Cyclone Owen dumps extreme rain in Queensland

Parts of northern Queensland receive 5-7 times their monthly average rainfall in 24 hours.

Owen is the first cyclone for Australia's tropical season and has been impressive from the start.

Cyclone Owen made a second landfall on the eastern shore of the Cape York Peninsula and began tracking southeast. Over land again, the storm began to weaken, but the amount of rain, particularly for the east coast of Queensland was considered "incredible" and "very intense" by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

In just a 24-hour period, the town of Halifax, along the Queensland coast, received an astonishing 681 millimetres of rain. Nearby, Cardwell Range picked up an impressive 552mm of rain. Some unofficial totals coming from locations south of Braemeadows reported more than 700mm.

Flooding has closed many roads north of Ingham and motorists have been told to avoid travelling on the Bruce Highway between Cairns and Townsville.

Deadly weather: the human cost of 2018's climate disasters – visual guide

Scientists say extreme weather events are getting worse as emissions rise and the planet warms

‘Uneasy about the heatwave’: readers on a year of climate anxiety


The UN’s recent alert that the world has at most 12 years to prevent climate catastrophe was a landmark moment. Never before has the threat of irreversible damage been so close.

Starting now, massive cuts in man made emissions are essential if global warming is to be kept to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century. Even half a degree beyond that will significantly raise the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people, as well as dooming all the world’s coral reef systems and, probably, Arctic sea ice.

Even now, at 1.1C of warming, the world’s climate is already entering dangerous territory.

According to data from the Centre of Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, in 2018 so far approximately 5,000 people have died and 28.9 million have needed emergency assistance or humanitarian aid because of extreme weather.

Australia's extreme heatwave spans five states with high of 49C forecast

2601.jpg


Australia’s post-Christmas heatwave continues to sweep across the country, with a near record-breaking 49C forecast for Western Australia, and fire danger, health and air quality warnings issued across the nation.

On Thursday morning, the bureau of meteorology forecast a scorching 49C maximum for Marble Bar and Pannawonica in the Pilbara region of WA – only 2 degrees below the highest temperature ever recorded in Australia, which is 50.7C at South Australia’s Oodnadatta airport in 1960.

By 8.40am on Thursday Marble Bar had already recorded 43.4C, with the worst of the heat to come.

The extreme heat is stretching across WA, SA, Victoria, New South Wales and parts of central Queensland. Temperatures in the south are 10C to 14C higher than average, the bureau said on Wednesday.

Don't worry- maggot & cronies will cool it all down with denial maggot-piss.
 
Australia recorded its hottest month ever in January, with average temperatures exceeding 30C (86F) for the first time.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the extreme heat was "unprecedented" during the country's summer period.

At least five January days were among the 10 warmest on record, with daily national temperature highs of 40C.

The heat has caused wildfire deaths, bushfires and a rise in hospital admissions.

Several wildlife species have also suffered, with reports of mass deaths of wild horses, native bats and fish in drought-affected areas.

Yeh nothing like has ever happened before in Australia, oh wait...yes it has!!

Post by: Lance Pidgeon with assistance from Chris Gillham and others.

It is as if history is being erased. For all that we hear about recent record-breaking climate extremes, records that are equally extreme, and sometimes even more so, are ignored.

In January 1896 a savage blast “like a furnace” stretched across Australia from east to west and lasted for weeks. The death toll reached 437 people in the eastern states. Newspaper reports showed that in Bourke the heat approached 120°F (48.9°C) on three days (1)(2)(3). The maximumun at or above 102 degrees F (38.9°C) for 24 days straight.

By Tuesday Jan 14, people were reported falling dead in the streets. Unable to sleep, people in Brewarrina walked the streets at night for hours, the thermometer recording 109F at midnight. Overnight, the temperature did not fall below 103°F. On Jan 18 in Wilcannia, five deaths were recorded in one day, the hospitals were overcrowded and reports said that “more deaths are hourly expected”. By January 24, in Bourke, many businesses had shut down (almost everything bar the hotels). Panic stricken Australians were fleeing to the hills in climate refugee trains. As reported at the time, the government felt the situation was so serious that to save lives and ease the suffering of its citizens they added cheaper train services:

“The Commissioner of Railways promised a deputation of members of Parliament to run a special train every Friday at holiday excursion rates for the next month to enable settlers resident in the Western part of the colony to reach the mountains to escape the great heat prevailing.” (Source)

It got hotter and hotter and the crowded trains ran on more days of the week. The area of exodus was extended to allow not only refugees from western NSW to flee to the Blue Mountains but also people to escape via train from the Riverina to the Snowy Mountains. The stories are heartbreaking. “A child sent to the mountains to escape the city heat died at the moment the train arrived.” “Six infants have died at Goulburn since January 1 through the excessive heat.” Towns were losing their esteemed, lamenting the loss of the good reverend, or of their well known miners. Children were orphaned.

Temperatures have hit 47C (117F) in southern Australia where an extraordinary heatwave has come amid one of the worst droughts in the country’s recorded history.

In large parts of the Murray-Darling basin – an area of land the size of Egypt – little rain is expected for months. Fish are dying in their hundreds of thousands at Menindee and people living in towns and on properties along the Barwon-Darling river system are battling to secure water fit for drinking and washing and to feed their stock.

Townsville has received more than a metre of rain in just a week, which is more than 20 times the average for the time of year - beating the previous record set in 1998, in what became known as the Night of Noah.

Officials earlier warned that up to 20,000 homes could be flooded.

January was the hottest month on record for Australia as a whole, with the southern city of Adelaide breaking its own records twice in the month, first reaching 47.7C and then 49.5C.

Several wildlife species have also suffered, with reports of mass deaths of wild horses, native bats and fish in drought-affected areas.

A metre in a week ? Surely, most of that is denier piss.
 
Climate change: World heading for warmest decade, says Met Office

_105532277_nasa1.jpg


The world is in the middle of what is likely to be the warmest 10 years since records began in 1850, says the Met Office.

It's forecasting that temperatures for each of the next five years are likely to be at or above 1C compared to pre-industrial levels.

There's also a small chance that one of the next five years will see global temperatures temporarily go above 1.5C.

That's seen as a critical threshold for climate change.

If the data matches the forecast, then the decade from 2014-2023 will be the warmest in more than 150 years of record keeping.

Not in maggot-world. In maggot-world they are enjoying the climate stability that only denier-piss can provide.

Fuck me rigid, good old Matt McGrath, the writer of that specious bollocks, I have engaged him on Twitter several times. I asked him recently why he continues to refer to micro tremors caused by fracking as earthquakes. It is truly fucking crazy that the limit is set at 0.5 magnitude. A herd of elephants farting creates a bigger seismic tremor.
