Default Are we being conned (again)


This Vehement CO2 policy will bankrupt Australians. And it wornt do any
good
I concede that we have a world temperature increase perhaps! But I'm very
cautious about its cause.


Many years ago, well in the last 30 any. The amount of co2 in the atmosphere
was 300ppm + or - 10 now it is 350ppm why has not the temperature increased
by a similar amount? the average is about 290Kelvin why is it not
330-3340K????? Why am I a skeptic?????


We have a strong La Nina effect at the moment.

La Niņa translates from Spanish as "the girl-child". The term "La Niņa" has recently become the conventional meteorological label for the opposite of the better known El Niņo.

The term La Niņa refers to the extensive cooling of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.



In Australia (particularly eastern Australia), La Niņa events are associated with increased probability of wetter conditions.



Changes to the atmosphere and ocean circulation during La Niņa events include:

a.. Cooler than normal ocean temperatures across the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
b.. Increased convection or cloudiness over tropical Australia, Papua New-Guinea, and Indonesia.
c.. Stronger than normal (easterly) trade winds across the Pacific Ocean (but not necessarily in the Australian region).
d.. High (positive) values of the SOI (Southern Oscillation Index).

A La Niņa event is sometimes called an anti-ENSO (anti-El Niņo-Southern Oscillation) event.
