Another summer has come and gone and with it much of the credibility of the Bureau of Meteorology’s climate modeling that has once again been shown to be worthy of fish and chip wrapping and not much else.
We are persistently harangued by the climate botherers, that if we don’t immediately embark on transforming into a subsistence economy then we are doomed by imminent climatic cataclysm.
This religious conviction is premised on the shoddy science that underpins climate modeling. So how did that science work out for the BoM this summer past?
In late spring, the BoM published its rolling series of climate predictions for the season ahead.
On November 29, the seers at the BoM read the entrails and declared:
Drier than average summer likely for eastern Australia, but wetter for parts of the west coast. For summer as a whole (December to February), the dry signal contracts to the eastern States. Conversely, much of the western WA coastline has a slightly increased chance of above-average rainfall in summer.
On December 5, they repeated this headline prophecy:
Drier than average January to March 2020 likely for eastern Australia, but wetter for parts of Western Australia.
The following map was promulgated at that time to demonstrate the likelihood of rainfall across Australia.
This is what transpired in the months of December through February inclusive.
See any correlations with the predictions of three months earlier? Nor do I! The reality was about as close to the polar opposite of the prediction as one could possibly imagine.
We are told constantly that the ‘science is settled’. – If we don’t act now, the models tell us climate catastrophe is guaranteed.
What is abundantly clear is that the global warming ideology masking as science emanating out of the BoM can’t get it right just three months in advance let alone three decades.
Not to be outdone, the ABC in its relentless mission to proselytize the anthropogenic global warming doomsday cult ran this horror story across its media platforms on Monday; Summers are now twice as long as winters in all Australian capital cities, report finds.
What followed was a laughable sham of pseudo-science. And who do we have to thank for the said report?
None other than the Green-Left aligned Australia Institute which the ABC report seriously presented as follows: “The Australia Institute is a non-partisan organization which conducts research on matters of public policy.”
We were then informed that two researchers crunched BoM numbers to find that apparently summers are now twice as long as winters in all Australian capital cities.
Clearly, they haven’t spent much time in Melbourne or Hobart in recent times. Never mind that summer is defined in the Southern hemisphere as the period from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox.
It seems the Australia Institute and its acolytes at the(ir) ABC have now reorganized the universe and the Earth’s rotation around the sun to redefine the seasons.
It appears that these modern-day Rat Catchers of Hamelin will stop at nothing to send the kiddies into the depths of anxiety and depression.

The Bureau Of yards equalling half Metres seems disinterested in correct forecasts. The incorrect forecast of global warming consumes its every moment.
I have ebbing faith in the BOM but would just like to point out that these two graphics represent different measures. What we need to see is how much the rainfall exceeded (or deceeded?) the median. I believe it is important to be as accurate and precise as possible when expounding on AGW because the whole sham seems to rely on loose and sloppy interpretation of data.
I have zero faith in anyone and anything to do with climate whatever it is called this week. Just lies, rewrites, computer models, fake predictions, yada, yada, yada. If this is science we are really in trouble, religious zealots not scientists I think. Next we will be examining chickens entrails to predict the weather, hmmm, maybe that might be more credible and accurate than BoM.
“Summer is defined in the Southern hemisphere as the period from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox”. This is incorrect, and relates to summer in the NORTHERN hemisphere.
Summer runs from Summer solstice ( Dec.) until the March equinox.
BOM’s forecast prior to Christmas was that no substantial rain would fall before April 2020. Despite this forecast, flooding rains were experienced in February along the eastern seaboard from North Queensland to NSW. Currently, significant rainfall is being experienced from the Northern Territory, across Central Australia, to NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
Well hopefuly the rain will help with those fires they need it in the land down under
