Yeah - Dude ----

 

So do you remember the claim from Al Gore's Film - that by 2020 the Midwest of USA will have snow free winters and why would you invest into the ski-industry????

Guess who's got egg on his face now . . . . . . .

Snip ---

This weekend the tourism industry celebrated the US state’s biggest seasonal snow dump on record.

At Alta, one of America’s oldest ski-only resorts, visitors were treated to 19m of snow this season.

This was possibly too much snow. This weekend more than 1000 visitors were trapped in the ski village at Alta and neighboring Snowbird by an avalanche warning.

 

End snip ----

 make that 19 meters !!!

 Buahahahahaha

Lies - damn lies and statistics

Check this out.......

All data is from the NZ Met Service


 

It is true we had ONE day at the high as shown on their map - all of 33.9c - in fact we  had a lovely week being in the 30's bar one day!!


So the way they present this graphical image is that - LOOK - Feb 2023 - had a higher then the 10 year average temperature - GLOBAL WARMING they scream from the roof tops!! Your fault for eating cows and driving smokey cars they scream!

So add all the highest temperatures for each day in month of Feb 2023 - and average them out to be in line with the 10 year average high temperature 

(you know - comparing an apple with an apple) for ANY meaningful comparison and you get - drum roll please:

23.7C!!!!

Check this against the 10 year high which sits at 31.4c!

 

HOWEVER

to really compare a granny smith with a granny smith you need to take all the daily highs (for Feb) and average them out and then compare that with the previous (monthly Feb) years or even a rolling ten year average for Feb

it goes like this




Whitianga Chch Dunedin










February 2013 23.9 22.4 19.4
February 2014 23.4 21.7 18.4
February 2015 24 22.8 18.4
February 2016 25.5 25.1 22.8
February 2017 24.7 22.5 20.2
February 2018 24.3 22.9 19.6
February 2019 24.4 24.5 21.1
February 2020 26.6 24.3 20.6
February 2021 23.4 22.9 19.7
February 2022 24 20.4 19.1
February 2023
23.6






avrg for last 10 years - - - - > 23

You will see that some years are warmer and some are cooler.  -- 2022 was the coolest so far at monthly average of 20.4c - and 2016 at 25.1c - a 5 degree Celsius range of up or down!  NOTE that 7 years (yes make that SEVEN years) are below the rolling average of 23c!


Liars --  So sick of these lies being told!! 

 

On the upside - Should there be a real warming planet -- I would be quite happy for a 4 degree Celsius rise -  it would mean New Zealand could grow its own coffee and pineapple and many other tropical fruits and of course our winter heating bill would be greatly reduced!!  Alas - by the time this is likely to be happening (year 2590????) I will no longer be round by then - old dude that I am . . . . .
