Cold, Cold, Cold! We're All A-Frozen In Australia:
April 28, 2008
http://timblair.net/ee/index.php/weblog/maybe_earth_hour_caused_it/
.. "Record-breaking early snow has fallen across NSW, just days after
Sydney's longest period of rain in 23 years."
.. "Temperatures at Thredbo dropped to -4C and in Perisher to -2C, the
coldest April days in the mountains for 30 years."
.. "Strathalbyn, south of Adelaide, had its coldest April night in more
than a century ..."
.. "The city of Orange in central west New South Wales is experiencing
possibly its coldest April day on record."
.. "Woomera had its coldest April morning in 60 years of records ..."
It'll be a cold day in hell before Cardinal George Pell buys into any
warmening nonsense.
We're almost as cold in Australia as was the US last year.
Here's SMH enviro reporter Ben Cubby's analysis:
Something strange is happening to our weather.
Damn straight, Ben. It isn't following warmther predictions.
UPDATE:
.. "Temperatures fell by as much as 14 degrees below the April average in
parts of southern Queensland this morning on the coldest recorded day of
the year so far ..."
.. "Mt Hotham has just broken the all-time record for the coldest April
day (Monday 28th April) ever in Victoria ..."
.. "It's raining here today, and there is snow on the hills surrounding
Melbourne. It was the coldest April day ever recorded in part of the
state."
.. "Yesterday was the coldest April day in Sydney for 50 years ..."
.. "The coldest April day in our district EVER according to tonight's
news."

"If scientists say they are 100% sure, or that they are absolutely
certain about the cause and effect and ignore variables which might show
that they could be wrong, they are practicing junk science. Junk science
happens when scientists believe something based on just some of what
they see." |

plenty of snow on Thredbo should compensate s e Australia for its lack
of rain. |

Aha, the old Santa Ana winds!
They haven't historically been called "The Devil's Breath" for

The 1910 Fire
By Jim Petersen
Evergreen Magazine, Winter Edition 1994-1995
http://www.idahoforests.org/fires.htm
It was the largest forest fire in American history. Maybe even the
largest forest fire ever. No one knows for sure, but even now, it is
hard to put into words what it did.
For two terrifying days and night's - August 20 and 21, 1910 - the fire
raged across three million acres of virgin timberland in northern Idaho
and western Montana.
Many thought the world would end, and for 86, it did.
Most of what was destroyed fell to hurricane-force winds that turned the
fire into a blowtorch. Re-constructing what happened leads to an almost
impossible conclusion: Most of the cremation occurred in a six-hour
period.
A forester named Edward Stahl wrote of flames shooting hundreds of feet
in the air, "fanned by a tornadic wind so violent that the flames
flattened out ahead, swooping to earth in great darting curves, truly a
veritable red demon from hell."
Among the 86 who perished were 28 or 29 men - no one knows for sure -
who tried to outrun their fate in a straight upstraight down canyon
called Storm Creek.
Two men too terrified to face death took their own lives. One jumped
from a burning train and the other shot himself when he feared an
approaching fire would overtake him. Two fire fighters fled into flames
before the very eyes of horrified comrades huddled in a nearby stream.
Hundreds more survived, many by the grace of God. Ranger Edward Pulaski,
who became a hero at a place called the War Eagle Mine, led men with
prayers on their lips through a pitch-black darkness punctuated by
exploding trees and waves of flames that arced across the night sky.
Perhaps, Edward Stahl would later say, "the men thought the small fires
flickering dimly in the darkness were candles burning for the dead."
"The fire turned trees and men into weird torches that exploded like
Roman candles," one survivor told a newspaper reporter.

"There is no compelling evidence that carbon dioxide has any significant
control over the direction of global temperature and climate. The
processes that regulate the interannual to decadal fluctuations of
climate are poorly understood and, as yet, unpredictable" William
