October 2008 the second hottest after Oct 2003

I doubt any effect on CO2--that is a stable molecule. Methane less stable, does oxidise to CO2 with time.

The Ozone molecule, three oxygen molecules is unstable and has a fair bit of negative charge on it, very susceptible to electromagnetic disturbances.

Had a look at the remaining apricots--seem overripe from what I could see.

January used to be mild, now i really need to pull a shade sail over my garden!

Bushfires already raging here in SA.

December, and thus far January, are certainly far hotter than the previous year.

But now in Adelaide it is cloudy, has rained and will apparently rain again this morning, max of 25C. Tomorrow also mild but 30's again in a few days

Wheres all the climate cultists now its pssing rain?

I spose they'll wait to the clouds clear, and then start howling at the moon and all. The poor devils.

I can just imagine all those poor truckies in the Nth caught up in the cultist Stockholm Syndrome of enviro-woes, gearing their operations to clear skies and roads abbundant. And then found they had to abandon their trucks for boats. Hmmph

Never let a good climate truth get in the way of a good political myth eh

Weather is not climate.

Was at Goolwa today, enjoying a "Wobbly Santa" porter at the "Steam Exchange" microbrewery/brewpub. that was nice, but the water level had dropped even further than last time I was there, about 6 months or so ago.

That 'beach' you see is not a beach but exposed mudflat.

MB storages at 22% capacity: we need to do something radical and do it QUICK! And long term! Plant trees at head Darling to increase rainfall and trap and store and use MUCH less water up there.

I can't see either of them.

LOL.

January used to be mild? Really... summer used to be mild. Good one.

"Already" getting fires? In summer? Who'd'a thunk it!

Confirmation bias anyone?

We were often very cool in December!

February was the hot month. That has changed.

Bushfire season is starting earlier, finishing later and the fires are bigger and hotter, burning seeds that otehrwise would be germinated by the heat, so areas take much longer to recover.
