Read The Pause in the Stratosphere by Steven Capozzola – an interesting mechanism to explain the much vilified temperature pause in the troposphere. RSS temperature timeseries show what Steven Capozzola is talking about.
The TLT trend shows the temperature pause in the lower troposphere with crystal clarity. While the TLS trend shows the cooling trend halted from ~late 1990’s onwards.
This chart from report 56 at this WMO page shows how global stratospheric ozone levels have bounced since the 1990’s.

Ranger uranium mine to close – should Governments pass laws enabling Jabiluka to open?
The AFR view of the story – Rio Tinto signs Ranger uranium mine death warrant – so as things stand uranium production in the Northern Territory will run down and pretty much end about 2020. This table is from a decade ago but the grade and size of Jabiluka still puts it in the same place in the list.
The development of this orebody would be good for the nation. If you or I owned property wanted for a new road or Govt purpose it would eventually be resumed if we refused to sell. Hence my question – should Governments pass laws enabling Jabiluka to open? I have held a view for years that the Ranger site is too small for the operations they require.

Six short videos highlight deficiencies in Australian Bureau of Meteorology maps
Lance Pidgeon has produced these “screenshot” Youtube videos where he takes apart BoM maps – enjoy. Daft junk maps from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. This first video shows just how basic simple, obvious and indefensible some of the mistakes are. If you ever wondered about the climate data you see from the Aussie Government websites adding up? Primary school math is all you need to see it sometimes does not! Part 1 takes you back to the November 1925 maximum anomaly map which has a prominent peak bullseye anomaly in western South Australia – but the daily max anomaly maps show no sign of this as you click through from the 1st to the 30th. Obviously the BoM data behind these maps is not worth a cupful of warm spit. Enjoy Lance’s video. Part 1 — Part 2 begins to show how the errors seen in part one are not a one off but that the old temperature data maps are riddled with silly errors.Part2 — Part 3 — Part 3 Looks at claims about the QA process and how it has failed. Part 3 also shows the problems are not confined to just one part of the country.Part4 — Part 4 Road tests two claims from the BoM. One about estimation in data sparse areas and one about copying off some one who looks like they know what they are doing (using worlds best practice).Part 5 — Part 5 After the problems caused by data sparseness in the previous video looks at an example of missing data. It becomes obvious that missing old records have a perversion effect that the BoM is aware of but does not seem to have spent enough effort fixing.Part 6. Part 6 looks at a mystery annual square wave pattern of monthy steps in cycles that create fake colour data on the maps instead of a grey or no data indication . The square waves seem to have infected nearly all of the ACORN numerology.
Is the Australian Bureau of Meteorology admitting to an urban heat island in Canberra ?
Ponder these quotes from the BoM to the ABC –
[Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Sean Carson said temperature lows seen this week, along with last August’s extreme run of lows only occurred once a decade.
“August last year saw a pretty impressive run of overnight lows, where we saw eight consecutives nights below -5C, with the lowest night in that sequence getting all the way down to -8C,” he said.
“But prior to that it is probably something we only see every 10 to 15 years where we get such cold minimums.”
Mr Carson said this “impressive” run of temperatures was more common in the 1970s.
“It used to be fairly regular before the 1970s, before we saw a lot of development across Canberra, which did give Canberra a little bit of heat coming from industry,” he said.]
So is the non-urban classification for the Canberra Airport BoM station up for review?

Australian Bureau of Meteorology turning semantic cartwheels to avoid saying Canberra is experiencing a record run of cold nights
Really strange misinformation – the facts are very simple – Canberra is having a record run of cold nights for this early in June. Yet today the ABC reports – Canberra’s extreme run of overnight lows ‘only seen every 10 to 15 years’ – What is the BoM smoking. Yesterday the Canberra Times quotes the BoM to write – Canberra weather: Cold, frosty mornings to continue before a warm long weekend – Same style of obfuscation – avoid admitting a record at all costs. The Fairfax article confuses Monday and Tuesday – talks of warm weather to come. And there is this odd mention of last August that has nothing to do with anything. Weird mention of “every 10 to 15 years” – no it is the coldest run of nights this early in June for 76 years!!! Then they throw in El Nino to appear all-wise. And our national policy is affected by the org generating this evasive twaddle.
Here is a Table of sorted June minimums for Canberra down past minus 5.1. The record to break is – Tuesday the 2nd -7.0, Wednesday the 3rd -5.1, Thursday the 4th -6.9, all time record run of cold minimums this early in June. Case closed.
Similarities between the FIFA disaster and UN IPCC aims to redistribute wealth to the Third World through schemes to reduce carbon dioxide
Yesterday I posted this map showing nations who voted for FIFA President Sepp Blatter – and those who did not.
Now so soon after being elected Sepp says he is stepping down – sooner the better – surely FIFA must be put down and replaced by a new and very different org.
I was easily able to find this map showing a sort of “corruption index” for nations.
Even The Guardian says “for years the carbon market has been riddled with corruption.”
Circle closed.
Are readers checking how the much prophesized El Nino is travelling ?
Remember on 12th May 2015 the Bureau of Meteorology BoM suddenly called an El Nino as being on for 2015. I thought at the time it was a sudden jumping on board the El Nino express for the BoM in the wake of NOAA’s earlier determination to have an El Nino. We have heard various newsmakers and groups Cut open the sachet and squeeze out the content in your mouth. Ashwagandha roots when used regularly helps to improve tadalafil pharmacy online the capacity to hold longer.

Anyway – take a look at the SOI – which has been rising since 26th May. And am I seeing easterly winds here.
Lets just say it is a sputtering start if a real El Nino is to develop.
I am not predicting anything – just pointing out real world data –

Canberra just smashes coldest night record for this early in June – 75 years of data from 1939
At least -6.5°C this morning – we will see official figure later – In 1987 both the 1st and 2nd June read -5.1 which was the previous record. In the face of the growing Canberra urban heat island UHI.
