'Once in a lifetime' snow storm hits New Zealand - Telegraph

A "once in a lifetime" polar blast of snow, sleet and gales has blocked roads, grounded flights and cut power across New Zealand.
...
Blizzards lashing the South Island moved on to the more populated North Island, with falls in central Wellington and southern suburbs of Auckland where snow had not been seen since the mid-1970s.

So, these two bureacracies I’ve never heard of before, are going to have the power to regulate electricity to our homes? Yeah, that’s what we want. More government intrusion into our lives.

Notice, they’re going to restrict our energy use when we need it most, during “extremely cold nights and exceptionally hot days”. Did they consider that they may put people at risk, particulary the elderly? What a pitiful excuse too, so we don’t need more power plants.

C3: Objective Analysis of Ocean Warming Determines IPCC Climate Models' Prediction 2x Too High

Using actual ocean warming records and comparing those to IPCC climate models was recently accomplished. The purpose of doing so was to determine if model(s) sensitivity would produce predicted warming that matched the actual warming. The determination from the analysis was that the models robustly overestimated ocean warming versus actual - 3.0°C vs 1.3°C.
