Still waiting for that warming:
"SYDNEYSIDERS are repacking their winter woollies after the coldest October
in 17 years."
UPDATE
Didn't Al Gore warn that warming was making huricanes and cyclones worse?
Instead:
"Global and Northern Hemisphere Tropical Cyclone Activity remains near
30-year historical lows "
But think Gore can give up this iconic scare of his, even when the facts so
clearly contradict him? Check the cover of his new book:
UPDATE
Good weather for ducks and denialists in New Zealand, too:
"New Zealand has coldest October in over 25 years "
Polar bears may find a new home in Beijing:
"this is the first time that Beijing is swept by cold snap in October since
the 1970s"
Skiers around the world are even happier:
"With Kitzbuhel's earliest ever opening in Austria over the weekend,
following the Planai above Schladming the week before that, as well as seven
glaciers areas to choose from, Austria continues to offer the biggest choice
of skiing in the Alps. The heavy snowfall there last week has set up some
great conditions..
The Pyrenees received some of the best snow in decades at many resorts last
winter, and it all began in autumn last year, so the region is hoping for a
repeat of winter 08-09....
In Western Canada the Canada Olympic Park near Calgary in Alberta is already
open and resorts across Alberta and British Columbia have been reporting
heavy snowfalls ahead of planned opening dates in the next few weeks. ""
Meanwhile, down in Denver:
"The average October temperature through yesterday was 43.3 degrees. That
puts it in a tie for the second coldest October in Denver on record. "
And up in Michigan:
"it's the coldest October in northern Michigan since 1952"
Farmers in Illinois now wish for warming:
"A combination of the coldest summer since record-keeping began in 1900, as
well as a number of months of record rainfalls have kept farmers out of the
fields. "
UPDATE
We may be in for chillier times very soon, on the evidence of the oxygen
isotopes:
UPDATE
Odd that our country towns aren't warming, but the concrete cities are.

UPDATE
Didn't Tim Flannery warn that Sydney could run out of water by 2007? Check
the month of rain that's forecast, with storages already 57 per cent full.

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
