Cyclone Alfred headed straight for Brisbane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not often a cyclone heads straight for a big population center in Australia, and the media is running minute by minute updates:<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s a slow moving category 2 storm, that won\u2019t set any wind speed records, but will cross paths with 3 or 4 million people. Current wind speeds at\u00a020 locations are available her<\/a>e. Let\u2019s just hope it doesn\u2019t rain for\u00a0too<\/em>\u00a0long.\u00a0The latest BOM report<\/a>\u00a0says sustained winds are 95km \/ hour with gusts to 130 km\/hr. (Roughly 60 to 80 mph).<\/p>\n\n\n

If \u201cClimate Change\u201d has any effect on Australian cyclones, it\u2019s to reduce them:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the usual logic and reason of top climate experts, this suggests that car engines, burgers, cows and coal can prevent cyclones. Anyone driving an EV, or eating vegeburgers clearly doesn\u2019t care about koalas (or delicate solar panels):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two cyclones went past Brisbane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
