100% I haven’t noticed any change in the climate over half a century. Hot days are still hot days, wet days are still wet. No one called those conditions “heat waves” back then. Why do they think Queenslander houses were designed that way at the end of the Nineteenth Century?
Yeah what a soft generation, I remember summers so hot in the 70’s that the bitumen on the roads and school playgrounds melted, they can’t fool me about the climate I’ve seen much higher temperatures heatwaves that lasted 4 days in the mid 40 degrees and we didn’t have air con. So toughen up and stop the fake climate alarmism.
Yes, I'm 75 and summers and winters are the same now as they were when I was a child . People now are s brainwashed by the MSM. Im sick and tired of the lying and propaganda that the government and the weather bureau put out there, saying its climate change . They are all nothing but Global Cabal puppets conning the people, doing what they are told. Weak spineless people, taking bribes or blackmailed to follow orders.

I been told we have 10 years of liberal and they didn't fix that shit. Either way, we have horrible parties who both doesn't want the best for Australia but themselves
They like punishing all of us for the sins of the past against First Nations people also even if we were born here to people with no ancestral connection to the early settlers!
According to Albo , EV's can recharge , in your Garage , off Solar Power from your Roof Panels.......Overnight . He said THAT in Parliament one day while pushing the " Green Agenda " . I kid you not .
I got a BOM 'emergency weather' notification on my phone on the 25th of November warning me of 'heatwave conditions' of 31C. I live west of Sydney. I literally rolled my eyes.
Lucky we closed our smelters and refineries. So much for value adding to our own resources. I have never known such warnings about simple household power usage.
Everyone who voted labor, greens and teals should have energy rationing. All other Aussies should have unlimited access to power because we did not vote for this.
And not putting in Dams where they could do pumped hydro from the start but yeah water and power security aren't necessities as long as you can keep up with the Kardashians
@@awc900 Excellent suggestion to pass on to Turdball - if there is a dollar in it, he will be there to suck the life out of it and sell it to a mug for a profit.
About time Australia started hitting the hip pockets of Government! No power, no price cuts, NO WORK. Send a very loud message to the Government, that they represent Australia! Not other countries’ interests.
We want farms that grow food not expensive, unreliable solar and wind farms that in themselves are environmental disasters. The effect they have on the land, animals, insects, and to top it off you can't recycle wind turbine blades or solar panels...but you can recycle nuclear waste, some newer nuclear reactors even run on nuclear waste.
Here in Britain it's more the cold, cloudy and still weather (common this time of year) that is the problem. It can last for weeks, windmills and solar panels don't work, and there won't be enough back up to do normal things, let alone charge a new electric car or boiler. Nothing is thought through in net zero lunacy.
What do you mean it was well thought through have you seen all the people that bought this lie. Remember you will own nothing and be happy. Making you buy a EV than restricting your power means you can only drive when we say you can. They do everything in little steps before you know it we have nothing left. And if you don't follow the rules they little they let you use will get taken away so you better fall in line. Yet they will still fly their privet jets have their mansions backup generators travel the world well you can't go out because your car has a flat battery and you have no power and when you do have power it is to expensive to charge your car or use your AC. Solar panels and batteries don't last that long so once your close to paying them off they need replacing. It is a never ending story.
In Germany, under green madness, all nuclear power stations were dismantled. There were already energy shortages, but Germany could (at very high costs) obtain electricity from neighboring countries during those shortages. Australia, due to its isolated location, does not have those possibilities and must be self-supporting. Even a small child understands this. My 2 cents from Flanders (Belgium).
Channel 9 news tonight opened with breathless, rapid-fire panic from multiple reporters across Sydney; the city reached 28 degrees. You'd think nuclear war or another plandemic had just broken out
Keep up please - "base load" under Marxist NewSpeak is a Brown/BlackOut - and you are supposed to be grateful to Chris Bowen, our Energy Hero, because the problem has been solved net-zero, the books are perfectly balanced.
The nongs from the Labor Party were conducting welcome to country ceremonies in Azerbaijan during the COP29 climate crap fest. That says it all about these idiots. Get them out before the lights go out.
@@JackRichardsonM8no if your cooling ponds are to hot you cannot cool you turbines because the hotter water destroys your vacuum under the turbines Eroupe had to back down their nuclear power plants because the rivers and lakes got to hot.
It's not the coal generators. It's the idiots who decided coal wasn't going to be allowed so they've gone to ruin. Those same idiots who say all is well because of solar, wind and batteries. Coal isn't the problem, it's the solution. The problem is the so called solution, so called renewables
20 thousand offices switched on, all electric cars and a computing revolution that uses more power than we have. Which one do we sacrifice ? Oh, families......

Our high level of immigration leads to more demand for electricity from less reliable renewable energy.We can never catch up with all the infrastucture demands & like lemmings we are heading towards the cliff.
5 days from summer. We've had 3 years of La Nina weather with mild winters and cooler summers.Everyone forgot that for the 5+ years before that it was normal to have 45 degrees in western Sydney. the weather is normal, what they are doing to the grid is not.

35 degrees is now a heatwave...gosh once it was an indicator to fire up the outside BBQ.....what happened to the +40 degrees C for weeks in a row.....that was a heatwave.....
Umm a proud south Aussie and the government has not advertised this or even dare I say asked the residents if we want this ??? Labour will be voted out next time here and won't be back for a long time
I've never been to Australia, but I imagine the summers can be a brutal in parts. Here in The United States, this was one of my biggest fears about Harris winning was that we would wind up in a situation like South Africa, where there would be load shedding. Too many power plants have been shut down as it is. In Ohio where I live, summers are awful humid. No way I would go without A/C or being forced to turn it up to 82 degrees Fahrenheit, like some have suggested.
We especially need nuclear power plants in Australia ASAP, we actually needed them 30 years ago too. Kyle Hill does a great YT video explaining the myth that nuclear power plants are to expensive and take to long to build. We have plenty of uranium, a reactor in Sydney for making nuclear medicine and we now have RN and USN nuclear submarine visiting us regularly and have even already been serviced in Perth. We already have plenty of nuclear waste from x ray machines, nuclear medicines and our Sydney reactor not to mention from our future submarines. So the waste side of the debate is already a non issue. It's just the Russian sponsored green protesters scared of losing there billions in future earnings by ripping us poor Aussies off with expensive solar and wind projects. EDIT: i remember the summer of 89-90 and there being 6 days consecutively of 40+ degrees C. I remember because i drove in it from Adelaide to Darwin over 3 days and the few days before i left were 40+ too.
Exactly in the case of Bill Shorten who is about to retire after just 17 years in politics on a full pension and now it been announced he will be appointed to the position of Chancellor of the University of Canberra on a $1.8m a year package.
South Australia has approx 2 mil people, probably 1.5 mil in Adelaide. A renewable system may keep the lights on. However it is hardly a good example of a largely populated area. And I hope Bowen explains its track record of being the only state in Australia to lose the entire grid! Or maybe Bowen could take Guterres to Broken Hill to see their latest blackout.
Having spent the last 6 months "touring" around South Australia I find exceeding strange that the state is so reliant on Wind power and yet more than 90% of the wind turbines I viewed were not operating - does this mean there is really no electricity shortage or proof we are being lied too= ?
No wind turbines are not very reliable they won't work with to little wind or to much wind you need just the right amount of wind for them to work. They also tend to catch fire or just fly apart.
I often summered in Australia to avoid Canadian winters I remember one summer in NSW that stared in July and ended in June and 35 c was a cool day all the while there were warnings of an ice age imminent and the hot weather was a sign of the Apocalypse to come. There were announcements of records being broken every few days and I'm sure if you could find an old hard copy of the Guinness book of world records they'd be higher than all the recent hottest days on record that was probably achieved by placing the thermometers near the bonfire made of Guinness books.
@@jimmybrad156 a low budget purchase is an 8 foot round blow up pool they hold about 3000 ltrs of water and come with a tiny low wattage filter pump Best placed under some shade for optimal comfort from the burning sun They easily fit 4 adults or several kids this has been my go to solution for several years as summers seen to get hotter and hotter with age Just remember to follow local regs when installing any water device, a drowning or sudden rupture could kill someone
Absolutely unacceptable for a country as highly taxed as Australia .. this is gross incompetence and heads should roll starting with voting out all Labor everywhere and forever .. 3rd world countries have more reliable power for only a fraction of the cost
We pay for a SERVICE, and they can't fulfil their end of the contract, they should be forced to refund effected customers and pay a premium for power fed into the grid by private solar during peak, stop them lying and gouging on pricing. Also make national security laws to always have surplus power generation capabilities for peak times and emergencies.
Placing the major parties last on the Senate ticket could prevent the automatic approval of corrupt legislation. It's vital for the public to value their Senate, as it represents voices from every community rather than being a singular entity that dictates our lives and compromises our wealth and prosperity. 🤠
How does the season make any difference? If we don't have enough energy when it is hot then it is not going to make a difference whether it is spring or summer.
@@tassied12 How dare they! Government "We could mainly eliminate base load power generation and hope no one turns on the AC during summer!" Idiots "I like that plan"
@@Diponty It's our baseload generators that keep falling over! Eraring was given millions of taxpayer $ to provide the extra security over summer and it has one of the generators that is offline.
So i8nfuriating - and those MAPS are designed to push people over the edge - total nonsense... Keep the pressure on - if the summer should get hot & the power fails, don't be surprised if severe hardships follow.
The logic of relegating a reliable energy source to backup status, in favour of one that's intermittent, so unreliable, escapes me. 🤷♂️ I'm all for being green, it makes perfect sense. Surely though, logically, if you're replacing current generating technology, surely you would be moving to superior technology for your energy needs. Not an intermittent one. 🤦♂️
Albo loves green energy, why not power Parliament House with wind farms and solar panels. Surround Parliament House with the fantastic stuff and all parliamentarians must use solar and wind power. Let’s see what they think, rather forcing others to their green dreams
Tell me it is a heatwave when the temperature is over 40 -45 degrees not 30 -35. This is Australia and it does get hot in the summer months! Countries overseas have restarted the coal fire power statiion but Australia who is rich in coal is closing theirs and they haven't got anything reliable to replace the coal. That takes a lot of brains to do that. Australia take note of what is happening in northern countries and try keeping our money in Australia. We won't be a 3rd world country we will be a 4th world country. South Australia has had to buy electricity from NSW because they didn't have enough power.
Albo PM spelling bee was on today won by a girl school student should of asked her to Spell cheaper electricity then a question about when Albo will give everyone cheaper electricity 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆
Love the logic - NSW, one of Australia's most coal dependent states, is having problems due to 4 out of 12 coal generators being offline and somehow it is the fault of renewables?
What a moronic statement. If we have coal fired power stations offline and we have problems when we aren’t even in summer but renewables will save us??? Either I was missing your sarcastic statement, if so I’m sorry. If not you seriously need your head read.
that's what happens when coal fired stations are deliberately Not Maintained. And when ridiculous, dodgy "renewables" can't do the job - coal fired power is Stiil going to be needed.
@@barbq1976 Coal plants don't go forever. They have a design life beyond which problems such as metal fatigue, tube leaks etc force maintenance costs to be too high. The median retirement age in the US has been around 40 years. Even new well maintained coal plants can have problems. Callide C in Qld is a relatively new plant and had recently been through an expensive refit, yet Unit 4 exploded in May 2021, leaving 375,000 customers without power. It has only just come back online. Repairs at units 3 and 4 have cost over $400 million.
We are a 3rd world Country, this is why.... stop using the word heat wave, I live in Darwin, it's 35 all year round, now it's the humid season. When I lived in Melbourne years ago, we had 40 for many days ..then, the cool change comes and one needs a jumper.
We're less than a month away from the solstice. Technically 'summer' is one and a halfmonths either side of the solstice. The upward inflection in his voice gave him away.
Aussies are becoming soft, sorry but that is a fact, in the 70’s in Grafton we , well no body had air con, schools were hot , and I remember the school letting us all out when it got to 100 degrees F Now people duck from air con home to air con car into air cond work 🤷🏼 It’s not hot! Nothing has changed, this is a land of flooding rains and drought, so before you correct me do some research, using actual temperatures not the computer adjusted ones the BOM uses, and they have used other tricks , it is a con, BUT that’s my opinion , doesn’t have to be yours folks. There is no battery that will store enough power for enough kWh as yet or may never be , so wise up. Get a solar panel and a camp fridge cos there will be shortages, and if you have a smart meter the first thing you will lose is air conditioning, 180,000 people in QLD found this out last year. Look it up it’s true.
I can self sustain within reason. With solar and batteries. Until it's nasty hot overnight or 48 hours of dark rainy days before I'm drawing off the grid again. There's only so much i can do to reduce my need. Base load is still a thing.
I agree that China who supports Russia in Ukraine and threatened Taiwan, and subsidise exports that damage trading partners economies, and has built a huge military DOES NOT NEED AUSTRALIA'S MONEY.
Totally agree with you. Let's hope they do experience 40 degrees and the power going out. Then they may appreciate the need for consistent, reliable power as you say.
I grew up in the '50s' and '60s', and we had some stinking hot summers! But nobody called it climate change! 😂

Any tips for handling a hot day at home? Cold shower and a fan I guess?
@@jimmybrad156 a low budget purchase is an 8 foot round blow up pool
they hold about 3000 ltrs of water and come with a tiny low wattage filter pump
Best placed under some shade for optimal comfort from the burning sun
They easily fit 4 adults or several kids
this has been my go to solution for several years as summers seen to get hotter and hotter with age
Just remember to follow local regs when installing any water device, a drowning or sudden rupture could kill someone
Someone needs to shut down ALL the broken records and spin doctors,
bring some honour and accountability back to this country, what's left of it.
You can't make this stuff up.
Blacktown is out of power right now!
Absolutely unacceptable for a country as highly taxed as Australia .. this is gross incompetence and heads should roll starting with voting out all Labor everywhere and forever .. 3rd world countries have more reliable power for only a fraction of the cost
We pay for a SERVICE, and they can't fulfil their end of the contract,
they should be forced to refund effected customers and pay a premium for power
fed into the grid by private solar during peak, stop them lying and gouging on pricing.
Also make national security laws to always have surplus power generation capabilities
for peak times and emergencies.
Adelaide sounds like misinformation
Placing the major parties last on the Senate ticket could prevent the automatic approval of corrupt legislation. It's vital for the public to value their Senate, as it represents voices from every community rather than being a singular entity that dictates our lives and compromises our wealth and prosperity. 🤠
How does the season make any difference? If we don't have enough energy when it is hot then it is not going to make a difference whether it is spring or summer.
Peak demand is caused by everyone switching on the aircon during summer heatwaves
@tassied12 I know.
Or winter.
@@tassied12 How dare they!
Government "We could mainly eliminate base load power generation and hope no one turns on the AC during summer!"
Idiots "I like that plan"
@@Diponty It's our baseload generators that keep falling over! Eraring was given millions of taxpayer $ to provide the extra security over summer and it has one of the generators that is offline.
Intermittent energy , The Great Labor Detritus 👎
Yep, house out of power this afternoon, in Western Sydney
Wow lucky we have a housing crisis and all us poor suckers with solar panels to the grid being ripped off...
Wtf, astonishing.
So i8nfuriating - and those MAPS are designed to push people over the edge - total nonsense... Keep the pressure on - if the summer should get hot & the power fails, don't be surprised if severe hardships follow.
The logic of relegating a reliable energy source to backup status, in favour of one that's intermittent, so unreliable, escapes me. 🤷♂️
I'm all for being green, it makes perfect sense. Surely though, logically, if you're replacing current generating technology, surely you would be moving to superior technology for your energy needs. Not an intermittent one. 🤦♂️
Albo loves green energy, why not power Parliament House with wind farms and solar panels. Surround Parliament House with the fantastic stuff and all parliamentarians must use solar and wind power. Let’s see what they think, rather forcing others to their green dreams
Tell me it is a heatwave when the temperature is over 40 -45 degrees not 30 -35. This is Australia and it does get hot in the summer months! Countries overseas have restarted the coal fire power statiion but Australia who is rich in coal is closing theirs and they haven't got anything reliable to replace the coal. That takes a lot of brains to do that. Australia take note of what is happening in northern countries and try keeping our money in Australia. We won't be a 3rd world country we will be a 4th world country. South Australia has had to buy electricity from NSW because they didn't have enough power.
What its almost summer its actually usually hotter by now what are these idiots talking about....35° thats just warm not hot.
climate 200 the independent conjob there not independent .
Albo PM spelling bee was on today won by a girl school student should of asked her to Spell cheaper electricity then a question about when Albo will give everyone cheaper electricity 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆
Love the logic - NSW, one of Australia's most coal dependent states, is having problems due to 4 out of 12 coal generators being offline and somehow it is the fault of renewables?
@tassied12 no one said that. You have terrible comprehension skills.
What a moronic statement. If we have coal fired power stations offline and we have problems when we aren’t even in summer but renewables will save us??? Either I was missing your sarcastic statement, if so I’m sorry. If not you seriously need your head read.
Well imagine when 12 of the 12 are off line forever. LOL It will then be the fault of the greedy consumer.
that's what happens when coal fired stations are deliberately Not Maintained.
And when ridiculous, dodgy "renewables" can't do the job - coal fired power is Stiil going to be needed.
@@barbq1976 Coal plants don't go forever. They have a design life beyond which problems such as metal fatigue, tube leaks etc force maintenance costs to be too high. The median retirement age in the US has been around 40 years.
Even new well maintained coal plants can have problems. Callide C in Qld is a relatively new plant and had recently been through an expensive refit, yet Unit 4 exploded in May 2021, leaving 375,000 customers without power. It has only just come back online. Repairs at units 3 and 4 have cost over $400 million.
We are a 3rd world Country, this is why.... stop using the word heat wave, I live in
Darwin, it's 35 all year round, now it's the humid season. When I lived in Melbourne
years ago, we had 40 for many days ..then, the cool change comes and one
needs a jumper.
Al Gore invented this and the Internet!!!
We're less than a month away from the solstice. Technically 'summer' is one and a halfmonths either side of the solstice.
The upward inflection in his voice gave him away.
Channel nine is the worst for calling the weather,and 2gb ,they always slide a little snippet about the climate change crap.
Chris Bowen...The prince of darkness...coming to you

WAAAHHGGG

Aussies are becoming soft, sorry but that is a fact, in the 70’s in Grafton we , well no body had air con, schools were hot , and I remember the school letting us all out when it got to 100 degrees F
Now people duck from air con home to air con car into air cond work 🤷🏼
It’s not hot! Nothing has changed, this is a land of flooding rains and drought, so before you correct me do some research, using actual temperatures not the computer adjusted ones the BOM uses, and they have used other tricks , it is a con, BUT that’s my opinion , doesn’t have to be yours folks.
There is no battery that will store enough power for enough kWh as yet or may never be , so wise up. Get a solar panel and a camp fridge cos there will be shortages, and if you have a smart meter the first thing you will lose is air conditioning, 180,000 people in QLD found this out last year. Look it up it’s true.
I can self sustain within reason.
With solar and batteries. Until it's nasty hot overnight or 48 hours of dark rainy days before I'm drawing off the grid again.
There's only so much i can do to reduce my need. Base load is still a thing.
Yes, in SA and in Feb - way to go.
You want me to manage my electricity better at the beginning of summer in Australia but also keep my power bill at $1000.......That's a no from me.
Nzer here, apparently we're s rich country
I agree that China who supports Russia in Ukraine and threatened Taiwan, and subsidise exports that damage trading partners economies, and has built a huge military DOES NOT NEED AUSTRALIA'S MONEY.
And its all of our mainstream media, relating facts like children
Totally agree with you. Let's hope they do experience 40 degrees and the power going out. Then they may appreciate the need for consistent, reliable power as you say.
bowen is a total w⚓
