Until recently, Australia’s only source of natural food grade CO2 was from 1 well called Caroline, in South Australia.
That’s no more, and another field called Nangwarry, not too far from Caroline is, or will be its replacement.
90
Out of consideration for the weather in the rest of Australia, we ought to stop allowing any C02 to leave and donate it to the SA Film Corp. Then we can all sit back and enjoy some naughty Air-rated movies.

New Zimbabwe is also experiencing a CO2 shortage.
https://www.gasworld.com/story/australia-and-new-zealand-grapple-with-co2-shortages/2134900.article/
Do climate alarmists avoid drinking carbonated beverages? Do they even know what gas is used in them?
170
Here on the streets of Big W in Niu Zimbabthey, there’s no sign of reduced CO2 involvement and the number of earrings, noserings, dyed hair etc on frames exhibiting largess is equivalent to if not exceeding the Australian experience.
Tattoos are everywhere and people rarely look up from their phones to absorb the real world, even when crossing the road.
People want to belong!

As long as they keep serving up those great green-lipped mussels, seafood chowder, fush and chups, lamb rump slices, etc., etc., I’m not going to complain. We have been living it up as we meander through the northern shaky isles.

“You’ve got a lot of traditional sources supplying emerging markets, that are moving out of Western Europe and North America to lower-cost energy environments,”
So sunshine and wind have made electricity so expensive they can’t make CO2 in the West anymore..
“New Zealand had two food-grade CO2 plants but the last of these, the Todd Energy Kapuni plant, closed in December following an ammonia leak, and the Marsden Point oil refinery – where CO2 was produced and captured as a byproduct – closed in 2022, ”
Ah- both CO2 factories closed by some Left-wing Govt determined to push us onto unreliable power.
You reap what you sow..
100
A couple of interesting quotes from the article.
I thought the CO2 in beer was part of the process to turn sugars into alcohol, similar for sparkling wines.
I wonder how much of the CO2 captured from these processes is sitting in containers of various sorts, soft drinks, soda stream gas bottles etc.
100
I remember, back in the old days, when CO2 was used to fight fires, so there was probably millions of tonnes of the gas sitting around in fire extinguishers. Back then the CO2 was probably manufactured by some chemical process. Now it could be captured.
50
Maptram
You are correct in home brewing.
In commercial brewing you require CO2 bottles to charge the beer and delivery it through the lines.

Remember in rural Australia when ice cr3am was shipped in large green insulated canvas bags. We used to grab some of the “dry ice” and throw it in a puddle to see the reaction. Dry ice is of course solid CO2 and at room temperature it sublimates too a gas without a liquid phase… fascinating?

Dunkley by-election
Who will win?
– Labor?
– Coalition?
– The by-election will be rigged?
90
I can’t understand why Government funded websites are doing election polling. And it could hardly be considered randomised polling.
110
It’s a concern. It is not their job to do election polling. It can only be for propaganda purposes. A complaint should be made to the Australian Electoral Commission.
120
“A complaint should be made”.
That’s hillaryairious.
120
I suspect that internal political party polling revealed the trend downwards for Labor weeks ago, and one of the reasons why Albo started to try and muddy the waters with his strange claim that a 7 per cent swing against a government at a by election is normal.
It isn’t, less than half that amount on average.
60
The swing against is down around 2% if the “sitting” member dies in office. Labor are prepping for bad nooos.

Word for today: “catastrophisation”

Well given their usual performance lately I suggest the BOM be a bit more modest about the time they think they give the public about weather.
120
This morning my phone weather app warns “extreme heat alert” and further down a forecast for Friday of 29C and Saturday 30C and then falling lower thereafter.

Possible Civil War between the American people and the CIA?
Its dumb for Americans to take on the deep state Communist Insurgents Agency (CIA)
Most Americans are beginning to realise that Kennedy and Trump need to abolish the Anti-democratic Federal agencies such as the CIA and the FBI, which are seen as full of lawless thugs and traitors.
The CIA assassination of President Kennedy and an attempt on Julian Assange, and now the suspected assassination attempts on Tucker Carleson, Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump seem to indicate the CIA are at war with democracy and wont allow the American people to vote for people who want to abolish the CIA.
The first time that Americans voted for a Republican President, the Democrats started a Civil War to preserve Slavery from being abolished by the Republicans.
The next time that Americans vote for a Republican President, the Democrats could start a Civil War to preserve the CIA from being abolished by the Republicans.

Not Blaming man-made “global warming, but merely natural ENSO! The last year of record warming predicted to get worse!
THIS CLIMATE-SCARE PORN “prediction” for the globe until summer uses the oldest trick in the book to get it: use the Cold Decades of the Global Cooling Scare as the base for model comparison.

I remember trees beginning to bloom when I was in London in Jan, 1975. Then in April, London had light falls of snow.

Yes, with record snows in California. And record cold across many countries including devastation across Mongolia.
But only premature spring warming is reported.
It seems that any Climate Variation is climate change. Especially early warming, somewhere, anywhere. And there is always a pseudo science argument that extreme cold is a simple result of global warming, incredibly silly though that logic seems.
It is why the tradition existed of the late Punxsutawney Phil, the ground hog. A light hearted poke at the traditional method of forecasting the end of winter, the instincts of an animal in something which is naturally highly variable.
I would suggest the pushers of Climate warming stare into a washing machine or dryer for a minute and see if they can predict the future in a chaotic system? And why they expect zero variation year to year, country to country.
If the BOM predictions are any indication, no matter the obfuscation, the ability of scientists to predict even the short term future in any detail is zero. Yes, summers are hotter and dryer than winter. And winters are colder and wetter than summer. But if last years’s BOM prediction is any indication, they really have no idea in detail.
But I can safely predict that any global Cooling is going to be hidden and it is underway right now.

This budget was initially 360 million yen. However, with the supplementary budget, it turned out to be 39.77 billion yen.
Indeed, it has become 110 times larger than the previous estimate, it can be considered that the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare assumes over 100 times more health damage incidents have occurred.

That’s OK, apparently. You see, deaths from vaccine-induced heart attacks are “very rare”, so that’s good, no need to worry, come get your umpteenth booster.
It’s also good that deaths from vaccine-induced blood clots are “very rare” too. Inflammation of the spinal cord following vaccination is very rare, as is Guillain-Barré syndrome. The vaccine can also cause brain inflammation, but this too is “very rare”. The CDC says anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare. Hearing loss is rare. Your chances of developing ‘Long Covid’ are increased following vaccination, but that’s rare too.
So they’re all rare. Phew.
Wait a minute. If we add up all the “rare” side effects …

Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics.
From my friends at NSW Health who have at least attempted the difficult job of reporting the facts.
Figure 4. All-cause death rate per 100,000 population, all ages, 2017 to 7 January 2024
Here is the same graph in October 2023
Figure 4. All-cause death rate per 100,000 population, all ages, 2017 to 22 October 2023
What happened to the excess deaths in 2021?
The data references the Australian Bureau of Statistics and one of their explanations for choosing an expected baseline is.
Who walked in and decided to make these changes and why? Why drop 2020 from the baseline? Who is going to tell the hardworking souls in the Emergency rooms, Hospital wards, Ambulances and Mortuaries that 2021 was a ‘walk in the park’? Statistically speaking that is!
Maybe that is what ‘Flattening the Curve ‘ is really about?
120
You must admit they are good models! Their modeled predictions graph became a modeled results graph with almost no difference!! Well, until you actually count the dots!
They re-modeled their model in the later graph starting at 2019, not their predictions, but the actual results they had there in Oct 23. The one week with excess deaths above the ‘average’ was deleted in the later graph. In 2020 the two weeks with ‘below average’ deaths became 7weeks below average. In 2021 the 5 weeks above average becomes one week, and their prediction of 40weeks of excess deaths becomes 24!!
So its the opposite of temperature science, they re-model their models to lower deaths as time goes by!
30
I contend the ‘Bureau’ as we understand is the trend in referring to our trusted institutions has the duty to present data in a standard format where variation can be observed. The source of these variations should there be an ‘outlier’ can be discussed and explained. Governments, Insurance actuaries, businesses, etc make decisions on these trends in data.
My understanding from the Australian Actuaries as I have previously discussed on Jo’s blog is the previous representation of excess Mortality since 2021 can be explained as not being due to the modified RNA vaccines due to the Therapeutic Goods Administrations (TGA) advice that this technology is safe. This is an example how variations from an expected outcome are analysed and explained. In viewing the latest graphical representation where the method for calculating a comparative baseline was changed, the Actuaries did not need to approach the TGA as there were few excess deaths. Personally if I was an insurance underwriter looking at this blog I would be provisioning for a tidal wave of claims and good luck with that if you are holding US government bonds as assets.
00
?
00
Exactly, we really do not know. Imagine the poor Actuaries doing their maths (excess deaths in 2021) on a problem that was later (2024) shown to be of considerably less concern. What was their advice then and how would they have acted then if they had known what the ABS would be telling them now?
Would we be shutting Coal fired power stations now if the early thermometer readings had not been adjusted downwards? We rely on these ‘Bureaus’ to report facts, not adjust them without providing a comparison series using the previous data.

Yesterday the base rate retailers can pay customers for their solar exports will be 3.3 cents a kilowatt hour – a 32 per cent reduction.
There is now so much solar on rooftops across Australia, including in Victoria, that it’s pushing out all other forms of generation and leading to a daily glut of supply.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-29/why-falling-feed-in-tariffs-wont-slow-solar/103528180
So if Australia now has a gut of supply as we are now told, this must mean the end of future massive solar farms? A net zero failure, leaving only the wind farms and batteries as an option?
Are existing commercial solar farms having their export rates slashed to 3.3 cents per Kw Hr?
Once again the mum’s and dad’s that forked out hard earned cash for their rooftop solar have been conned. They may never see the day when its paid for itself. It’s another political decision by the Labor Party that’s sacrificed solar home owners incomes to increase foreign owned power company profits. At a time when the cost of living is seeing families struggling to put food on the table. Owners of rooftop solar who are voting in Dunkley please put Labor and the Greens last.
101
Tough titties, why should I have to pay for you to jam more sunlight into your local grid.
I paid for half of your sunshine collection device, what about my hard earned coin that was forked out for your virtue signaling enterprise, why do you have the right to sell power to me at a time I don’t need it.
You should have to pay to feed your local grid as the real generators have to lose money for your rainbows and lollipops, free for all midday madness.
Did you really believe the government was doing it for your benefit, when they have never done anything for your benefit?
People are struggling, because they have to pay you for something they don’t need and never asked for.
90
The solar farms rely on the subsidy through the creation of LGCs. They often export at negative price just above the going price for LGCs. Lunchtime Friday and both Victoria and South Australia have negative wholesale price.
Anyone with solar panels should be looking at a battery with the objective of getting off-grid. It will always be lower cost to make your own electricity using solar and battery than having the solar panels, wind turbines and batteries strung out hundreds to thousands of kilometres away and transmitiing the power to households over vast distances.
The only reason Australia’s grid worked so well for decades was because of centralised power stations on or near coal fields. That sensible approach no longer applies. Wind and solar resources are ubiquitous so it makes sense to locate the collection point at the load rather than in some remote location.
30
So now 300,000 solar homes in Victoria are being slowly pushed into purchasing a battery. Spending an extra $10K-13.4K / 10Kw battery, as MP above says, they have to pay you for something they don’t need and never asked for.
Spending $13,400 on a 10Kw battery that only stores $3 worth of electricity isn’t really great value for money. The whole Net Zero thing is financial entrapment. The only free cheese is on the trap.
60
You will never pay the battery system off within the short lifetime of the battery.

Interesting Reading Article – Sydney, Brisbane and Perth summer temperatures among their hottest on record as warm, wet season finishes with a scorcher
Eastern Australia’s summer was marked by high levels of heat and humidity as Sydney and Brisbane sweated through record challenging temperatures in recent months, writes Rob Sharpe.
Even Melbourne snuck over the line due to the rounds of heat it experienced this month.
In a few days’ time we will get the statistics for the entire country, likely the third hottest summer on record.
Looking at – Station:Melbourne (Olympic Park)Number: 86338 Opened: 2013
Days over 30C for Melbourne Jan 24 = 6 Days Feb 24 = 9 Days
Days over 35C for Melbourne Jan 24 = 0 Days Feb 24 = 5 Days
Days over 40C For Melbourne Jan 24 = 0 Days Feb 24 = 0 Days
Even more interesting – Summary statistics for all years
Jan Highest Daily = 43.4C Feb = 40.7C
Then look at Station: Melbourne Regional Office Number: 86071 Opened: 1908 Now: Closed 06 Jan 2015
Note actually opened on 1st May 1855 and has data from then
Days over 30C for Melbourne Jan 68 = 11 Days Feb 68 = 13 Days
Days over 35C for Melbourne Jan 68 = 7 Days Feb 68 = 9 Days
Days over 40C for Melbourne Jan 68 = 2 Days Feb 68 = 2 Days
Summary statistics for all years
Jan Highest Daily = 45.6C Feb = 46.4C
And if you really want it Hot look at Jan 1908
15 Jan 08 = 39.9C
16 Jan 08 = 42.8C
17 Jan 08 = 44.2C
18 Jan 08 = 40.0C
19 Jan 08 = 41.1C
20 Jan 08 = 42.7C
How in the heck can BOM & Australian Journalist make stupid statements like hottest on record when simple check of the past shows these statements to be false?
90
‘ … 1st May 1855 and has data from then.’
Ah yes, when it suits the meme they allow the past to speak.

Jan 1890 wasn’t bad – 14 Days over 30C, 11 Days over 35C, none over 40C

BoM and the ABC only go back to 1910.
‘Despite the increased rain, according to the Bureau of Meteorology’s preliminary summer recap, Australia looks set to record its third warmest summer on record, behind 2018-19 and 2019-20, comparing all years back to 1910’ (ABC)
10
Warwick Hughes has a photo of a Stevenson Screen in Melbourne, in 1879.
The BoM has always argued that many stations were not fit for purpose (in recording temperatures) because of the common use of the Glaisher Stand, prior to 1910 . Yet, Hughes maintains that the Stevenson Screen was in common use prior to that date. He further argues that the supposed +0.2 deg C difference in readings of the Glaisher Stand could be adjusted to fit the readings of the Stevenson Screen.
Hell, I think that the BoM are fully aware that the very warm period of the Federation Drought is contradictory to the ‘CO2 causes global warming’ paradigm and would be an embarrassment to the bureaucrats & political class pushing this lie.

‘You shouldn’t have problems’: Swiss retiree’s brutal assessment of Australia
A Swiss retiree on holiday Down Under has given a scathing assessment of Australia, stating exactly what the nation needs to thrive.
Rudolf, a retiree, was recently pulled up by viral vox-popper Mr Sikkant, where he was quizzed on the differences between Australia and Switzerland.
The elderly tourist said Switzerland’s prosperity was mainly due to its low taxes and good governance.
In Switzerland, the average single worker pays 18.5 per cent in taxes on the average salary of a whopping AU$139,135. An equivalent salary in Australia would be taxed at 37 per cent.
In comparison, the average full-time salary in Australia is $74,035.
And of that you would still be expected to pay 21.6 per cent in tax.
Why the difference?
Rudolf, the former chemical industries worker, said: “We have the same (resources), but we don’t pay so much taxes.”
When quizzed on how the small nation of less than 9 million can afford to keep itself progressing, the retiree said: “We don’t have this burgeoning bureaucracy”.
“Every ten years, the government reviews how many jobs we have and really need – if they don’t (need them), we close the department – we don’t trust the government.”
“We trust them to do certain things, but we watch them.
Rudolf’s final message was a poignant one.
“Australia is a rich country; you have coal, gas, oil and wheat,” he said.
“You shouldn’t have (problems).”
“You just have to get better management.”
140
Lee Kuan Yew the late Prime Minister of Singapore who was responsible for building the small island nation into an economic powerhouse made similar comments about Australia, he even said our friends in Australia were in danger of becoming “the white trash of Asia Pacific”, so many natural resources and debt far too high.
Of course we are over governed and in recent times public service employee numbers have been increasing markedly, and noting that many now work from home and enjoy regular wage/salary increases ahead of private sector taxpayers who pay the revenue that pays for public service.
100
I recall reading somewhere that all taxes are paid by just 50% of citizens. I assume this takes into account age and unemployment, also those who don’t earn enough to pay tax. This is shocking but made even worse when you consider that the 50% who are working and paying tax includes that ever-growing number of public servants, who don’t really pay tax, they just give some of the money handed to them by government, back to government. The REAL taxpayers are those generating ‘new’ money paid to them by private sources. Any guesses what % of the population this represents? Obviously, it’s less than 50% – and falling. This cannot be sustainable.
On that basis, if Australia wasn’t flogging its dirt for high prices, we’d be broke.
40
Income tax is not a big deal any more, they make the money they spend from sales tax, industry taxes and borrowing. Personal income tax is about half the taxation taken, and taxes make up about 25% of GDP.
Borrowing currently is 34% of GDP, planned to reach 37% in 2027.
20
If income tax is half of all government income, I would call that a big deal.
