The latest BS from Climatard HQ

Hydroclimate whiplash – a term for the phenomenon of savage seasonal swings between catastrophic rain and sapping drought – is increasing, fast.

WTF???

Ever desparate to insert the planet is boiling or whatever is the latest religion to garner more $$$$ that BS takes the cake.

Driven by an atmosphere stoked hotter by the burning of fossil fuels, the whiplash is amplifying flash-floods, wildfires, landslides and disease outbreaks

Absolute BS!

Meanwhile, some current takeaways from Kalifornia:

Take a closer look at the pictures of the 'burbs.  A number of metal and concrete tile roofed properties appear to have survived.  The ones that incinerated more than likely had typically constructed to code tar soaked asphalt shingles on plywood with open eaves all tinder dry awaiting an ignition source.  Change the building code to outlaw such construction.  (maybe that's why the dingos across the ditch favour metal roofed sheds, on concrete slabs without eaves, in bushfire regions)

We've moved into a La Nina (or is it the other one? - can never remember).  Anyway the general theme is that the western Pacific / Indian / Atlantic Oceans will get all the rain for the next few years.  Hence the eastern sides of those same water bodies are in a prolonged drought.  Somewhere within the next nine years it will cyclically reverse and the opposite will occur where eastern Africa is as usual drought ravaged.

As for the downpours - anyone remember that undersea volcano that dumped half the Pacific into the upper atmosphere a couple of weekends or so ago.  Well all that water has to eventually come down.  It was well predicted to be an issue for 2-5 years!

Climatards, life goes on.  The source of our climate will rise tomorrow morning and all will be well.  You'll get your daily dose of cosmic radiation to keep you cosy as the heat of the fires fades without fuel load, albeit reduced by a big cloud of Sulphur Dioxide in parts of Kalifornia.  You're maybe good for another 30 years or so.

Not one dollar of mine or yours will change what that big yellow nuclear fusion reactor in the sky does to our puny planet.  After all this planet has endured 4,500 million years without any adverse effects.
