The most risible climate study yet?
More than half of the world’s coastal settlements are retreating from rising seas! The study, published in Nature Climate Change, analyzed decades (1992–2019) of satellite nighttime light data across 1,071 coastal regions in 155 countries.
Something doesn’t smell right.

If you enjoy archaeology, it is apparent that people don’t just live on the coast, they usually live on an estuary, near a source of fresh water. And this silts up. Most of the world’s cities from 0AD are now under 10 metres of silt. The old ports are useless and inland. Even rivers silt up. So while we read of how cities are going to drown, they usually keep building up much faster than the tiny ocean rise. The water often moves further and further away.
And then you get tides, which in London are an amazing seven metres. That’s without storm surges and the like. But alarmist are talking millimeters of sea rise as an immediate threat to human habitation, assuming zero adaption. Plus you get blown sand, as with the Sirocco in Italy and the wind off the Gobi in Beijing, often dumping 1 cm of dirt per year. While life goes on, most cities just keep growing upwards, ancient or modern. On the other hand you get erosion, which on the coast of England can be a meter a year.
The coastline alarmism is just absurd. People have always moved, adapted, built up, often on top of the old city in endless layers. So if you want to see the past, you have to dig. Generally a very long way down.

In Australia, development too close to the zone supposedly threatened by rising sea levels is increasingly prohibited.

Who owns the land further inland from what is supposedly threatened?

We do things differently here – the land rises!
Back in 1855 when the climate was perfect [cough!] a faultline to the east of NZ’s capital, Wellington, threw a wobbly estimated to be 8.2 magnitude (a biggie) causing 10m/30ft tsunami(s) to slosh around the Cook Strait, while at the same time pushing up vast slabs of seabed around the coast 6-8 metres (25ft) some of which now is the location of Wellington’s international airport (with a world-renowned surf break peeling down the side of the runway’s breakwater).
You win some, you lose some. What goes up –

Greg,
Plus, motion like this is real and observed and measured data showing that the ocean basin walls are not enclosing a constant volume. In a Hg glass thermometer, the crux of the design is constant wall geometry. Yet there are many, many papers on ocean level change that fail to mention this observed variable and are therefore retraction candidates. Geoff S

Formerly Great Britain is supposedly tilting with the North and West rising while the south/east is sinking. “And so it came as a bit of a surprise when, on holiday in Snowdonia last month, we visited Harlech Castle, and were confronted by a sign which said: Today the sea is a long way off, the sea was a good distance away – perhaps as much as half a mile off but in 1283 it lapped at the foot of the rock. This meant that Harlech Castle could be supplied from the sea during a siege. and took a look at Beaumaris Castle. The situation here isn’t quite so dramatic, but the sea is again some distance away from the castle, at least 200 yards,”
Caerlaverock Castle, this time in southern (west) Scotland. When built it stood at the head of a tidal inlet at a time when the sea level was higher than it is today. I didn’t see the sea when I visited it in 1977.
Chester was a Roman port (from the river) but this stopped in medieval times. The ‘new port’ where Handel embarked when heading to Ireland in 17?? about 6 miles closer to the sea, and is now almost unusable.
And well, there you are The North and West are rising! Except that the Cinque ports in SE England are no longer in use (except for Dover). And the Watergate in the Tower of London was built in 1285. The tides mentioned by TdeF wash in and out, but it doesn’t get dry nor overflows.

I was born in N.E. England, at the mouth of an estuary emptying into the North Sea. Fishing was the main occupation for well over a thousand years. There have always been storms and tidal surges, in fact, my grandparents’ house was flooded in 1976. The one thousand year old church my parents were married in was built by the Saxons well before the Norman invasion and it is said the sea lapped the churchyard. Today it is approximately a mile away as the crow flies. When the tide is out, you can barely see the water. Every time I visit, including summer last year, I walk the sands and wonder that the sea level is unchanged in seventy years.
90
And nature, notably sand, has historically completely buried entire cities, even pyramids even over 100m deep, so an estuary is nothing.
Fresh water, fishing and trade drive population centres.

I wonder if people are building away from the sea because that’s where the land is! You can’t build in the bloody water!

“In Oceania, we see a common reality where wealthier and poorer communities are both likely to relocate towards coastlines in addition to moving inland,” adjunct professor Wang said.

When Brighton, Melbourne, was first settled in the early 1840s the land holders with bay frontage built 4′ tall post and rail fences down to the high tide line.
By 1900 those fences were under water. Not in the water at high tide, the furthest out fence posts were under water at low tide.
So a 4′ plus rise in Port Phillip Bay in 60 years, and yet over the same time period Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour (construction started in 1841) showed no increase in water level, indeed, has shown no increase in water level between the early days of settlement and today.
You can get significant differences in what sea levels are doing in different parts of the world, and they don’t have to be all that far apart.

“We’ve had it in Denmark since 2018. First called NemID (EasyID) and now it’s called MitID (MyID). Government outsourced it to a company that has since then been bought by international firms.

My view is different in one respect. That is the overwhelming direction of government is set by the unelected bureaucracy. And what the unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy wants more than anything else is more power, less scrutiny and more unelected bureaucracy.
So I would say that Labor is not doing as they want. In my view they are doing what the unelected bureaucracy wants.
Occasionally the unelected bureaucracy appeals to the egos and vanity of politicians by throwing money at bread and circuses such as pointless position at the UN. After all you are not going to undermine the provider of the emperor’s new clothes.
The best hope for change is for the whole damned house of cards to collapse. But lots of innocent people will be hurt if that happens.

The unelected bureaucracy in Canberra is also the Labor Party. The largest single union in the country is the Commonwealth Public Service Union, and it is dyed in the wool Labor to it’s rotten core.
That wonderful organisation that calls itself “Get Up” is a tool of the Canberra bureaucracy, with the actual controlling membership being and grand total of around 60 senior Canberra public servants.
Then we get to the Press Gallery, where back in the ’90s over 80% were card carrying members of the Labor Party, and they were part of the left of the ALP even then. Since then it’s got worse, although numbers of ALP members may have dropped with them moving over to being members of the Greens.

The anti-Trump rhetoric in the SMH is running fast today..
“Is this really where the Coalition wants to take us with a blind allegiance to the new US agenda? No responsible leader could follow the US into wild superstition and authoritarian fiat.”
AlboSleaxy finally get an interview.
“this is not about politics or policy. It’s about values, the values of a showcase democracy – Australia – in stark contrast with those of an emerging authoritarian state – the US.”
I can’t tell which country this ‘expert’ is referring to here, XI or Trump-
“No amount of honeyed rhetoric can mask that we are still relying on a great power whose current leader is relentlessly attacking the very pillars of the American experiment.””
No that the ‘expert’ has a clue at all…
“Australian prime ministers have always celebrated the alliance based on “shared values” that transcend politics and policy difference. But while Australia’s values haven’t changed, the once-shared beliefs “are all under horrific assault by Trump,” says Curran.”
Australia’s values haven’t changed???! Which rock is he living under?
“The Republican Party now stands for everything it once loathed. The significance of this shift can hardly be overstated….(Trump) showcased this week that he is not only overturning Republican values, American constitutionalism and democratic norms. The world’s greatest power is at war with the scientific revolution launched by Nicolaus Copernicus in 1543 and the values of the Enlightenment itself. He told the leaders of some 150 nations to their faces that they’re “stupid” for swallowing the climate “hoax” while advising against childhood vaccinations and Tylenol (the painkiller Australians know as paracetamol) taken by pregnant women on the unfounded claim that they cause autism.”
It just goes on and on, I figure Peter Hartcher has discovered AI.. It even includes a totally cringe-worthy selfie taken by Elbow as he ran into Trump in the Mens room. The standard of journalism in Australia’s main media is woeful.

It does how the bias of the writer though-
“Hastie has emerged as a de facto leader of what some insiders describe as the “Maga right” of the Liberal party, a small but noisy insurgent force attempting to drag it down a populist path.”
As I understand it, politicians are meant to follow the desires of the people who vote for them, they are MEANT to be populist. Our current situation is due to the arrogance of those who ignore us.

The hidden benefits of Mango
A daily mango habit produced unexpected results for people with prediabetes: even though the tropical fruit contained more natural sugar than a granola bar, it actually lowered blood sugar levels while increasing lean body mass over six months.
The counterintuitive findings from a study conducted at Florida State University and led by George Mason University researcher Raedeh Basiri challenge the conventional wisdom that people at risk for diabetes should avoid sweet fruits.
Interestingly, not only did the mango group avoid blood sugar deterioration, they also increased fat-free mass while losing body fat. Participants experienced a borderline significant decrease in body fat percentage and a notable increase in fat-free mass, which includes muscle, bone, and organ tissue.

Why more people are purposely having their legs broken by cosmetic surgeons
A procedure once reserved for correcting severe orthopedic problems, it has now become a cosmetic trend. While it might sound like a quick fix for those hoping to make themselves taller, the procedure is far from simple. Bones, muscles, nerves and joint all pay a heavy price – and the risks often outweigh the rewards.
Over weeks and months this can add up to a gain of five to eight centimeters in height from a single procedure – the limit most surgeons consider safe. Some patients undergo operations on both the femur and tibia, aiming to gain as much as 12–15 centimeters in total. However, complication rates rise sharply with each centimeter of additional growth. Complications include joint stiffness, nerve irritation, delayed bone healing, infection and chronic pain.

A more likely comparison, with green energy being a quarter horse, would be like backing a quarter horse in a Melbourne Cup

“Oxidative stress (OS) generation, expressed by the production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), has been linked to the exposure of animals and cells to man-made EMF. The related key experimental studies of the last decade have been presented elsewhere [1]. However, the biochemical specifics of the biological mechanisms involving the generation of OS are unclear, with the most well studied mechanisms being those involving ion channels. The main hypothesis underlining these mechanisms portrays EMF (RF 900, 1800, 1900, 2450 MHz, ELF 0–3000 Hz) exerting their oscillatory forces on every free ion on both sides of any biological membrane, thereby causing the ions, cations, in particular, to pass through at abnormal rates. Such abnormal cation movement can alter the biochemical properties of membranes and can cause deterioration of cation channel functions, especially those of the voltage-gated (VGC) ones ”

“The power and telecommunications industries have used two arguments to support their view that human exposures to non-thermal non-ionizing radiation is inoffensive. First, the radiation is non-ionizing. Second, the energy quanta of the radiation are too weak to overcome the competing energy of thermal motion. Those arguments rest on the Arrhenius equation (1889) and on the concept of energy of activation. Later scientific developments such as the Eyring equation (1935) and the Bennett-Chandler (1977–1978) equation on reaction rates, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics, recognized in living systems by Schrödinger as “negentropy”, all undermine these arguments…The health effects of non-thermal non-ionizing radiation presently observed are in fact completely supported by physics. Furthermore, the expansion of wireless data rates is in direct conflict with preservation of a healthy environment.”

CLL 30 Years – Day OP yesterday RNSH after Oncologist noted from MRI 12 Sep 25
Chat GPT done by Youngest Daughter from Photos she took of the 2 page MRI Report
Thank you for sharing these reports. I’ll summarise them in plain English and explain what they likely mean, while keeping in mind that only your treating doctors can give you definitive advice.
What the scans show (summary in simple terms):
A new lump in the nasopharynx (area behind the nose and above the throat):
It’s pressing on the airway and looks suspicious for cancer (malignancy).
The tissue is showing features (on MRI) that suggest it could be either nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) or lymphoma.
Because you have a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), lymphoma is also being considered.
Spread to lymph nodes in the neck:
The lymph nodes on both sides of the neck are larger than before, which suggests possible spread of cancer or lymphoma activity.
Other changes:
There’s thickening of the lining in the sinuses and nose, which is likely just inflammation.
No spread into the brain or major veins is seen.
Previous surgery/reconstruction sites are stable.
Some fluid in the middle ear (likely from blocked eustachian tube due to the tumour).
Compared to the last scan (Dec 2024):
The lesion in the buccinator (cheek area) has gotten slightly bigger (now 11 mm, was 9 mm).
Lymph nodes in the neck are a little bigger.
Other areas of disease look about the same.
Conclusion in simple terms:
There is new tumour growth in the nasopharynx, which is very concerning for cancer.
The imaging suggests either a new cancer (nasopharyngeal carcinoma) or possibly lymphoma linked to your CLL.
The disease in other areas of the face/skull is fairly stable, but the lymph nodes are getting larger.
The doctors are worried this is progression of disease.
in meeting 17 Sep 25 to review RNSH Head & Neck Cancer Clinic Tuesday 23 Sep on table yesterday for
A biopsy will almost certainly be needed to confirm exactly what the new tumour is (carcinoma vs lymphoma).
The treatment will depend on what type of cancer it is.
If it is nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC):
Usually treated with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
Because you’ve already had surgery and radiotherapy in the past, treatment may be more complex.
If it is lymphoma:
This could be treated with systemic therapy (chemotherapy or targeted therapy) rather than surgery.
Sometimes lymphoma can respond well to treatment.
Prognosis (outlook):
The fact that this is a recurrence/progression makes it more serious.
If it’s carcinoma, it may be harder to treat and control, but options are still available depending on your overall health.
If it’s lymphoma, there may be more effective treatment options, though this depends on the type.

Have been suggesting to Oncologist & Haematologist asking if they can do me as trial on Ivermectin and Fenbendazole.
but Sceptical
Will wait till results of Biopsy and suggested approaches
A cancer diagnosis often leads people to explore every possible treatment option for their disease and symptoms. These may include alternative therapies like herbs, vitamins, or supplements, as well as prescription or over-the-counter drugs meant for other conditions.
One such class of drugs that has gained a lot of attention recently are anti-parasitic drugs, including ivermectin and fenbendazole.
In fact, Samyukta Mullangi, MD, MBA, a practicing medical oncologist at Tennessee Oncology, says that she has noticed a recent increase in the number of her patients with cancer asking about the use of drugs like ivermectin and fenbendazole.
“I have also spoken to one physician who estimated that between 20% and 25% of his patients may be taking [ivermectin],” Dr. Mullangi says. “A lot of patients are intrigued to hear about new options, but it is not clear to me why antiparasitic drugs have gained such attention as alternative forms of treatment.”
Why Ivermectin?
According to the American Medical Association, ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug approved for use in humans as part of the treatment of certain tropical diseases. The AMA opposes off-label use of ivermectin.
However, online searches for “ivermectin” and “cancer” reveal numerous studies linking the two terms and detailing how ivermectin may slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Although these search results may look convincing, these are almost all preclinical studies of ivermectin “in petri dishes and mice,” says Skyler Johnson, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute.
“The challenge is that the doses used in mice would likely be toxic to be effective in humans,” Dr. Johnson says. “There is currently no evidence in humans, or in patients with actual cancer, that these drugs are effective at decreasing cancer growth.”

Re toxicity of Vitamin I
“Ivermectin was evaluated for its acute toxicity after single subcutaneous (s/c) administration by ‘Acute Toxic Class’ method as per OECD 423 and by conventional acute toxicity test using probit analysis in rats. ‘Acute toxic class’ method yielded LD(50) in category 2 i.e. between 5 and 50mg/kg which was comparable with conventional method where it was found to be 51.5mg/kg. Post mortem lesions were observed in the form of congestion of liver, which showed centrilobar necrosis and hemorrhages on histopathological analysis in both the methods. This study suggests, ‘Acute Toxic Class’ method may be used instead of conventional method to study acute toxicity of injectable preparations. Similarly the LD(50) of around 50mg/kg indicated a wide margin of safety (250x) considering therapeutic dose of ivermectin as 200microg/kg.”

Best wishes for your prognosis and treatment OldOzzie.
I have a progressive doctor that follows science and will prescribe ivermectin and fenben for patients who ask for it, after they sign a waiver to agree that this is an experimental treatment.

Best of luck, Ozzie. You will be in my prayers for a better prognosis. Don’t know exact record of Ivermectin in such cases, but we all know that it has some reasonable evidence for efficacy.

Probably more to do with rate we detect and treat non melanoma skin cancers.

CHRIS UHLMANN The Australian – Grim fear campaign risks climate of distrust
From The Comments
Here’s a simple exercise that anyone with basic Excel skills can do — perfect for anyone worried about climate change or wanting to calm the fears of their children.
Step 1: Go to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) website.
Step 2: Download the full list of weather stations in Australia as a CSV file. https://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/lists_by_element/stations.txt
Step 3: Filter for rural or semi-rural stations that have been operating CONTINUOUSLY since around 1860–1900 through to today. Semi-rural is best because it reduces the impact of urbanisation, station relocations, and the BOM’s later “homogenisation” adjustments.
Step 4: Pick one station — good examples are Cape Otway in Victoria or Robe in South Australia.
Step 5: Download the full temperature history for that station as a CSV file.
Step 6: Clean the data (remove gaps), then create a pivot table in Excel showing the average temperature for each year for the past 100+ years.
Step 7: Plot the results on a chart, setting the Y-axis from 0 to 25°C so you get a true sense of scale not the exaggerated scales used by climate doomsayers.
When you do this, you’ll likely see a very gentle, mostly steady temperature trend which is a far less alarming picture than what you hear in the media.
Note: many of the more urbanised datasets have been completely manipulated by BOM to fit a narrative so best to look for lesser known locations. Enjoy !

Weatherzone has a whole section labelled ‘Weather Extremes’
This Month’s Extremes
Highest Temp
Yampi Sound (Defence), WA
42.4°C (21 September)… (Right by the end of the runway where the F18s take off)
Lowest Temp
Roma, QLD
-48.8°C (25 September)
Damm chilly in Qld this month…

Turbine exhaust temperature of F-18’s according to Gulag AI is:
Normal Exhaust Temperatures
Turbine Exit Temperature (TET): The exhaust gases leave the turbine section at roughly 1,013 °F (545 °C).
What could possibly go wrong with a temperature measuring station at the end of the runway, or the heat coming from the runway which has been baking in the sun?

IIRC they had it about +5 in the near vicinity at the time.
We certainly didn’t get snap frozen!

Yampi Sound is a new temperature measuring station, located on a flat hot section. It replaces the original “Yampi Sound” site on Koolan Island, further out and a lot cooler. It annoys me when they say that “Yampi Sound” is a lot hotter, when it’s obvious that the new measurement site is located at a much hotter location.

“Soaring temperatures? No, just more eco-witch doctory masquerading as science”
“THE UK Met Office has announced that for the year 2024 the mean global temperature was 1.53 ± 0.08°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average.
In that very short statement the year would seem to be the only real piece of data. Claiming that we can measure the mean temperature of the entire earth and its oceans for a whole year to that level of accuracy is questionable, surely. And what, exactly, is that ‘pre-industrial’ average? How was it measured?”

“How Dare You Notice Reality”
“It turns out that noticing the obvious – that sexual dysmorphia is a mental health issue, that the skeletons of men and women are quite distinct, and that some members of the so-called “LGBTQI community” are quite extreme in their ambitions, as illustrated by the case itself – has now been deemed taboo, and indeed punishable.
In which we learn that cross-dressing men are women, with magic woman bones. ”
