Global Warming has hit Perth

Yes, you are correct. I'm happy you now realise that I don't draw trend lines by eye as you suggested.

Now do the same for Perth with the switch over in 1947 (I think).

As you would know, when the west coast trough forms, Perth swelters and Albany is windy and cold.

So to my thinking, more very hot days in Perth over summer, results in more cold days at Albany.

Australian climate extremes in the 21st century according to a regional climate model ensemble: Implications for health and agriculture
N. Herold, M. Ekstr?m, J. Kala, J. Goldie, P. Evans

Heatwave frequency, number and duration will increase significantly in the near and far future, with greater increases in the north than south. All capital cities will experience at minimum a tripling of heatwave days each year by the far future compared to the recent past. For example, the number of heatwave days in Sydney each year will increase from 5.5 in the recent past to 23 in the far future. Implications for mortality are also severe, with projected future climates leading to increases in mortality due to high temperatures in all examined capital cities. The number of days at or above 30??C in the major wheat growing regions will also increase substantially, particularly during spring when wheat is most vulnerable to temperature. Projected decreases in precipitation would decrease the likelihood of meeting historical production levels. Australian national wheat yields will have less than a one quarter chance of exceeding the annual historical average under projected far future precipitation change. Though this does not take into account the increases in heat stress, decreases in frost damage, increases in CO2 fertilization and acclimatisation that would also occur under a future climate.

Using Multivariate Time Series to Estimate Location and Climate Change Effects on Historical Temperatures Employed in Future Electricity Demand Simulation

Ross S. Bowden and Brenton R. Clarke

Long-term historical daily temperatures are used in electricity forecasting to simulate the probability distribution of future demand but can be affected by changes in recording site and climate. This paper presents a method of adjusting for the effect of these changes on daily maximum and minimum temperatures. The adjustment technique accommodates the autocorrelated and bivariate nature of the temperature data which has not previously been employed. The data is from Perth, Western Australia, the main electricity demand centre for the South-West (of Western Australia) Interconnected System. The statistical modelling involves a multivariate extension of the univariate time series "interleaving method", which allows fully efficient simultaneous estimation of the parameters of replicated VARMA processes. Temperatures at the most recent weather recording location in Perth are shown to be significantly lower compared to previous sites. There is also evidence of long-term heating due to climate change especially for minimum temperatures.

Climate change deniers use projection to tell others to "follow the money". Apparently they believe this leads to fat cat scientists. However...Climate denier biggest anti-Voice funder
ANTHONY KLAN

A notorious climate denier with deep ties to US-style dark money outfit the "Institute of Public Affairs" was the biggest funder of the "No" campaign against the Indigenous Voice in the six months before the referendum.

The next biggest funders - who tied with multi-millionaire Simon Fenwick and tipped in $500,000 - were mega-rich Melbourne pair Anne Neate and Richard Harbig, who inherited a family property empire.

Figures released yesterday by the Australian Electoral Commission show "The B Macfie Family Foundation" made eight donations of $100,000 each to "Australians for Unity", the charity arm of "No" campaign group Advance.

Bryant Macfie himself made a further $100,000 donation, taking the total to $900,000.

Macfie, a Perth-based medical doctor and "honorary life member" of the "IPA", made headlines in 2008 when he channelled $350,000 via the IPA to the University of Queensland for "climate research".

In launching the funding Macfie likened "climate activism" to a new religion, declaring "the crucifix has been replaced by the wind turbine".

"The crucifix has been replaced by the wind turbine" - Bryant Macfie

Macfie is one of just three "honorary life members" of the IPA, along with mining billionaire Gina Rinehart.

As previously revealed by The Klaxon, the "No" campaign was deeply tied to the fossil fuels and mining sector.

Advance, the main No campaign group, operates a climate denial and anti-renewables arm called "Not Zero".

The Voice would have given Indigenous Australians a centralised and more prominent say in public affairs, although government would not have been required to follow any of its recommendations.

Internationally, one of the biggest impediments to fossil fuels expansion - and so profits - has been Indigenous land rights.

"One of the biggest impediments to fossil fuels expansion globally has been Indigenous land rights"

Fossil fuels executives, behind closed doors, discuss "black tape" as a "risk" and potential impediment to profit.

The IPA is central to Australia's climate denial movement. It refuses to say who funds it but in 2018 - as a result of court action - it was revealed Rinehart gave it $4.5m between 2016 and 2017, more than one-third of its income over the period.

Fund manager Fenwick, who gave $500,000 in the six-month period in two payments, is one of the IPA's directors.

Advance's "Not Zero" site provides a "fact sheet" - which has been written by Advance and the IPA.

"They call it 'Net Zero'.but there is a cost.and you'll be the now who'll pay," says the site, which is riddled with climate disinformation.

"Get the facts. This is what the climate elites don't want you to know".

Roy Spencer will be busy explaining away his own graph."Latest Global Average Tropospheric Temperatures - Since 1979, NOAA satellites have been carrying instruments which measure the natural microwave thermal emissions from oxygen in the atmosphere. The intensity of the signals these microwave radiometers measure at different microwave frequencies is directly proportional to the temperature of different, deep layers of the atmosphere."
