Australia's shivering start to August | Australian Climate Madness

It's all meaningless of course, it's just weather after all.But you don't hear the mainstream media, or Tim Flannery, or Clive Hamilton or David Karoly or Will Steffen, all rushing to bleat that this is evidence that "global warming" has slowed, or that such weather "is not consistent" with global warming models.

Whereas, if it was a heatwave on the other hand, as we will no doubt get come summer, all the above will be whining on about how it was "entirely consistent with" projections for climate change.

That's the great thing about double standards and unfalsifiable hypotheses, right lads?

Major Australian dailies disappear the Muller “conversion” article: Opps. 404 error! « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax

those articles are disappearing down the memory hole. Presumably neither newspaper is proud of having been fooled by Muller — the articles were so quickly blown away when skeptics pointed out that Muller was a fake skeptic, and that his results were highly dubious (special achievement award to Anthony Watts). It can’t help that the other BEST co-founder turned out to have had a career consulting about carbon footprints and green schemes.
