The news yesterday prompted me to plot a new chart of GNS earthquake activity going back to Darfield – repeated patterns jump out that I will talk about later.

Wind power is useless across Australia today
Scanning news headlines I discovered that the fault in the BASSLINK cable has not been found yet so there will be delays to the repairs timetable requiring the Tasmanian Govt to order 200 diesel generators. Upshot is the cable repair ship has not pinned down the fault location yet. Anyway – that nudged me to check NEMWATCH for the first time this month and the result at 4pm AEST 12 Feb 2016 is below.
Wind across Australia generating only 470MW. Wisconsin ginseng or any other type for that matter is a perennial herb. order levitra Strength, power and stamina of the male body get improved using orden 50mg viagra this capsule. How established is the business? Given that the best viagra in india deeprootsmag.org/2014/04/16/updike-easter-2014/ FDA approval of laser hair therapy came in 2007, many salons and studios using the technology are new to it. Most of all these can be easily grabbed without revealing your identity deeprootsmag.org cheap sildenafil uk through online medicinal stores. How has this taxpayer subsidised economic monstrosity been foisted on Australia and continues to be expanded? Answer is a combination of – Green Lies – GreenLeft media – gullible politicians – voter apathy. There are many days when wind generation is very poor.
So who gave the CFMEU $847,000
This is a weird story uncovered by ABC researchers but now that we know the Tasmanian businesswoman Wendy Kennedy did not give the $847,000 to the CFMEU – the CFMEU is not saying where the money came from. And it is a story vanished into history by the main stream media now.
Perth 4 days over 40°C heatwave nothing out of the ordinary for Perth heatwaves
We have all seen the media beat ups about the “Great Four day Perth heatwave 7th to 10th Feb 2016” – never a mention that that the ever expanding Perth urban heat island UHI might contribute to this event. Credit where credit is due though, the original BoM forecast was pretty good. Unlike their Brisbane and Queensland efforts this year.
Check out the statistics assembled by Chris Gillham in Perth – his website has much information on WA and Perth climate matters. Interesting that Perth Airport temperature data shows the “Great Four day Perth heatwave 7th to 10th Feb 2016” was exceeded by several past events at that site.
High-altitude water vapour, critical for Greenhouse, is not well measured
New paper – The Forgotten Water Vapor at High Altitudes – Scientists find that estimations of high-altitude atmospheric water, critical for the greenhouse effect, are not as accurate as previously thought.

Read the review by Emeritus Professor Peter G Flood PhD (Qld), MAusIMM, IEM (Harvard) – let me know of any other reviews.
Two years ago I reported UAH satellites were reading too warm at times over Australia
From Dec 2013 – Warming departure in UAH lower troposphere satellite temperatures compared to RSS over the period 2005-2006 – I emailed UAH at the time and their responses are in the link. Now Their beta V6.0 warms much more that V5.6 over Australia – go figure. Data from KNMI using the Australia mask. Both UAH versions warm more that the BoM ACORN data while RSS does not see that extent of warming.
The trends by Excel for the 37 years 1979-2015 are –
RSS = 0.26
BoM ACORN = 0.49
UAH V5.6 = 0.58
UAH v6.0 beta = 0.88
Now of course the warmistas at The Conversation are dining out on this. Ignoring RSS.

Another exaggerated BoM Brisbane heat forecast – turns out a one day wonder
What is it with the BoM – so Brisbane has a humid and hot day last Tuesday – for heavens sake it is February – the ABC screams – Brisbane weather: Heat and humidity land six high school students in hospital – But then against the thrust of quotes from the BoM Wednesday dropped to 34.1 so the “searing heat” lasted one day –
and BoM has not yet worked out what it was Thursday – how is that possible? – Too busy yakking on phone to media? Working out their redundancies?
Bureau of Meteorology to axe staff from all regional stations except Cairns
Friday was said to be 29 and it turned out 27 – the record for a February day is over 41. Last month a similar exaggeration. BoM crying wolf again about heatwave in Queensland – turns out total flop – again
