Perhaps I ought to post a View From Your Window photo, as it’s absolutely bucketing outside my window, right now. In fact, it’s right Flannerying down. The water tank’s overflowing, the pond’s near its brim and there are standing puddles everywhere.
A “Flannery”, as columnist Tim Blair describes it, is when Australia is drenched in the sort of rain that eminent climate hysteric Tim Flannery assured us we would never see again. When the dams that Flannery flatly stated would never fill again are full to bursting, they’re said to be “Thunberging”.
Many millimetres of Flannery continue to fall across NSW and all of our dams are Thunberged. The latest Flannery is so extensive that it’s extinguished remaining bushfires: The NSW Rural Fire Service on Monday announced that for the first time since July 2019 there were no active fires burning in NSW[…]Happily, much of that Flannery has fallen in and around NSW dams – Thunberging every single one of them.

The only thing wrong with this massive Flannery sweeping the nation is that climate-botherers who expect us to believe that they can accurately predict the climate centuries into the future are pretty much pants at predicting even a few months ahead.
Another summer has come and gone and with it much of the credibility of the Bureau of Meteorology’s climate modelling that has once again been shown to be worthy of fish and chip wrapping and not much else[…]
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.
As proof that its soothsaying powers rivalled the Great Predicto himself, the BoM published a handy map of just where the rain wasn’t going to fall. The map at right shows exactly where the rain did fall.
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.
Where there’s a laughably wrong climate claim, you’ll always find the ABC merrily honking its clown car with the rest of the parade of fools.
Not to be outdone, the ABC in its relentless mission to proselytise 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[…]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.

So, after I got soaked to the skin bringing the bins in this morning, excuse me if I treat the entrail-reading of the Cult of Gaia with some healthy scepticism.
Now, I’m going to put on something warm, put the Cure’s gloomy masterpiece, Pornography, or maybe the Jesus and Mary Chain’s Darklands, and enjoy watching the Flannery come down.
