The show begins with the usual horror images of fires, waves
crashing, winds blowing as though the world was ending. In the also usual
sonorous voice-over we hear that Penrith recently had the hottest temperature
ever recorded in Sydney a few weeks ago. This is a lie. As soon as this was
announced by the BoM a quick retraction followed with the BoM admitting the
temperature at Penrith of 47.3 was in fact nowhere near the temperature of 47.8
at Richmond, a few kilometres down the road back in 1939. Four Corners did not
mention this retraction, nor did it mention the Penrith “record” was only for a
second as Jo
Nova notes:
Penrith uses one of the new AWS which record 1 second
temperatures. International protocol requires at least 1 minute, preferably 5
minute intervals to measure temperature to prevent false readings due to
non-climatic factors. From the graph of the Penrith temperature it is plain the
47.3 reading was an outlier due, maybe, to something other than the heat.
Four Corners then introduces its resident scientific talking
head, Karl Braganza from the BoM. Braganza wastes no time in saying things are
going to get worse, temperature, storms, the lot. Braganza is amazing. Here
he is back in 2016 claiming storms will decrease, albeit become more
powerful in the future. That claim about storms becoming worse, albeit less
frequent, is thoroughly rebutted here.
In fact, all extreme weather is reducing: droughts, storms, rainfall, as even
the IPCC and other prominent alarmists like Professor Muller concede.
Four Corners get their little pink hands dirty when they next interview
a couple of farmers, David Bruer, a paid up member of the Greens and Ross
Brown, a former sceptic. Both parrot IPCC temperature predictions of at least
2C increase some-time in the future. This is wrong, the poor guys are misguided
and have been conned. The global temperature is a mess with none of the ground
and satellite records agreeing with each other. But naturally alarmists and the
ABC pick on the hottest of all the temperature records, NASA-GISS:
Let’s be clear here. No sceptic denies temperature has not
risen. The argument is about the cause. For alarmists, it’s all mankind’s fault,
nature had nothing to do with it. This is stupid. Many new papers clearly show a strong correlation between the
Solar output, TSI, and temperature.
Four Corners, after their detour into folksy farm-land, then get
serious and present the big end of town. APRA and the Reserve Bank are shown
warning about the need for corporations to in turn warn their clients about
alarmism or run the risk of being sued. This is grotesque. APRA has no business
advocating alarmism. Phillip Lowe, the RB governor, is strongly green. He was
mentored by Paul Krugman one of the great alarmism loons. So it is no surprise
that Lowe was shown advocating business take on board preparation for climate
change. That’s worked really well for Australia, South Australia in particular, in respect of electricity supply and costs.
Four Corners then moved on to an assortment of lawyers, spivs
and activists who worked over the usual rubbish about rising sea levels which
are simply not occurring around Australia as Phil
Watson’s famous study showed.
The final attempt by Four Corners to legitimise the people’s
revolt against politicians’ inaction about climate change was the insurance
industry. The insurance industry is well known for its support of the little folk
(sarc) and even a cursory glance at how insurance has profited from alarmism,
which FourCorners obviously did not do, would show insurance offers no proof of
alarmism.
In 2017, the world’s biggest reinsurer Munich
Re, released its report which showed storms and extreme weather had declined
while annualised losses had also declined. This is consistent with ACE cyclone
trends and the IPCC
own publications:

This dreadful program wrapped up with scary images of the
2009, Black Saturday fires in Victoria.
These fires killed 173 people. They
were exacerbated by the green’s
policies preventing back-burning and were not hotter than the Black Friday
fires in 1939. Naturally Four Corners did not mention this.
The ABC is a disgrace.
Well said Anthony & Geoff! Nothing but pure Climate Alarmism that Our ABC should be held accountable for!!
