Today’s maximum temperature is close to the lowest for this time of year. [temp of 20.7c at 1:48pm]
Here’s a table of Sydney temperatures for the month of January from records Jan 1859-Dec 2005.
A pity they haven’t been kept up to date.

That is some Table. I have just booked an appointment with Specsavers to get my eyes tested………………..
50
Thanks Tom, I keep on telling people that temperatures were much higher than now in 1939, and this table says that I am correct. Saved for future use.
70
I assume that you Sydney folk understand that you occupy a tiny geographically/climatically unrepresentative bit of our very big land. You cannot extrapolate from your 0.05% of Australia.
42
I think that you will find that both in the late 1890’s when temperatures were over 50°C in many parts of NSW, as they were in 1939, that the data supports my statement above.
41
Sure, the 1890’s and 1939 were hot in much of the country. That has nothing to do with my comment, so perhaps I made it in response to the wrong comment. If so, sorry.
00
Why not? It’s how the BoM derives temps for its ACORN 1 & 2 “projections” for the whole of Australia.
80
Update – the maximum temperature in Sydney today was 21.7c at 4:50pm, up from 20.7c in my original post.
Still cool for this time of year.

Adelaide has been very cool this summer, yet yesterday’s paper had a gardening article on how our gardens have amazingly managed to survive the scorching high 30s we have experienced. Going by statistics, January has been warmer than average but so far has only broke 40 once, just above and I doubt that it would have been recorded anywhere near as high more than twenty years ago. We have, apparently, had more than the average days over 35 only 2/3rd of the way through January, but I’ve turned on the air conditioner just once. If global warming means we notice the heat less, bring it on!
41
Agree 100%. BoM’s 1-second bursts when a truck goes past the screen on West Terrace has saved their global warming bacon this summer.

I am also offended that Tarquin appears to only acknowledge two genders.
Men born before 2000 have never experienced motherhood.
Anthropogenic estrogen levels have never been this high.
70
Submariners in WWII worked in atmospheres of up to 8,000 ppm CO2 while submerged.
Modern nuclear sub crews spend months at a time submerged, breathing 4,000 ppm CO2

“Nobody human born since 1900 has experienced CO2 levels as high as what we have now”
That is absolute rubbish.
A closed bedroom will often get up to 1500+ppm in the morning.
EVERYBODY ALIVE has experience CO2 levels far higher than the current atmospheric level.
70
Depending on your lifestyle the average person will live in an atmosphere substantially higher than 4the outdoor 418ppm as it will be well above that in their home, their work, their car, their gym and any other place enclosed in some way.

A Parable of Brainless Leaders, By Okey Ndibe
President Robert Mugabe had sent one of his ministers to represent him at an important state function in Japan, to which other leaders from different countries were also invited. On the day of the event, Mr. Mugabe’s representative was beset by a monstrous, migraine-grade headache. There was a danger that he would not be able to attend the event.
Urgent arrangements were made to take the pain-racked Zimbabwean biggie to a hospital. Japanese doctors x-rayed his head to determine the source of his malaise. They then prescribed one or two medications, and, pronto, the man became fit enough to attend the official ceremony. As the Zimbabwean official left the hospital, the Japanese doctors gave him a sealed envelope addressed to President Mugabe.
Back in Zimbabwe, the minister went straight to President Mugabe’s office and delivered the envelope. The president slit it open. As he read the short letter, an expression of astonishment seized his face. The letter contained a simple request, expressed in a disarmingly direct tone. The Japanese doctors offered, upon the minister’s death, to buy his brain for $10 million. Mr. Mugabe’s astonishment soon gave way to fury.
“What is this?” he raged. “I’m the president of this country, and nobody has offered even five hundred dollars for my brain. But the Japanese want to pay $10 million for the brain of a man who is my mere minister. Something is wrong here.” For a moment, he held his minister in a blistering gaze. “You must have told them that you’re the brain of my cabinet. In fact, you must have boasted that you’re the one who thinks for this country,” he accused the man.
The minister, beads of perspiration on his forehead, body quavering, assured Mr. Mugabe that he had made no such boast in Japan. “Please call them,” the fear-gripped minister suggested, afraid that his life was on the line. “They will confirm that I never told them I was this country’s brain.”
Mr. Mugabe held his rage in check, and then dialed Japan. “President Mugabe here,” he announced imperiously. “What is this nonsense about buying my minister’s brain for $10 million when he dies?”
“Well, sir,” said a Japanese doctor, “we’re delighted that you called. You see, we treated your minister for a paralyzing headache he suffered during his visit to Tokyo. We scanned his brain in order to find out what caused his almost paralyzing headache. We marveled at what the scan showed. You see, Mr. President, your minister is 75 years old, but his brain is still almost brand new, hardly used. That’s why we made an offer to buy it when he dies. We plan to implant the brain in somebody who knows how to make use of a brain. Let me assure you, Mr. President, that your minister made scientific history. This was the first time scientists anywhere in the world discovered a virtually unused brain in a certified old man. By the way, sir, if you can find a few more unused brains like your ministers, your country can count on earning huge revenues from brain exports.”
Mr. Mugabe smiled. “That’s no problem. I can guarantee you a steady supply.”

Watched Outsiders this morning. They reported that Kmart isn’t stocking Australia Day items. A cricket player is whinging about taking part in a match on Australia Day (Michael Smith News and The Age). Our daughter reported that there was nothing on sale in Coles for Australia Day but that she found items in Aldi (in Chirnside Park). We are being bullied and nagged and now I see Dictator Dan has cancelled the Australia Day parade in Melbourne (in The Age online, where else?).

Eruption at Popocatepetl ejects dense ash up to 8.5 km (28 000 feet) a.s.l., Mexico
A stronger-than-usual eruption took place at Popocatepetl volcano, Mexico at around 13:38 UTC (07:38 LT) on January 21, 2023.
The eruption generated a plume of thick volcanic ash that reached a height of 8.5 kilometers (28 000 feet) above sea level at 14:21 UTC, as reported by the Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center.1
Satellite imagery revealed the ash being carried northeast, about 55 kilometers (34 miles) from the summit.
The alert level for the volcano remains at Yellow Phase Two, the middle level on the three-color scale.

According to the usual suspects, the sea-level is rising at an arming rate, so technically, global warming makes volcanos less powerful as the ejecta height is reduced.
With this amazing sea-level rise, planes will also fly lower, and, again, based on ones reference point, the Caspian Sea is sinking…
30
I understand that NASA recently reported a rise in some tectonic plates under the Pacific. This caused a rise in sea level. Nothing to do with atmospheric CO2. Also caused a number of the “threatened Pacific Islands” to rise and therefore become bigger.

AMPS Warns Medical Professionals Of Indemnity Risks
ON 11 JANUARY 2023, AMPS WROTE TO MEMBERS PROVIDING IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ADMINISTERING OF COVID-19 VACCINATION IS LIKELY NOT AN INDEMNIFIED ACTION
The letter alerted doctors and nurses who may administer the Covid-19 vaccines that recent correspondence from government advisers outlined that a medical indemnity scheme for health professionals administering the COVID-19 vaccines was never established per se.
The letter contains direct links to referenced correspondence and provides notice of health professional’s obligations, rights, and potential risks.
AMPS advises members that this letter can be shared as a means to inform colleagues of the potential liability risks associated with participation in the provisionally approved COVID-19 Vaccination rollout.
https://principia-scientific.com/amps-warns-medical-professionals-of-indemnity-risks/
Letter extract:
Administering of COVID-19 vaccination is likely not an indemnified action – this is notice of your obligations, rights, and potential risks.
On 2 July 2021 and 28 August 2021, the former Federal Government announced a proposed medical indemnity scheme for health professionals administering the COVID-19 vaccines. Recent correspondence from government advisers outlines that such an indemnity scheme was never established per se.
Unlike the case with manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines, there appears to be no government liability protection beyond the vaccine injury ‘COVID-19 vaccine claims scheme’.
Government and AHPRA correspondence outline practitioners’ obligations to obtain informed consent. AHPRA defines informed consent in section 4.5 of the Good Medical Practice Code of Conduct. It is “a person’s voluntary decision about health care that is made with knowledge and understanding of the benefits and risks.
The 9 March 2021 joint statement by AHPRA and National Boards threatens regulatory action “for anti-vaccination messages in professional health practice, and any promotion of anti-vaccination claims, including on social media.” Regardless, evidence from reputable sources demonstrates that COVID-19 provisionally-approved vaccines have real known and unknown harms and immunocompromising effects. Doctors have a duty to warn patients of any material risks associated with the treatment as well as ensuring their decisions are being made without undue coercion.
https://amps.redunion.com.au/important-covid-19-vaccine-indemnity
As I’ve said, doctors would be well advised to change course to avoid being on the wrong side of future history and having their careers destroyed via litigation.
TIME’S UP!
Things are about to get interesting.
140
I informed my Medical defence association of the AMPS letter and the letter to Ms Elizabeth Hart from the Dept of Health.
I expect to get a reply in a few days.
Class actions against doctors for vaccine injuries will likely be directed to the Medical defence insurers.

US agency to build AI-powered digital twin of Earth’s atmosphere
The U.S. state agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), wants to transform how the weather is reported. Their goal is to make the data look more like the way people see weather, in a 3D visual, and they have asked Colorado-based aerospace company Lockheed Martin to help them in this lofty task, according to a report.
“It’s going to be kind of a Google Earth-looking product, but it’s going to have all of these observations coming in at almost a real-time basis,” Lynn Montgomery Lockheed Martin research scientist told 9News.
“Our goal is to kind of fuse all the data into one measurement that represents the weather we see.”
The new model will be called the NOAA Earth Observing Digital Twin and will be a twin of the atmospheric model based on a digital environment and whose data will eventually be fed into a weather forecast model.
Using advanced AI algorithms
By using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms and cooperating with computing company Nvidia, Lockheed Martin scientists will be able to collect, integrate and fuse a large amount of weather data.
Once this step has been successfully completed, the resulting data will be transferred into a computing format called Universal Scene Description (USD) that the filmmaker Pixar uses to create its 3D visuals.

The full closure of the Liddell Power Station will take place in April 2023. It will be the first of AGL’s thermal generation sites to be converted into an integrated, low-carbon industrial energy hub, which will support energy reliability and regional economic development.
Now, that represents 10% of the NSW reliable Base Load Electricity Power. So what will replace it? NFI and no word from AGL as I can see.
Blackout Turtle Head Bowen has promised 24, 6 volt Ever Ready Batteries and an overnight recharger from Solar Panels………LOL

Hmm, Liddell 1 & 4 have each been running at a constant 320 MW for all of January and Liddell 2 at 320 MW since Jan 11. What’s going to replace that reliable 960 MW of generation?
Bayswater cycles from 1200 to 1800 MW every day, while Eraring cycles from 1,200 to 2,200 MW every day. That cycling is driven by solar eating their lunch.
Average NSW demand 8,000 MW, peak 10,000 MW.

It’s funny, considering The Voice referendum, that Albo hasn’t talked about also changing the words (again) of Australia’s National Anthem with, currently, the first two lines – I repeat, THE FIRST TWO LINES, being
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are ONE and free;
The words were changed from “For we are young and free” to “For we are one and free” on 1st January, 2021.
So, if the Voice gets through, will the new first two lines be
Australian’s all let us be sad
For we are divided and increasingly losing freedom, thanks to the lack of vision of the Prime Minister of the day? ToM

I think it’s more likely to be:

This link works – but I disagree with the basic premise of the article.
Climate is real and is happening. But it’s not caused by carbon, and it’s cooling, not warming.

That’s most interesting comment, so I would be most interested in finding what it is that you disagree with. Could it be that there is something confusing in the ‘message’ as you see it? If so, I would really appreciate your commentary; especially as there are a number of optional side-pieces.

Cause unknown: the epidemic of sudden deaths in 2021 & 2022
2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID.
A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent.

Australia’s Plan to Deliberately Spread Covid19
Queensland and Western Australia commissioned research on impact of opening borders to interstate and overseas travel. The advice was natural infection would offer better Covid19 immunity than jabs.
Suppression by social media severely restricted public information on National Cabinet planning to deliberately infect as many Australians as possible in order to “open up the economy” which had been severely impacted by lockdowns, state and national border closures.
I became aware of the plan by stumbling over a formal advice paper, commissioned with joint funding by the state governments of Queensland and Western Australia.
Queensland agreed to open its borders just before Christmas 2021 and the explosion of cases and Deaths is staggering, so much so that Queensland Health Department was ordered by the politicians to stop the graphical representation of case data.
https://geoffpain.substack.com/p/australias-plan-to-deliberately-spread
41
hospitalization and fatality rates seem too high, especially for Omicron (in absence of vaccines)
20
Now we know for sure that the jab doesn’t stop anyone from getting infected and doesn’t stop them from transmitting the disease, so this argument was always wrong:
” This is due to the optimal level of vaccine-induced immunity within the population, a function of the State’s very high third dose vaccination rate, and before immunity gained from vaccination begins to wane. ”
And it now seems that those excess deaths were caused by the jab rather than the virus…
Ban the medication which works, and mandate the jab which kills.
Clever.

Is there a penalty for getting the forecast so wrong? Today in Perth: forecast 36, at 2am it was 23, by 4am it was 29, it reached 31 at 10am, nowhere near the maximum forecast. Yes it’s hot, it’s summer in WA. Yes overnights can be uncomfortable. Yes the days will be a blasted furnace until after Anzac Day. I know all that.
But the BOM cannot forecast 72 hours in advance.
Forecasting used to be a senior, long-trained role. They took responsibility then.

However, they can reliably tell us what the climate/weather will be in 2100. Talk about delusional…..

His fundamental point is correct. They want to make everything electric and remove gas because electricity is easier to control to limit your consumption or cut you off. That applies to electric cars as well.
Not only in the US, there is a war against domestic gas consumption in Australia as well, including for heating and cooking. Many new buildings don’t have gas, and many new real estate developments are not connected to a gas supply

Former Labor MP and Cabinet Minister, Gary Johns: Burden of Culture : How to Dismantle the Aboriginal Industry and Give Hope to its by Gary Johns
Garry says there is no need for a second voice to parliament and that the activists exaggerate the plight of Australian Aborigines for their own purposes, he claims about 20 per cent of indigenous Australians are held back because of cultural differences, many languages and too often little English spoken, lack of education and no understanding of how mainstream society and economy operates. That they need to be taught how to assimilate. That the majority of Australians who have mostly part indigenous ancestry have become part of the mainstream population.

I continue to develop my full solar forcing model.
I can now forecast the average global surface temperature based on solar forcing.
I could make a full prediction for all of Australia or any specific latitude but just looking at one latitude gives a good indication of the overall. This is the solar intensity driving January temperature from 2016 to 2027 at 25S:
2016 , 494
2017, 510
2018, 513
2019, 523
2020, 514
2021, 511
2022, 494,
2023, 489
2024, 476.7
2025, 476.8
2026, 473
2027, 485
This is an 11 to 12 year cycle dominated by Jupiter muscling the sun about. So there is another 3 years of reduced December sunlight that drives the January land temperature. The temperature on land lags the sunlight by one month and on water by two months,
It will be 2033 before the the sunlight is back up to 2019 level over Australia.
People who think the solar intensity on earth is constant are being misled.

‘This is an 11 to 12 year cycle dominated by Jupiter …’
Are we talking about the solar cycle?
00
No. There are no sunspots involved. Just the movement of the sun around the solar system barycentre adding to or subtracting from the sun to earth distance that would occur if the Earth actually revolved around the centre of the sun.

If the answer is yes, then you should also give a hat tip to Venus and earth.

There are 4 planets that impact measurably on the suns orbit, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Earth.
The change in distance between sun and earth has more direct influence on Earth’s energy balance than sunspots. The same gravitational force cause the fluctuations but distance trumps solar flares.
The actual orbital data for Earth is based on orbiting the barycentre rather than the sun. When the movement of the sun is included, a lot falls into place.
The next warm year for Earth will be 2030. So far I have not modelled later than 2030 but there is a step up from 2029 to 2030.

So what happened during the Maunder Minimum?

Also, is there a solar connection to ENSO?

There is another theory worth considering, our climate is influenced by an internal dynamic.
‘Climate variations that alter the angular momentum of the atmosphere modify the speed of the Earth’s rotation, which affects the length of day (LOD). Alterations in LOD integrate different climate-affecting phenomena, and can anticipate turning points in climate.’

We should congratulate ourselves fellow common citizens of the Western World.
Our political, medical, and academic leadership has clearly demonstrated its’ incompetence, intolerance for criticism, and dare I say, general contempt for us.
And as a response to our recognition of their nakedness …
is taking steps to make it illegal for us to say mean things about them.

Just an observation: but have you noticed that many people who took the jabbs, and more especially the boosters, look ten years older than they did two years ago?
62
No, but I have noticed that many are suffering from ailments that have their GPs perplexed.
20
No, I had a total of three jabs and look as young as ever!
Everyone I know has had jabs and they don’t look any different
It must be anecdotal evidence that forces people into a kind of confirmation bias when it comes to believing in vaccine evils

I have been expecting this. Lithium batteries are a dangerous cargo. I expect insurance ships carrying batteries will be expensive or unavailable.
This is the one hope for the battery factories outside China. However it will make batteries even more expensive.

Horrific accident on M40 in England this morning. Look at the pics. Fire destroyed one vehicle by literally melting the backside. Only a battery fire can do that. But, of course, no mention of the EV involved at all.

Hard to say, a fuel fire will do pretty much the same if left to burn. The rear alloy wheel is melted which isn’t unusual, door is melted because it is aluminium too.

Yep, all the time, not everytime, not uncommon to see rivers of alloy set on the road surface.
