General Global Warming

[wizards rage]

Hopefully you are okay wiz.
What percentage of flys do you have today versus the average number of people who are living in your home as opposed to your immediate area less the people who have one leg 🦵

Im good John. 0 flies today / 0 yesterday yesterday is still 0 mate 🎉

If anyone had 1 leg they would be jealous of the amount of legs a fly has so it’s best we don’t have any new flies 😉

 

[Damo]

Because it’s deaths per million CASES not population.

No more comments from me… I give up

It’s not even a covid thread 🤣

Haven't we only had 2M cases? The data from your link pointed at Deaths / 1M pop which is what I thought you were talking about as it also = 772. Apologies if not.

 

[Juju]

Death’s per million:

World: 868.5 deaths per million
NZ: 772 dpm
Australia: 722 dpm

Worldometer is is a joke.

You talked a whole bunch of shit throughout the whole of the pandemic & continue to do so.
Lame.

That's great news mate just trying to keep it simple for you 👍

Storms in NSW, yeah ok that is not news, snow in victoria...yep that is news this time of year, heatwaves in Queensland.

Media still describing these as extreme weather events, I wonder how long the use of extreme as a way to describe global warming will last?

At some stage it will be the new normal. Feels like we are closer.

Good news. I must say that last summer was the worst I have felt from the sun. Not the heat so much but you could feel the radiation,.if that makes sense. Hasn't been much of an issue so far this year with the overcast conditions. Humidity on some days has been the worst though

This one was quite easy to sort out hey.

BAN CFCs and we don't all die.

The hole repaired itself a lot quicker than early projections, rather than taking centuries. I remember first reading about it in NAT GEO as a kid.

Global warming on the other hand may not even be us alone hey, but it certainly is whatever plus us on top...a simple idea lots of people have trouble adding one plus one...they think that the earth going through a natural warming cycle plus our crap on top won't put us at a level of risk that we have never had to deal with before.

You forgot to factor in whether they are dog or cat people

The last three or four days down here in Dunedin and Mosgiel where I live, have been really really really hot. All 4 days have been in the 30 degree heat range. Yesterday was so unbearable.

I lived in Alexandra for about 9 years, in my teenage years and that's hot, so Dunedin has now become like a mini Alexandra with it's heat.

A year or two ago it used to rain a lot in summer, and we often got mid 20's but this year, and especially yesterday it's quite unnerving.

So muggy that I couldn't sleep much last night.

We are due for rain today, so hopefully that'll cool things down.

Floods in Fiji eh...extreme weather event apparently one death 4000 evacuated.

The Qld heatwave was not a case of uncommonly hot but really bad humidity.
But the heat nothing unusual.
I left South East Qld yesterday after being whacked all week and down to Melbourne for a few days. For an expat kiwi it is a much more pleasant 19 degrees. But again nothing unusual in Melbourne where you get crazy temperature fluctuations week to week.

I think humans have over developed this planet and we are going to pay a price. The neo con methods of govt and deregulation and tax cuts reducing govco ability to do things all virtually continuous since the 1980 s are coming home to roost.

Both sides of the debate agree on this chart. But they disagree on the analysis.

Make of that what you will.

I can't read that unfortunately, two reasons, eyesight and lack of knowledge around graphs.

However if I understand what I am looking at the temperature is suddenly vertical.

I do have a rudimentary understanding of the arguments for global warming however, and understand the cause and significance is what is debated.

As we wait for the predicted severe Cyclone Gabrielle, yet again we are told this is a significant within a century time span, it is a big storm.

I trust what I see with my own eyes, I see the media have moved from pandemics to Weather headlining.

As with the pandemic, at some stage the Media will lose interest.

I would not say they are overstating the risk or dramatizing it, because our country and largest city is sitting vulnerable after the shock flash floods that killed people and continue to see stuff fall off cliffs.

It is a strange time. Before Covid we had countless false alarms (I use that term false loosely, I have no problem with alarms they serve to prepare people, and I tend to be happy when they don't come to the worst).

But we had bird and swine flu, we had SARS 1 etc. Then the big one did hit.

With the weather, we have had hundreds of false alarms, then a big one hit recently, now we wait for more hits...indeed it is a strange time...doing some sand bagging tomorrow, I gotta say that is new for me....

Fist of all, this century is only 23 years and cyclone Bola in 1988 was a category 4 cyclone...this version is category 3...

and many people would not remember a cyclone that hit Kerikeri in 1981, It wiped out whole houses, with their occupants and headed them down river towards Chile.

However I was in the East Coast Bays this morning, and the seas were very ugly even then. Heyzeuss knows what Muriwai and Piha are like. So the storm surge might be the issue this time.

Interesting seeing what naturally occurring weather cycles deliver. Bola was a monster.

Up in the north Waikato and the wind is cranking. Squally rain but the wind is strong.

I think the evidence is this is man made. Wanna know more?

Nope, tropical cyclones are a naturally occurring event.

Not with the amount we are getting. Just ask any insurance company.

Insurance companies are in the business of making money. This means reducing the risk of paying out. They will use anything to avoid this, including act of god.
