I knew you’d resort to that.

Have you ever been?

I'd go too only I can't find my port, Douglas.

That was Hardy worth the effort.

No, it's a greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming and the principles of climate change.

Sorry meant trace gas.

I have a share in Qintex. If you’re fishing in Spain, can I come?

Sure. We'll find the biggest Wels Catfish we can and feed Fanbase to it

I was there when paying $18.00 for a hamburger was considered paying massive overs. Wouldn't go back.

Well someone had to stump up the cash for the bank. I mean your burger money still didn’t go to them but it’s the thought that counts

Meh, I didn't have to pay, I was on a work funded junket, like what those climate change delegates get.

Was Skase on a work funded junket?

Can I come?

I have a Quintrex centre console. We can go fishing

It's up to Strider tbh. He pulls the shots

Double Post.

What that tells us is the effects of greater precipitation aren't uniformly felt across the world, as far as we know, the systems that produce rain or drought have not changed in any fundamental way, so some places are getting more rain and some places are clearly not.

Except that there is significantly more green and blue than there is yellow, orange and red.

And importantly, significantly more dark blue than purple.

Oh, and btw...I noticed your nice, selective use of "clearly".

HJ getting the crayons out to prove a point...

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

I've never heard NASA referred to as a crayon before...

But a little breakdown of the above won't hurt...

Just because a part of the map does have yellow, orange or red doesn't mean they will go through endless droughts. Southeast Asia, for example, has the colours above but is also known for significant rainfall. There has just been a lessening of that rainfall and while that may have some implications, "OMFG!!! They're all going to die in a drought!!! Climate Change!!!" is not one of them.

The northern region of South America is the same.

But some places that are known for regular droughts do seem additionally exposed - the southern part of Africa and the Mediterranean are the obvious places on the map above.

However...Australia and North America have increased rainfall and more than make up for the SA/Med declines, especially since both places are known for droughts and so now have a reduced risk/occurence.

So, while Bandy's generic, meaningless point of "Precipitation isn't felt uniformly across the world" is valid (such insight there, Bandy. Why haven't you received the Nobel prize, yet?) it is, as I just stated, meaningless.

Of course changes in climate aren't felt uniformly across the world. We shouldn't be shocked to hear that.

But, overall, there is an increase in precipitation and, when looked at in more detail, the areas where there is less are fewer in number than those with more, and known drought affected areas have, on the whole, received increased precipitation rather than decreased.

So, my points are still correct - there is less drought, as per NASA and the EPA, and the current bushfires are not connected to "climate change", as per the IPCC.

ScoMo needs to stop pretending that we are doing our bit or face isolation.

Lol what a ludicrous policy
