Fraser Island fire caused by “stupendous heatwave”

Our ABC reporting a bushfire expert. The Fraser Island fire burnt for ~60 days after a campfire on 14 Oct was not put out. ABC says quote [Bowman points to the K’gari-Fraser Island blaze, which burnt through nearly half the World Heritage-listed site before being contained by heavy rain.
The problem, he says, is “the lining up of the heatwaves and the flooding events”.
“Unfortunately, what happened in south-east Queensland is that there was this stupendous heatwave that enabled a fire to occur during a La Nina year,” he says, adding: “We wouldn’t have predicted such an intense fire”.

China walks on Australian toes in Torres Strait

My headline could have said “aided n abetted by PNG” – So PNG is allowing China to build a fishing port on Daru Island and deploy Sino fishing fleets there. Wow what a kick-in-the-face from PNG to Australia – and releasing the news at Christmas. Here is a map of various marine zones in Torres Strait from this source.

Academics think brackish water harming dolphins

Dolphins (like whales) ancestors originally evolved from land animals around the Eocene around 50million years ago the Eocene was considerable warmer than present times see 65 Myr Climate Change chart. Both charts are from Wiki.

Dolphins in the modern form are known in the fossil record from over 12 million years ago and have survived periods warmer than now plus multiple ice ages with attendant sudden climate shifts we could not imagine.

The ABC has this article – Burrunan dolphin deaths linked to Fresh Water Skin Disease caused by climate change – I marvel at the “scientific” conclusions behind this article. One thing certain is that a population as small as numbers quoted is at risk of dying out regardless of changes in rainfall.

Climate and the IPCC by Peter F Gill a UK physicist

Back in 2015 I posted links to a series of articles by Peter F Gill in a local UK newspaper.
These links subsequently became unavailable. However Peter has provided the articles for me to post so here are six pdf’s. The first is 15 pages the rest are a few pages each.
