Just occurred to me. If yer want more horsepower in a Drifter, buy an Aircam.. .

I just noticed, there is more... "...Mr Murray, who chaired the Federal Government's inquiry into the financial system, was appointed AMP chairman on Friday and will start on or before July 1..." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-07/david-murray-warns-it-will-take-years-to-restore-amp-reputation/9734048 .

Does that system sound sensible to you ? At any rate, today's lack of wind power is entirely wind related. Have a look-see at the wind charts on the Anero site and you will see they have wind direction and are coloured for wind speed. I note things are just starting to pick up for them... http://anero.id/energy/wind-energy .

If you have a look-see at the BOM wind chart linked at the Anero website you will see the reason for the lack of wind energy - There's next to no wind... http://anero.id/energy/wind-energy .

No, not a direct quote as such. The WUWT post linked to and took it from here - https://reneweconomy.com.au/amp-forges-new-path-appointing-climate-denier-chairman-31232/ From renewecon - "...On Friday 4 May, AMP announced the appointment of climate change-denying former Commonwealth Bank CEO and Future Fund Chairman David Murray as its new chairman..." .

Update - Just looking at Anero and see wind energy has gone dead around Oz. Lucky we still got a couple of coal stations as they are supplying most of Oz power at this time. .

From memory I think they had problems with the thrust line with increased horse power. A prop to suite the extra horse power is of larger diameter so the engine sits higher to clear the tail boom.

Oh, let winsor68 go.. From the posts of his I've read in this thread he's shooting blanks anyway... Next he will be calling Valerie Taylor a clown for making claims of bleaching that a scientist said never happened... .

I'm just having a look-see at the wind power output around Oz... http://anero.id/energy/wind-energy Though coal and gas are going gang busters...https://reneweconomy.com.au/nem-watch/ Seems there ain't much more then nothing from wind... .

Yeah, run along winsor68... bye bye.. Now back to it. One of Australia's main reef 'experts' comments... "...Hoegh-Guldberg tells The Australian his 1999 paper has proved impervious to challenge. “Instead of finding the 1999 paper to be wrong, other peer-reviewed literature concluded that, if anything, my conclusions were conservative,” Hoegh-Guldberg says. Mass coral bleaching and mortality are increasing, he says, at rates that, if they continue, will eliminate the coral-dominated ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef. “Remember we go from zero prior to 1980 — and five to six mild to intense events by 2016 — noting that not all events were on the scale of those in 1998, 2002 and 2016,” he says. “One stark reminder of how things are changing is the fact there is no scientific evidence of mass coral bleaching and mortality prior to 1980.”..." Well that's interesting. What is the claim - No so-called scientific evidence of coral bleaching and mortality prior to 1980..." Interview with Valerie Taylor………….diver, shark expert, conservationist Published in The Australian, May14, 2016 "...What’s your take on the bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef? In 1965 we went from one end of the reef to the other, over six months, and we found bleaching then. In the ’70s we went back and you’d never know it had happened. The coral had recovered; nature had taken care of it. I’ve seen reefs in PNG that were as white as snow and I’ve just come back from there and they’re terrific. So the Great Barrier Reef isn’t in crisis? Look, I’m not a scientist — I say everything from observation and experience. I don’t think the bleaching is a crisis..." .

Oh! So yer think AEMO is a crackpot source ? https://www.aemo.com.au/Electricity/National-Electricity-Market-NEM/Data-dashboard Or Anero a crackpot source? http://anero.id/energy/wind-energy Those are the sources for the STT article. ...and look at Anero. Most wind generators in Oz ain't doing anything at the moment... .

Yep, when he see's some evidence of integrity... "...On Friday 4 May (2018), AMP announced, the appointment of climate change-denying former Commonwealth Bank CEO and Future Fund Chairman David Murray as its new chairman,... ...In an October 2013 interview on the ABC Lateline program, Murray said “the climate problem is severely was overstated” and, when asked what it would take to convince him of the science, he replied: “when I see some evidence of integrity among the scientists themselves”..." https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/05/07/when-will-insurance-executives-realise-climate-advocates-understand-insurance-better-than-they-do/ .

Yeah, though the wind often stops blowing every where. And what the wind power company's get paid can vary greatly. Reference - https://stopthesethings.com/experts/ Re Turbulence - Many wind towers have been destroyed from the turbulence created from upstream wind towers. There are also pilot reports of Turbulence. So how do you come to the conclusion that there is "bugger all" turbulence ? .

Bates later told Science Insider that he was concerned that climate science deniers would misuse his complaints, but proceeded anyway because he felt it was important to start a conversation about data integrity: I knew people would misuse this. But you can’t control other people." "Bates later told..." ....Yep, sounds like poor ol Bates got intimidated. Though, did you read the US house of Representatives Science committee evidence I linked to above ? .

From reading your comments touching on 'appeals to authority' and your claims to have debated "moon landing, 9/11 and anti vaxers... "...If 9 doctors tell me I have cancer and one says I don't I may WANT to believe the 10th doctor but I suspect I would act on the advice of the 9, it is just rational. Of course, the 9 doctors could be wrong and if they are I may have spent money on treatment I did not need but it would still be the rational choice to follow up on the prognosis of the 9 doctors.   There is little point in us having this debate, neither of us are scientists. Conspiracies are hard to disprove to the satisfaction of the conspiracy theorist, I know this from debating moon landing, 9/11 and anti vaxers. In a way, it does not matter whether a minority of the community don't accept the evidence because as we are debating this scientists and engineers are working on designing and building more cost-effective and efficient wind turbines, safer ways to dispose of nuclear waste better solar panels, tidal thermal solar, geothermal and engineering a smarter grid and yes even working on cost-effective clean coal. The one thing we can guarantee is that things change and progress. .." How do you argue that that islam is a figment of the imagination? there are far more islamic scholars, more like 100's of thousands more, then there are climate scholars. So, reduction-ad-adsurdum, do your argument that "a minority of the community don't accept the evidence" of islam carry weight? Personally, I use common sense and evidence as a proof of claims. I see little in either islam or the global warming cult. .

Had a look-see at the link. Interesting comments... "...details of Bates’ accusations. He claimed that the 2015 NOAA paper correcting for known biases in the global surface temperature record was “rushed” for political reasons without proper data archiving, but the editor-in-chief of the journal Science in which the paper was published noted that the peer-review process actually took longer than average for this paper. "The paper was not rushed in any way. It had an exceptional number of reviewers, many more than average because we knew it was on a controversial topic. It had a lot of data analysis." The lead author of the study, Thomas Karl responded to Bates’ complaints in an interview with the Washington Post: "The term ‘archive’ means a lot of different things to different people. … In this case, the data were available if anyone asked for it, and then they were archived further down the line after the paper was published."..." I see. "an exceptional number of reviewers" So they are saying that most science papers presented to the journal Science are not properly reviewed. Yeah, right. Just like the kid caught out they don't just say they checked it, they say they double checked it.. As to archived... "...the US House of Representatives Science Committee launched an inquiry into its Pausebuster claims. NOAA refused to comply with subpoenas demanding internal emails from the committee chairman, ...and falsely claimed that no one had raised concerns about the paper internally... and ...NOAA’s senior officials playing fast and loose with the data in order to meet a politically predetermined conclusion’. ...The Karl study used flawed data, was rushed to publication in an effort to support the President’s climate change agenda, and ignored NOAA’s own standards for scientific study.’... "...admitted the data had not been archived when the paper was published..." https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/02/04/bombshell-noaa-whistleblower-says-karl-et-al-pausebuster-paper-was-hyped-broke-procedures/ https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/02/04/bombshell-noaa-whistleblower-says-karl-et-al-pausebuster-paper-was-hyped-broke-procedures/ .

The quack gets a gold medal from President Obama for record keeping... "...Dr Bates retired from NOAA at the end of last year after a 40-year career in meteorology and climate science. As recently as 2014, the Obama administration awarded him a special gold medal for his work in setting new, supposedly binding standards ‘to produce and preserve climate data records’. Yet when it came to the paper timed to influence the Paris conference, Dr Bates said, these standards were flagrantly ignored..." https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/02/04/bombshell-noaa-whistleblower-says-karl-et-al-pausebuster-paper-was-hyped-broke-procedures/ .

Don't think I could spend 18 months building a model aircraft and then go out and fly it. So easy to turn it into scrap on the first flight. ➡️➡️➡️⤴️⤵️ The change in sound as he throttled it up in the dive for a low pass sounds just right.. .

So, as your obviously a 'believer' of the islamic religion, how do islam reconcile the global warming hysteria within its faith ? And, moving down the list of "these organisations"... (apologies for the font size) National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) "...The Mail on Sunday today reveals astonishing evidence that the organisation that is the world’s leading source of climate data rushed to publish a landmark paper that exaggerated global warming and was timed to influence the historic Paris Agreement on climate change. A high-level whistleblower has told this newspaper that America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) breached its own rules on scientific integrity when it published the sensational but flawed report, aimed at making the maximum possible impact on world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015... ...the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable evidence that the paper was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data... ...His vehement objections to the publication of the faulty data were overridden by his NOAA superiors in what he describes as a ‘blatant attempt to intensify the impact’ of what became known as the Pausebuster paper..." https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/02/04/bombshell-noaa-whistleblower-says-karl-et-al-pausebuster-paper-was-hyped-broke-procedures/ .

Heh, China will tell you what you want to believe. I see a Chinese owned company, Yancool, has bought a RIO owned coal mine in Oz. Obviously China has plans... .

Let's treat this with the proper gravitas..

Where to start.. "...debating moon landing..." Hmmm, so what do actual astronauts and NASA scientists think - "...the high profile story today about the 49 NASA astronauts, engineers, and scientists who wrote a scathing letter to NASA director Charles Bolden, Jr. saying Jim Hansen and NASA GISS are exemplifying the “wrong stuff”..." https://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/04/10/the-right-stuff-what-the-nasa-astronauts-say-about-global-warming/ "...there is little point in us having this debate, neither of us are scientists...' With that reasoning you are saying I can not debate the islamic religion because there are literally hundred's of thousands of officially educated islamic scholars that have years of islamic 'education' behind them and are the official legal and political advisers to country's containing 100's of millions of people . Obviously as a lone atheist I lack any official religious accreditation and am not allowed to question why females are second class citizens, jews are to be killed, and faggs are to be thrown off tall buildings..... Nuff for now.. .

Last time I stayed at Lizard Island were late last century so I don't know what it is like now. I do note that looking at the Lizard Island resort website just now that there is no mention of coral 'issues' https://www.lizardisland.com.au/?msclkid=73c8265d84c9127acadc7cb2580a9ea2&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Brand>RLSA&utm_term=resort lizard island&utm_content=Resort Whatever is happening around Lizard Island today is moot at any rate because i'm not claiming there are no coral dieback/deaths/bleaching. I have clearly been referencing in this thread that coral dying is nothing new and is to be expected of anything that lives in what is arguably one of the harshest places to survive for any water living creature - i.e., right next to the air. One of the earlier Great Barrier Reef (GBR) studies in the 1920's done on a reef not far from Lizard Island (referenced in my earlier posts here) set off to study, amongst other things, what caused coral to die. So why did they set off to study coral death.... because of all the previous reports of bleached and dying coral. The 1920's research cites other research done around the world going right back to the 1850's that mentions coral death. So coral bleaching/dieback/death is nothing new. What is new is the eco-loon hysteria that is looking at every little sparrow fart of an issue to back up the global warming hysteria. .

OK. Instead of a hand wave to my comments, unless your asking me the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Please define your question a bit better.. .

Hmmm... and yet Oz coal is still exported as being the cheapest available source for smelting and power usage around the world. Any one flying around QLD will have seen those long rail lines to the coast to the big coal stock piles. Those coal stock piles are then loaded onto large ships and transported to yet another stock pile where the coal is likely loaded onto yet another train and taken to the coal power station or smelter. Seems us stoops here in Oz are the only ones who think unreliable sunbeams and wind farts are the cheapest source of power. .
