    As usual, stunning prescience, woofmeister.

    Question: is there a link symbol on this flowchart connecting us to a 3D layer explaining refugee entry denial - itself linked to a Tony Abbott layer denying gays a fair go - connected to a Geoffrey Blainey layer denying the black arm band view of history- linked to a Japanese layer arguing for more whale hunting-bridging to an explanation for why NSW government is FUBAR - connected to a subroutine excusing Sol Trujillo’s greedy and rapacious incompetence ?

    Opportunity for a unified field theory here, doggy !

    :) Stunning, absolutely stunning FD. :)

    Mike Jones: Love your hypothesis-with one tiny suggestion. (Edit) And for Oz to take as many migrants as possible(?) :( :( :(

    Otherwise just brilliant.

    Oh not you too with the tired old inconclusive science line. It is unanimously agreed: Andrew Bolt is the problem. (Edit - I don’t think we can say that). Sigh.

    6 of the 10 hottest years in the last hundred occurred before 1953. 4 of those was in the 1930s. 1934 was the hottest year on record not 2008.

    The link you posted is based on uk temperature data. Since discredited because of the inaccurate obsolete equipment used

    My data is from NASA records in the USA- hence the difference.

    Sorry if the data does not match your personal bias Evan.

    So are you saying the hottest temperature ever in the US was 1934? Was your whole post about the US not world temps?

    Ah yairs FD, Bob Brown on Insiders. Has it ever happened? You know Barry Cassidy could only ever make it in the ANU seconds, tragic! Pray tell how do I know that!?

    Fantastic conceptual work too. A cartoon version of Clarke and Daw straight routine if you ask me. Also it is obvious someone has been slipping some yellowcake into your bowl and the radon gas has turned your digitalis all Vincent Van Gogh.

    Poor dear. Should we now address you as X-Dog, mutant worrier? Geddit?

    NASA wasn’t established til 1958, So you probably mean its predecessor, NACA. However, you can make statistics do what you like by selectively quoting from them, and ‘hottest years’ is a vague term at best.

    WILDBANDICOOTE: Ouch, double ouch. That’s the first time I seen a comment declared wrong in two different ways. By Jiminee!

    I don’t think it’s “hottest” or “coldest” years that matter so much, it’s averages and trends over time. For example, are average yearly temps increasing or decreasing? Are average rainfalls increasing or decreasing? Etc.

    But it deserves a bettererer name. The Denial-o-Tron2000? The Troll-o-Matic2050?
