Like in the US, the 1990 IPCC report showed that afternoon temperatures in southeast Australia reached their peak in the 1930’s – and then plummeted.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

No no! That’s pre-adjusted data. Climate Experts now say that South East Australia in the 1930’s was under an ice sheet and at least 4 degrees cooler than now. (I can make up crap as good as any alarmist) There are frozen kangaroos to prove it!

The hot 1930’s don’t exist at all in the approved and adjusted version of the Australian temperature record. It must be a figment of all those 1930’s heatstroke victims imagination.

Steven,
Can you do an overlay of the 1990 vs the 2000-2010 records?
I’ll see if I can get an even more recent record, but its obvious that the late 1930’s where hotter than in recent decades until the BOM used the old Dog ate my homework excuse. Normalising might be difficult.

Even the 1896 Heatwave has disappeared entirely from the adjusted register.

Mr. Goddard, I don’t know where to put this but I am going to drop this in a comment here. It is off of this topic. I apologize.
Many are aware of what is going on with the Bundy ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada. I think I know exactly why this is happening. First of all, I want to let people know that Bundy isn’t the only one facing this exact same thing at exactly the same time. They are doing the same thing to another rancher in Iron County, Utah about 75 miles north.
The crap about the desert tortoise is just crap. It is not an endangered species. BLM has been slaughtering them by the hundreds because they don’t have more of them than they can deal with. Besides, the Bundy ranch is in a pretty built up area on I-15 just outside Mesquite. Ravens are the primary threat to desert tortoises in built-up areas. They are just trying to get the cattle off the BLM land and it has nothing to do with habitat preservation.
They want to use the land for large scale solar development and first they have to get the cattle off of it. The current director of BLM seemed like a strange choice to me. He has only been with BLM for less than three years. Prior to that he was a “senior adviser” to Harry Reid. His degree is in political science with a masters in international relations and after college he was an international election monitor. So why is he at BLM? Here’s why, from his BLM biography:
If they can get those cattle off that land and begin solar power development with huge government grants and subsidized loans, they can get a kick back of a significant portion of that money in the form of political donations. I am going to post some references but I don’t know what your wordpress settings are for allowing links in a comment so I am going to play it safe and place one here and a couple more in subsequent comments.
Reference 1: BLM slaughtering tortoises. http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/23256865/desert-tortoise-faces-threat-from-its-own-refuge
meant “because they have more of them than they can deal with.”
This is reference number 2 to another rancher about 75 miles north of Bundy in Iron County Utah. They are rounding up his cattle, too. They claim he hasn’t paid fees but the rancher claims BLM hasn’t tended their fences in 20 years and on open range the cattle wander in on their own.

I suspect this is going on with a LOT more ranchers but many of them might believe they are the only ones.
And finally reference number 3. The biography of Neil Kornze who was confirmed as director of BLM yesterday but has been running the place for the last year or so (even though he has only been there a little over 2 years).

crosspatch,
Glad to see you here and thanks for the insight. Goddard bumped the WordPress setting up to three links per comment because I kept getting kicked into the ether.
Your analysis makes sense. This is another example I found a few years ago:

5. Construction Starts on Warren Buffett’s Solar Project:
I can not say whether the land cleared of homes mentioned in the 2011 article (Owners were ordered to literally dismantle the houses) is the same as the land used for the solar farms but it is suggestive. This is the description from one of the articles linked:
Do not forget it was the state of CA that curbed water for irrigation by deciding the snail darter (a bait fish) needed the water more.

This smells to me like they brought this guy into BLM in order to develop BLM land for solar energy projects and in order to do that, they need to get the cows off the land. They probably will allow goats, though, once the solar projects are built in order to keep the weeds down now that they are adding shade and water to the surface.
