was the only story yesterday afternoon not giving people valuable safety information as we are all preparing for the cyclone. I was disgusted that the greens could waste valuable air time right now trying to score political points and that the media (yeah even the ABC) would oblige them.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:38am)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:19am)
Wait till the greens get in power, the ABC will happily become their propaganda mouthpiece - even more so, that is.
First we had the GFC now we have the GFC 2- Great flood crisis and now we have cyclone Yasi bearing down on Cairns upgraded to a category 5- a GFC3- Great flattening crisis.. AGW it isn't. It's Feb in FNQ. It's cyclone season and like the floods this the one that comes around every century or so. Climate change promoters will be flattened by this. Indeed, they will be reduced to flatulence promoters, a small ill wind the blows no good… Baten down the hatches Yasi is going to be massive and make a helluva mess.. Disaster! Dire and extremely dangerous.. No time Greens to be playing foolish politics.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:38am)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (09:06am)
Of course! It has nothing to do with global warming because these sea surface temperature changes don't affect weather or cyclone development!
The extent to which AGW affects events like these is very hard to determine but there is NO doubt it has had an effect and a significant one.
The whole reason we do science is to try and build models for predicting outcomes and determining risks. This event is just more evidence adding to a raft of evidence that AGW is real and will severly affect our future.
It comes as no surprise that those that have chosen to deny solid science, will also deny the evidence when it stares them in the face.
There are decades of AGW-related temperature increase to come and the outcomes we are seeing now will almost certainly pale into insignificance compared to what the future holds. But we are about to get a glimpse of that future and a degree of confirmation that Garnaut and Stern were and are on the money.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:22am)
breaker, take a look at relevant data.
SST today is close to the anomaly.
global air temp is Negative anomaly.
your AGW link has no evidence for an anthropogenic cause of warming.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:34am)
Can you tie CO2 to all the other extreme weather events such as the Federation Drought 100 years ago, the great floods of the 1840s and 1890s, cyclone Mahini (1899), the NSW/Vic heatwaves in the late 1930s and the longest heatwave in 1823/24, the 1851 Vic bushfires which burnt almost 25% of the state and the large dust storms in the mid 1940s?
Or were they just natural occurences?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (11:11am)
Sadly for you breaker, there is a whole world of people out there who believe AGW is a marxist inspired myth. You speak as though it exists, yet there are great volumes of science that destroy your assumption that AGW even exists.
breaker, how many times do you frothing mouth greens need to be repudiated by the very same climate you claim to be so accurately forecasting as well as the corrupted system you belong to?
- Oops, its not Global Warming when in fact we are cooling.
- Oops, it's not a perma drought when we are having ONCE again substantial rainfalls on the continent.
- Oops, these storms are NOT increasing in frequency or intensity they have in fact been declining.
- Ooops, it'snot about taking action that could possibly help in mitigating some bogey man dreamed up by the nebulus climate science fraternity, when in fact as Copenhagen clearly showed it is about Marxist inspired wealth distribution.
Your attempts to put the frigheners on us will not work. We will not go about cowering in our daily lives seeking help and refuge from the bogey man in the oh so loving and sympathetic arms of your Socialist embraces.
Every day your pathetic position becomes more distrusted and hopeless because the facts expose not only the deceit of AGW but the undermining motives behind this cult.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (12:10pm)
tony s
your AGW link has no evidence for an anthropogenic cause of warming
If it's not anthropogenic, what natural cause do you think is causing the warming?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (03:32pm)
AS, thank you for finally admitting there is no evidence for AGW.
The responsibility is with you and the pro AGW side to provide evidence of causation. They are making the catastrophic claims and calling for drastic action. If there is no evidence, then there is no evidence.
We are where we have always been with climate, in that we don't fully understand this complex mechanism.
Now I can have my own beliefs that the sun drives our climate. Our knowledge is incomplete but here's some interesting reading.
The point is I'm not claiming I have evidence. I'm not asking you to believe me. I don't want to change the way you live because of it.

You can't be serious GARNAUT ? Ross Garnaut , this guy has no morals at all . breaker where have you been ? Your right !! his on the money alright , all his links to mining companies .
By the way breaker where is Ross ?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:15pm)
GW - no problem
AGW - get off the prawns, mate, you have absolutely no proof.
Lead the way to the caves mate, I be following you in a bit, NOT!!
She is a rank opportunist, Disgraceful Party. Brown got done over by Mr Bolt after the Floods so they trott her out.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:39am)
The Greens will stop at NOTHING to push their cause, even when presented with cold hard facts, they will put ANY weather event under the umbrella of climate change (aka man made global warming).
Andrew asks the question are the Greens just shameless or very very stupid? Clearly they are both.
The Greens are a cancer on our nation, the sooner they are eliminated the better off we will ALL be..and no I don't mean to suspend the democratic process (as the Greens Clive Hamilton would suggest to pursue his agenda), but the very opposite, for the people AND the major political parties to wake up to themselves and put them last on the ballot sheet making them the irrelevance they deserve to be.

John, you think they are bad now, wait till july when they have even more sway and say in parliament, thanks to Gillard selling us all out to them for her government to stay in power.
Talk about selling the soul of Australia to the devil.
Those who aren't saying Yasi is due to climate change are for some reason using that 'unprecedented' word again, which had such a workout from Gillard, Swan and Bligh through January, even though those events were hardly unprecedented. Yasi is a very large cyclone in terms of area, but it's still 'only' a category 4. It's hardly 'unprecedented'.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:46am)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:27am)
Now it's Category 5. But still not 'unprecedented'.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (08:10am)
I agree.
The emotional hyperbole in their language has reach an all time high.
Yesterday morning Anna Bligh was interviewed on Today and she said 'a monster killer storm' and sounded like she was reading her lines rather than responding to the interviewer.
It is no doubt a major storm and could quite likely cause deaths but really a monster killer storm.
We have always had major storms and undoubtedly they will continue to come as part of our weather patterns.
I hope the models they are using for floods aren't from the makers of the climate models. The flood models predicted record floods but they were only major and not record breakers.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (08:18am)
What is unprecedented is the ineptness of govt we have at the moment.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (01:36pm)
Davo, this study includes a comprehensive assessment of previous cyclones and their impact.
What we are seeing unfold is not unanticipated by those with expertise. I noted the use of 'unprecedented' when it first started flooding before Christmas and pointed out its irrelevance to the ABC. But they just love the word.
Anything for attention I suppose and public safety be damned.
Trouble is it has always happened in QLD http://www.pictureqld.slq.qld.gov.au/home/features/bigwet Now lets look at the forecast from the Gov climate center in 2003 http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead/archive/rainfall/20030115R.shtml no doubt about the prediction here ,one has to ask why are we wasting so much money on false predictions when its obvious they don't have a clue what they are talking about??
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:50am)
Christine Milne disgusts me. I am hoping my friend makes it out of Cairns this morning on a last flight and I then read this crap from the Greens. Opportunists is the word that comes to mind. While Queenslanders are running for their lives up here, the Greens are peddling this garbage. North and South Stradbroke were once one island and split in a huge cyclone in the 1800's, long before the Greens started bleating about climate change. This is not the time to be making political mileage out of this terrible unfolding tragedy. Shame, Greens, Shame!!!!!!
Wed 02 Feb 11 (06:55am)
Welcome back BoltA. You'll be pleased to know that a recent review concludes no evidence for increase in tropical cyclones at the global level:
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:05am)
global warming is a direct result of globalisation the future world government wants all people in the world 8billion in the one barrel and therefore no governments as we know them are to have business interests hence privatisation of all public assets with no exceptions, what will be easiest for the new world order is what they are all about should the farming nations as they have regulated fail then there will be world famine and disaster it is and will be a calamity for countries like Australia who have in the past been self sufficient the arab nations are in revolt over their way of life being disrupted by this very evil idea to make every human being a clone of each other.
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:06am)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (10:08am)
Hey Frank of Brisbane, have the floods damaged your punctuation?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (03:35pm)
Frank doesn't need punctuation, he has issues!
Check out the cyclone map http://www.rgsq.org.au/rgsqsite/19-147c.htm Shows it has always had them as we all know nothing unusual there . Its like this green morons, you haven't been right about anything and your predictions are even worse and no where near right ,like we said it is impossible to predict chaotic theory which is what climate is , the GOV 2003 predictions show your clearly wrong .
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:09am)
Funny thing is i don't hear Liberal pointing out the faulty and wrong predictions and the huge waste of money wasted on them ,prepare for droughts and get floods ,how stupid can you be?
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:12am)
The WMO said last year " we cannot at this time conclusively identify anthropogenic signals in past tropical cyclone data"
And global tropical cyclone activity is at 33 year lows.
(The links are in my comments on the Tips post.)
Wed 02 Feb 11 (07:14am)
Andrew, this is a good link.
Oh, and TC Yasi is now category 5. Going by this graphic, this monster of a storm has rain bands extending from Papua New Guinea to Fraser Island.

**Puts on elven robe and disguise and walks in**
Aiya Eareandil Elenion Ancalima my friends!
Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa, that all those of the Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes. For the Orcs had life and multiplied after the manner of the Children of Ilúvatar; and naught that had life of its own, nor the semblance of life, could ever Melkor make since his rebellion in the Ainulindalë before the Beginning: so say the wise. And deep in their dark hearts the Orcs loathed the Master whom they served in fear, the maker only of their misery. This it may be was the vilest deed of Melkor, and the most hateful to Ilúvatar. - from 'Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor', Chapter 3 of the 'Quenta Silmarillion' in The Silmarillion. (Page 47 in the 2002 Del Rey/Ballantine paperback edition.)

Nikon Coolpix 700 Review
|4 Previous
5 Operation
|6 Next
Top of camera controls
Top of camera we find several multi-function controls, from left to right (in record mode):
Picture mode:
Holding the button down and using the rear up/down arrows allows for exposure compensation +/-2EV in 0.3EV steps.
Switches between the four available picture qualities: HI (TIFF uncompressed), FINE (JPEG 1:4), NORMAL (JPEG 1:8) and BASIC (JPEG 1:16).
Auto anti-red eye, Forced on, Slow sync, Auto, Forced off
You'll note that below the last three buttons are play mode indicators, in play mode these buttons double-up as delete / thumbnail / zoom&select buttons. Top right you can see the main operating mode switch which changes between OFF, Auto REC, Manual REC and PLAY modes.
Rear of camera controls
The back of the camera is very simple, just four buttons.
Monitor: toggle the LCD between on & overlayed info, on & just picture, off.
Menu: enter / leave menu mode.
Up/down arrows: digital zoom / manual focus in record mode, next or previous picture in play mode and scroll through options in menus.
Play mode controls
Switching to Play mode instantly reviews the last shot taken, you then have various options as described below (all other functions are within the menu described on the next page).
As you can see by default the date and time, the folder name, filename, image quality and frame counter are displayed on the screen.
On the 700 there is no way to display the exposure information after the shot (on camera, you can of course do it later on your PC/Mac).
|Pressing the () button displays thumbnail mode where you can scroll through a whole page of thumbnails, differently on the 700 you have two levels of thumbnail, a 3x3 view seen here and also a 2x2 view.
|Zooming by pressing the ( ) button first gives you a 2x and pressing again a 3x zoom into the image, note on the 700 you can't scroll around the image when zoomed in.
You can also delete the current image by pressing () (Yes/No confirmation is displayed before deletion).

First I have to say that this is one of the mos undesirable people you have to work with, screams and insults people out loud and thinks she is the most beautiful girl leaving you on the floor. Well let me tell you you freak person, a normal person does not clip her toe nails in front of everyone in the place of work. A normal person eats with the mouth closed and specially woman, yes what you think you are, do not use tooth picks.
Since the day they hired Kimber she was already a problem. She plays with all men like she is the beauty queen and is flirting with everybody including us, women.
She came to the office all drugged and she tells everybody she smokes pot and it is ok. More than one time her eyes were red and she was laughing. Ask her friends and they will tell you, she is a pot head. She had very good luck the owners never saw because she will be in jail today.
The only thing I have to say is, do not work with this person and avoid a big problem because I hear that she is going against her old company for sexual harassment. That does not make sense, everybody there should hire a lawyer and go against her. I also know for a fact because I also worked with her, she steals money. She uses companies for service and asks to get a piece of the bill, just like a corrupt politician. I only heard the owners complaining about her and I think she was fired at the end because she did not do anything there but dress pretty and flirt with everything human there.
Again, do a background check and find out if this is not true, it is.

- 4th bowl: green food coloring
- 5th bowl: equal amounts of red and blue food coloring to make purple

.30 what a deal! .25 what a deal! .20 what a deal! .18 what a deal!LMFAO! Does it ever stop?
actually 10 cents would be a really good deal.lol! relax, take a chill pill, your not investing in it. sometimes i think to myself( by your posts) that you've got a 100 g tied up in this baby, be happy your with ford or whatever.good luck.
Idiots. Finally you all have your own thread, enjoy your party! Bunch a dam self proclaimed experts.
Its because he watched the news special about the old lady that bought 2 shares of stock in 1929 and held it for 75 years and got rich and wonders why he can do the same. Learn to trade Itoldu, I am making money on your 'bad deals'. At .50 it made a small jump before it fell, it did the same a few weeks ago when it was at .25. I bet it does it again from here.
Somebody had to say it. LMAO. Besides, management doesnt really care. They will just keep watering down the stock to get their paychecks and keep the doors open for another few months. No matter how bad it gets, Stoner and the board will all walk away with golden parachutes. BTW, where's Vett? We need an update on the short ratio to justify the coming rally up to $20!

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Wanted to speak to the president of credit card services, an Anthony Vuoto but they would not let me. Mary said she was speaking for the executives of the company. I asked for a lower interest rate and she refused. I have 2 accounts with them. The other acocunt is at 23.74%. They wouldn't even lower the one account to the other rate, which is rediculously high.
This is how they treat faithful customers. They are nothing but a ripoff. I pay my bill on time and always pay more than the minimum and this is the way they treat a customer.
Yet they will offer a "new" customer a rate of 9.9% yet won't offer a faithful customer anything close to that.
As far as I am concerned, they are a ripoff. They have no concern or business ethics and treat good customers like crap. I will never do business with them again and I would advise anyone to not do business with them.
They are a RIP-OFF

TOYOTA - Even in its hometown, the great carmaker has lost some of its mystique.
Rising out of the barren winter rice fields of central Japan, this city of 400,000 people is probably the most Toyota-friendly place on the planet.
Renamed after the company 51 years ago, it hosts the corporate headquarters as well as enormous factories and is beholden to the carmaker for tens of thousands of jobs and the bulk of its tax income.
Residents of Toyota say they, like the rest of the world, were surprised by the safety problems that have led to a mass recall of Toyota vehicles.
But it was the company's response that was more shocking - the global icon came across as dithering and unprepared.
"Maybe Toyota isn't any different from ordinary companies," said Akari Mizunaga, who works at a local trading company which depends on Toyota for much of its business.
As the company grew in the 1930s from its roots as a producer of mechanical looms, it has transformed a rural town into a thriving municipality.
Toyota dealerships are strung along the city's main street, and the carmaker's curly T logo is everywhere - on cars, signs and buildings.
"You can't really separate the town from the company," said Hideki Nagata, who works independently in auto repair. "And now there is this sense of - are we OK?"
None of the people interviewed in Toyota said they would hesitate to buy one of the company's vehicles in the future, and several said they thought the carmaker would now work harder to ensure quality. But there was a palpable disappointment in the way it had handled the safety concerns, almost as if let down by a relative.
Akio Toyoda, who took over the company in June, is a grandson of Toyota's founder and was seen as a charismatic choice who would lead it back from deep losses incurred during the global economic slump.
But the company's leader kept a low profile after Toyota announced a recall last month to fix defective gas pedals in a number of its mainline models that could cause sudden acceleration. Together with earlier recalls, that has covered over seven million cars in the US, Europe and China.
Toyoda was briefly cornered for an interview by a Japanese TV crew a week later in Switzerland, then finally gave a press conference on Saturday, which was widely panned by Japanese media as belated and unconvincing.
The company name is spelled and pronounced differently from the founding family name because Toyota is written in Japanese script with eight brush strokes, considered luckier than the 10 required for the family name.
Toyota's problems have even spread to the prized Prius hybrid after complaints in the United States and Japan about problems with its complex braking system. The quality issues threaten two of the company's core assets - its sterling reputation for reliability and safety, and its world-beating technology.
In the company museum at corporate headquarters - where the address is 1 Toyota Town - there is nothing subtle about the safety message.
Main exhibits are devoted to subjects like "Active Safety", "Passive Safety" and "Intelligent Safety". A large room in a prime location next to the entrance is devoted to the hybrid, with a dissected, flashing Prius demonstrating how it works.
Kazuhide Ueyama, 54, visited the museum at the weekend on a tour from his home in Osaka, about 160km away.
"This trip was planned before these problems came up, but everyone was talking about it on the bus over here," he said, referring to the recall woes.
"I have no doubt they will deal with the problems firmly, but it does raise some questions."
The city, 240km southwest of Tokyo, has suffered in the latest global downturn along with the company, which cut temporary workers at its Japan plants to 3000 at the end of last fiscal year from 9000 a year earlier.
Toyota sank to its first annual loss in nearly 60 years last fiscal year, and as the carmaker's tax payments fell the city's income also shrank.
The Toyota city government expects its corporate tax revenue to fall 96 per cent to 1.6 billion ($26 million) this fiscal year through March, down from 44.2 billion the previous year.
City officials don't release a breakdown of contributions by individual companies, but confirmed that Toyota's contribution is "well over" 50 per cent.
Local media reports have put the figure at 70 per cent.
The city has attempted to cover the shortfall by relying on cash reserves, tripling the amount of debt it issues, and postponing long-term projects.
Despite the loss, many point to the company's strong financial standing. Unlike competitors in the US, the company boasts solid finances - at the end of last year it said it had about US$24 billion ($35 billion) in cash and cash equivalents.
A report from investment research firm Morningstar after the gas pedal problems came to light called Toyota's balance sheet "fortress-like".
Last week Toyota said it would become profitable again in the current fiscal year through March, after earlier forecasting more deep losses.
It now expects a profit of 80 billion, versus an earlier projection for a 200 billion loss.
But that was without any potential costs from the latest Prius problems factored in.
Until the recent safety issues, the company was seen by some as more creditworthy than the Japanese Government. On Saturday, however, ratings agency Standard & Poor's put Toyota under review for a possible downgrade.
Jun Morikawa, who works at a company that transports car parts for Toyota, was among many who voiced concern about the recalls and the financial implications.
"The company just managed to get into the black, and now it looks like it might fall back into the red," he said.
For many Japanese, Toyota is a source of pride because of the legend of its success - from when its founders tore apart a Chrysler in 1933 to see how it worked, to the company eventually passing General Motors and becoming the No 1 carmaker in the world two years ago.
Now the fear in Toyota is that the company's recent stumbles could see it lose the top spot. "This is a chance for American companies like GM, who could catch up," said Ueyama.

Number Generator
Picking lotto numbers is a big responsibility - just a few clicks of an online form and you could have made the selection that brings you that huge, dream jackpot win.
Each set of numbers is as likely to come up in the winning line as any other, so there is no magic formula for guaranteeing that you will become a lottery millionaire. However, you can certainly increase your odds of maximising any prize that you do win. Most people will pick their lotto numbers based around dates of birthdays or anniversaries, which means that anyone choosing numbers over 31 will be less likely to have to share a prize with lots of other people if they end up winning a big prize.
The best way to select your potential winning line is to ensure that it is completely random, and this is where the Lotto Number Generator can help. It will pick up to ten lines for you which can be used to play some of the world's best-known and biggest-paying games like EuroMillions, Mega Millions, Powerball and SuperEnalotto.
For other lotto games, simply use the drop down boxes to generate the perfect line and visit the Lotto Tickets page to try those numbers out!

Republican Gregg Harper opened his campaign headquarters at 800 22nd Avenue Thursday.
Harper is an attorney from Rankin County. He said Meridian is vital to his campaign for Congress, and the state as a whole.
"We're committed to doing everything we can to help east Mississippi reach its full potential," said Harper. "We're very committed to making sure the interchange comes in at the industrial park; that's something that's just got to take place. "
Harper also said he wants to make sure health care remains a private business and is not taken over by the government. He said that will protect this area's vital health care industry.

The May 24 Commentary piece �Rise up , R.I., against executive salaries� explains how vast income inequality has led to the struggles of Rhode Island citizens to manage their debt and pay their bills. The article mentions a Senate Bill 2796 that would give preference to state contract work for those businesses that have a top-to-bottom pay ratio no greater than 32 to 1. This is a great first step that I hope gets passed.
Let�s make any reduction in corporate tax rates for businesses locating in Rhode Island contingent on the companies� agreeing to abide by the 32-1 pay ratio. That way we can encourage businesses that share the profits of success with their workforce to come here. Their workers would have more income to purchase goods and services, which ultimately fills the state coffers and promotes more hiring.
We don�t need more companies locating in the state with executive salaries several hundred times that of their workforce. We need ones willing to abide by a fair pay ratio that allows their workers to prosper.

the so called training was a farce, the so called leads most likely came from the internet yellow pages as all of them were nothing but business names & telephone numbers. when called the businesses said that they would appreciate it if i would cease calling. the available merchandise is not priced low enough to be feasable, most of which can be found at lower prices on the net. when checking out wta they used examples of the bargains available such as mr. coffee coffee makers for $10.00. when i gave them my money and was "being trained" i asked the"trainer" about the coffee makers and was told that was sometime in the past and not available at that time, the same holds true for canon copiers for $30.00.
i was had bad because i beleived these con people. i guarantee you that if i could turn back the hands of time i would be $69.00 better off.

Various: "Fast Food, Bright Lights" Top 5 Page for this destination Santorini Island Restaurant Tip by steventilly
Santorini Island Restaurants: 234 reviews and 498 photos
I'm hopeless with street names, especially in Greece, so I can't tell you what this street is called. What I can tell you is that it's part of the main road through Fira and is a bit along from the bus station. It's a hubbub of fast food joints, gyros & souvalaki shops, creperies and baked goods cafes, including such delights as The Toast Club and Goody's (Greece's answer to McDonalds). It's not everyone's cup of tea, but we love streets like this in every Greek island that we visit. We ate at one of the creperies one day, and walked along the street almost every night, enjoying the throngs of people and the bright neon lights. There should be something for everyone on a budget along here.
Directions: Near the bus station & taxi ranks.

I have a WordPress site and I need to modify some little problems in IE6 and I don't know why IE6 can't view my "IE6.css" file.
The file is stored correctly in the same folder as style.css and also the code is written well. The difference I saw is that, when I try to modify something from "IE6.css", it render only in other browsers than IE6 ! And this is strange!
Here is the code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<!--[if !IE 6]><!-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/IE6style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Low and behold, next bill came and late charge was charged AND they said my rate was increasing to 29.99% from 2.99 and 3.99 on previous balance transfers. Called AGAIN, spoke with Kammy on 1/23/09 at 10:00 a.m. She assured me all was ok and she credited back the $39 late charge and made sure interest rates were taken care of and would stay the same with no increase.
Low and behold AGAIN, bill comes 3rd time and they had increased my rate to 9.99%. I called on 2/18/09 at 8:15 p.m.and spoke to Nancy in Atlanta who said she could not help me, would have to speak to a supervisor. Spoke to Kinoi, supervisor who told me "too bad", it is what it is and that I'm "lucky it didn't go up to 29.99%" and he would not fix it. Said he didn't care who I had spoken to previously, there were no notes in my account and it was too bad what the other reps had told me. He refused to give me his last name and said the other reps had apparently given me fake extention numbers, said his was 4931. He refused to honor anything the other 2 reps had promised, so I closed my account.
This so-called bank flat out lied to me on 2 separate occassions to get me off the phone, and refuses to honor what their employees promised. Increasing your rate for economic conditions is one thing, but flat out lying to a customer on 2 separate occassions is another, and then a supervisor treating a customer like dirt is the ultimate. That's what I get for signing up with a low-life unknown bank.
