[BITList] Truth of The Matter...

[FA]

John

All is not what it seems !.

especially when one thinks on the 1% that Australia adds to the worlds 
climate, and supposedly is going to make our weather magically change if 
we reduce our outputs to 0.75%

    *Truth of the matter .....*
    *Australia's hottest day?*
    cid:part1.DCB14916.4596BF1C at bigpond.net.au
    *Not 2010, BUT****_1828_****at a blistering****_53.9 °C_*
    *Back before man-made climate change was frying Australia, when CO_2
    ****was around 300ppm, ***
    *the continent savoured an ideal pre-industrial
    climate........***/*RIGHT?*/
    /*This is the kind of climate we are spending $10bn per annum to get
    back too..... Right again?*/
    *We are told today's climate has more records and more extremes than
    times gone by, but the few records we have*
    *from the early 1800's are eye-popping. *
    *Things were not just hotter, but so wildly hot it burst thermometers. *
    *The earliest temperature records we have show that Australia was a
    land of shocking heatwaves and droughts, ***
    *except for when it was bitterly cold or raging in flood.*
    /*In other words, nothing has changed, except possibly things might
    not be quite so hot now!*/
    *Silliggy (Lance Pidgeon) has been researching records from early
    explorers and from newspapers.***
    /*What he's uncovered is fascinating! It's as if history is being
    erased!*/
    *For all that we hear about recent record-breaking climate extremes,
    records that are equally extreme***
    *and sometimes even more so, are ignored.*
    *In January 1896 a savage blast "like a furnace" stretched across
    Australia from east to west and lasted for weeks.***
    /*The death toll reached 437 people in the eastern states.*/*//*
    *Newspaper reports showed that in Bourke the heat approached 120°F
    (48.9°C) on three days.***

    /*The maximum at or above 102 degrees F (38.9°C) for 24 days straight!*/
    *Use the several links below to read the news reports at the time
    for yourself ......*
    *1.******By Tuesday Jan 14, people were reported**falling dead
    <http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44132389?zoomLevel=5>****in
    the streets.*
    *2.******Unable to sleep, people in Brewarrina walked the streets at
    night for hours, thermometers recorded*
    *109F at/////midnight/
    <http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44159099?zoomLevel=5>**.*
    *3.******Overnight, the temperature did not fall below 103°F.***
    *4.******On Jan 18 in Wilcannia, five deaths were recorded in one
    day, the**hospitals were overcrowded
    <http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14033576?zoomLevel=5>*****
    ***and reports said that***/*"more deaths are hourly expected"*/*. *
    *5.******By January 24, in Bourke, many**businesses had shut down
    <http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/75263800?>****(almost
    everything bar the hotels)**.***
    *6.******Panic stricken
    <http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/8888573?zoomLevel=6>****Australians
    were**fleeing to the
    hills<http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/79288908?zoomLevel=5>**in
    climate refugee trains. ***

    *As reported at the time, the government felt the situation was so
    serious that to save lives and ease the suffering of its citizens
    they added cheaper train services:*
    *What I found most interesting about this was the skill, dedication
    and length of meteorological data taken in the 1800′s. When our
    climate is "the most important moral challenge" why is it there is
    so little interest in our longest and oldest data?*
    *Who knew that one of the most meticulous and detailed temperature
    records in the world from the 1800′s comes from Adelaide, largely
    thanks to Sir Charles Todd.***
    *The West Terrace site in Adelaide was one of the best in the world
    at the time, and provides accurate historic temperatures from
    "Australia's first****permanent weather bureau*
    <http://www.rahs.org.au/history-resources/the-first-weather-bureau/>*at
    Adelaide in 1856″.***
    *Rainfall records even appear to go as far back as 1839.  Lance
    Pidgeon went delving into the National Archives and was surprised at
    what he found.*
    /*The media are in overdrive, making out that "the extreme heat is
    the new normal" in Australia.*/
    *The Great Australian Heatwave of January 2013 didn't push the
    mercury above 50C at any weather station in Australia, yet it's been
    50C (122F) and hotter in many inland towns across Australia over the
    past century.*
    *See how many are in the late 1800′s and early to mid 1900′s.*
    *You can't blame those high records on man-made global warming!*
