More Gobbledygook From the Climate Change Disciples
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek announced that Australia is a land of droughts and flooding rains.
Referring to the government’s “State of the Climate” report, she said:
“Dry periods will get longer, and bushfire season will get hotter. At the same time, the rain periods will get heavier — as many are experiencing right now”
Summers are hot. Winters are wet and cold. That’s the state of the climate. Thanks, government experts!
Mincing Words
What makes me laugh is the change of narrative from ‘global warming’ to ‘climate change’, which conveniently allows all types of weather which have been occurring for 1000s of years to be deemed an existential threat.
Today we launched the State of the Climate 2022 report. It shows us what we already knew: that dry periods will get longer, and bushfire seasons will get hotter. At the same time, the rain periods will get heavier – as many are experiencing now. pic.twitter.com/ooBlOMUhS6

The State of the Climate report is really just weather, which is cycles within cycles. In Australia, it goes like this (and has done for thousands of years):
Rain Growth Drought Fire
Rain Growth Drought Fire
Rain Growth Drought Fire
Rain Growth Drought Fire
That’s the state of the climate. Or, if you prefer:
Hot Dry Wet Cold
Hot Dry Wet Cold
Hot Dry Wet Cold
Hot Dry Wet Cold
Thank God the government has alerted us to this. Well done Environment Minister, give yourself a pat on the back.
But don’t worry, all of this can be fixed if we pay more taxes.
About-Turn
I’m old enough to remember when Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s favourite climate catastrophist Tim Flannery was telling us it would not rain and even the rain that fell would not be enough to fill our dams.
So we’ve gone from ‘the rain that falls will not fill our dams’ to ‘the rain periods will get heavier’ in exactly how long?
Fifteen years ago, our governments were spending millions of dollars building desalination plants because we were going to run out of water. Now our governments are telling us the rain will get heavier and heavier.
Make up your minds, please!
Now, if only the government would release a report on the State of our Electricity Bills.
That promised $275 seems to be blowing in the wind.
