Record mean temperature for Australia for 2019: 1.5C above the @BOM_au recent baseline (1961-1990). Extraordinary. Even higher for some states: for NSW it was 2C above. A key driver for the climate-related extremes we are observing. Quick work @BOM_au !

Even our highly professional and experienced public service policy-makers are increasingly sidelined. As are others like our firefighters. A truly clever country in challenging times would make better use of all its talented citizens. And learn from its mistakes. @ANU_Climate
@DavidHTassie About twice a year to all parties in Parliament House. Not all accept. But they have many other scientists to get advice from like @aviandelights. Whole departments too. And of course the #IPCC which synthesises the research literature. No shortage of advice - if they want it.
Just about to head out for daily water run, always first job in the morning on days >40. Once stock are happy then can get a few other jobs done around here before the temp gets too far north of 40. Expecting about 49ish today, too fuckyhoty #moneyinswearjar
This guy needs help , one tweet says I should have supported Libs because LNP came second in 2010 then blames preferential system for winning the seat ...I received 61% of the primary vote, ( 50% is half way dodo)
@GusWhyte Blaming the weather(drought) for an Enviromental tradgety when your basic management plan (MDBP) doesn’t factor in climate change is a bit like steadfastly insisting that humans have nothing to do with climate change
My understanding is that most of our best and brightest riverine minds work for the MDBA. With them putting all the blame of the fish deaths in Menindee on the drought, they have removed themselves from any part to play in the improvement of mgmt. Remind me why they exist?
