Global Warming has hit Perth

There could be some interesting weeks ahead. Maybe even a month cooler than average for the first time in over a year.

Interesting choice where to take the temperature...

So you are saying then that PJW is lying about where they took the temperatures from?

No.
You are incorrectly implying that to make it fit with your story.
I am saying he is a clown. lol.

So you are saying he is NOT lying but in your previous post you posted a pic showing if you believe the figures that he is lying.

This is getting complicated.

Taking temperature measurements near a power station is clearly not a very accurate way to measure the temperature but if you think so then i understand why you believe global warming is real.

I asked you previously do you think taking temperature measurements next to a power station gives an accurate measurement and so far you have refused to answer yes or no.

ok,so you are not prepared to answer a yes or no.

Others should take the time to read the comments.

I hate yes or no demands!
It's used a lot to spin answers and ignore context. The legal system is a prime example of this.

In this case it's assuming all temps displayed are very close to power stations.
A yes answer allows you to spin and misquote the answer, a no answer is obviously wrong.

So please stop demanding yes or no answers. it does nothing for rational debate.

Hey Pcd,

Are you prepared to answer yes or no to the question "did you believe what was said in that video without any thought or question" ?


Because there isn't a power station anywhere near that weather station. What is shown in the video is the "UKPN Histon Grid". You can find this quite easily on Google maps. It is an electrical substation, not a power station (unless it is a secret lizard person HAARP facility driven by 5G but disguised to look like an electrical substation just to fool us). And it is 150m away from the weather station.

The weather station is surrounded by fields of crops. Logic tells me that the ground level or close to ground level temperature is more closely driven by the state of the immediately surrounding paddocks (bare earth, lush wet green new sprouted crops, yellow dried stalks ready to harvest etc.) and the city of Cambridge immediately to the south as much as an electrical substation's residual heat loss 150m away.

In addition the substation is north east of the weather station. Prevailing wind direction is south west, with north east winds blowing in from the north sea and generally don't bring hot weather. So could you confirm the wind direction at the time of the temperature reading and if any heat generated from the substation would be blown towards or away from the weateher station ?. Wind strngth and direction would presumably be on the same weather station output the temperature reading was on.

Then again, I'd take a random guess there was an inversion, because that does usually drive hot weather in the UK, so probably very little wind ?
And from Google Earth images it does appear the substation was built, or at least significantly expanded sometime between March 2021 and March 2023.

Gotta love your optimism there Decrep, given we are on PcD's bizarro weather science thread and all.

An unfocussed radiant heat source (infra red) loses intensity as per the inverse square rule. That is, if you stand one meter away from a heat source, them move 4 metres away, the radiant heat will be 16 times less.
Air that is heated rises. Unless that air can be directed toward you, you get little benefit.
That is not to say harvesting thermal losses is not a good idea, it just needs to close coupled.

I ignore what the Temu ads serve me up most days, but this one caught my eye.

Eletric vehicles are a disaster for the environment.

Volvo just exposed the great electric vehicle scam - title.

I was watching a thing on dinosaurs with Stephen Fry hosting it. He mentioned that it was 10 degrees warmer in the age of the dinosaurs.

If we assume this is correct, and there were big plant eating animals roving around and big eaters of plant eaters also roaming around, I think we can also assume that there was plenty of vegetation. If there was plenty of vegetation then there was plenty of rain.

So what is the problem? Sure, there will be no icecaps, and no skiing by the sounds of it, but 10c sounds okay. My AC can cope with that ;-)

But it is interesting that even if the world is warmer, then rains clearly still happen.

Hey, forget about PM33. What about the dinosaurs? I am not sure what section they are mentioned in the bible, but its probably near the flat earth bit.

Alongside the unicorns and dragons?

Unicorns and dragons are too mainstream for PCDefender to believe in. If there were a conspiracy theory that they were hidden on an island in Scotland, he might start to believe it.
