time to update the old Australian Installed solar via PM chart. Albabese has got it down to 15%PA from 180%PA during the Rudd Gillard Terms global growth is current running at 31% PA (last 3 years according to OurWorldInData)

chart of aust solar PV growth with time. Color coded to each term of prime minister. shows strong grown during the rudd glllard years (180% PA) , strongly supressed via abbot-turnbill-morrison (31%) with Albanese term currently experiencing only 15%PA growth

electric fridges may have won out because the carnot cycle is far far more energy efficient that the absorption process used in gas fridges. in the order of 10 times more efficient (COP 0.25 vs COP 2-4 or more) www.intechopen.com/chapters/113...

Spotted this amazing stonefish whilst snorkelling at Fitzroy island (Queensland) They are ambush predators & can inflict a very painful (potentially deadly) sting from venomous spines if trodden on This one was in a very prominent location by the jetty preying on bait-fish sheltering there i guess

But they export most of the worlds solar panels, most of the worlds batteries, most of the world's wind turbines and more cars than anyone else ( many/ most electric) . It's how you spend your CO2 that counts. Who is the adult in the room ?

I think i saw one of those (or similar) unfortunately it was a little windy so hard to get a good shot (with by phone) from the angle i took the photo you cant really see the upper green bit but from memory it looked very similar (Jarrahdale , mundlimup timber trail)

except all land is not of equal quality. Much of the area of land used for grazing cattle ect is not suitable for standard cropping for example the vast majority of the area of grazing properties in Australia are in low productivity arid or semi arid regions

good question i thought it was all solar the data comes from here pv-map.apvi.org.au/analyses the blurb on the site says it comes from RET (renewable energy target) data which i assume includes all solar. As for who would do such a thing as to colour code a chart by PM ???

dennis stanley @possibilize.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

he's the lowest installed solar growth prime-minister in 20Y (since the beginning of the data set ). even lower than Abbott . and its not like the rest of the world isn't going gangbusters.

I've been helping a colleague incorporate river flows into a #ROMS model of the #GBR . We had a heatwave in early January followed by a major flood event. The influence of the fresh water flowing onto the reef is stunning in these preliminary results 🌊

dennis stanley @possibilize.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

A few prime minister ago i wrote a script to plot cumulative installed PV verses Term of government Every now and then i give it another run for laughs the Albanese govt has the lowest growth on record. Even worse than Abbott

a chart that shows the growth of solar capacity since 2024. except with this one the chart changes colour depending on which term of goverment was in power at the time.

the legend reports the growth during each term of government the higest was Rudd 204% followed by gillard 105% until Albanese the lowest growth prime minister was abbot with 23% . up until the most recent data from september last year the Albanese govt managed only 15% growth

dennis stanley @possibilize.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

don't make me "tap the sign" lowest solar growth of any prime minister in the modern era !! less than Abbott! And at a time of record international growth of solar. there is focus groups and spin and ... then there is data! this govt is taking us backwards .

We have just deployed 2 ocean gliders to observe an extensive marine heatwave off Western Australia It's very concerning initial readings are 3-4C hotter than normal right down to 100m deep that's a phenomenal amount of extra energy follow live at anfog.ecm.uwa.edu.au 🌊

two yellow ocean gliders are prepared for deployment aboard a chartered work vessel off Onslow

Chart of glider observations of temperate at depth , on the right , Black line is climatology (whats normal) coloured lines are current observations from the glider it shows water uniformly 3-4 deg hotter than normal as far as the glider has been able to measure so far (which is 100m deep) . latest charts at https://oceancurrent.aodn.org.au/gliders/index.php

If only there was a way to cool the upper ocean by reintroducing mixing processes, deficient during coral bleaching events on the GBR? Hint there is and we have demonstrated that the cool water is there and we can bring it to the surface www.rrrc.org.au/reef-havens/ 🪸 coral reef #coralbleaching

a multi panel chart that shows the relationship between ocean vertical structure and average wind speed during the 2020 bleaching event near cairns on the Great barrier reef . we can see a highly elevated temperature in the top 20m even though in water instruments showed the water column, as a whole, was cooler than normal. strong winds arrived early in march and fully mixed the water column . leading to a return to normal conditions and an almost 100% recovery of bleached corals

what do you think is the causal link? eg. Switzerland (a wealthy company not from fossil fuels) but its citizens can use their wealth to buy energy. (ie wealth driving energy use) or Qatar (wealth from fossil fuels ie energy use driving wealth) or some kind of spectrum inbetween

That's a Wrap IUGC2024. Using Ocean Gliders's engineering flight data to visualise ocean mixing processes. The random water flow of ocean mixing processes causes differential flow over each wing that shows up in the rolling motion of the glider

Ok you prompted me to dust off the Australian installed PV by prime minister chart script. now updated to include the Albanese govt the Albanese govt has so far presided over the poorest growth in PV (15%/y) since the start of the data next poorest was Abbott (23%y)

dennis stanley @possibilize.bsky.social · 02/04/2024

Offsets approximately equal emissions growth 🤔 Did WA & QLD oil & gas grow by the amount of the available offsets? OR Did the supply of offsets grow to meet the requirements of WA & QLD oil & gas? If it's the latter then much of NSW and VIC apparent "gains" are really just fabricated offsets

They should make the battery ride-able (like this ride-able suitcase I snapped a photo of on the Singapore subway (the suitcase that carries you)) That way park the vehicle and ride the battery the rest of the way. plug it in while you work/shop/sleep

Some cautiously optimistic news from the #GBR. These ocean profiles from yesterday & 6wk ago show recent high winds have mixed the water column to<29c bringing relief to stressed & bleaching corals like 2020&22 when the early arrival of SE winds allowed corals to make an almost 100% recovery

two charts showing temperature and salinity with depth. one group of measurements (taken yesterday ) show an almost perfect vertical line. indicating the water temp and salinity is uniform across the water column. the other group of measurements (from 6wks ago) show a steady gradient in the water column from over 30C at the surface to 27.5C at the bottom. Indicating coral bleaching conditions were brought about by poor temperature distribution in the water column. which is a characteristic of low turbulence conditions brought about by calm conditions. the unasked question is could a supplementary mixing intervention have saved the coral the tress in the first place

a wind forecast chart from "Windy" showing strong SE winds for the next week

an underwater photograph of a coral bommie showing some bleached coral, some coral showing unusual fluorescent coloring (an indication of coral stress and that this coral may soon be bleached) and some unbleached coral. if conditions moderate all this coral may survive

dennis stanley @possibilize.bsky.social · 30/01/2024

It's not looking good for corals on the #GBR folks. The next 4-5 days are going to be very stressful corals; elevated temperature, low winds and low tidal movement (2nd - 4th feb) These look distressingly similar to conditions during the 2016 bleaching event reefhavens.pythonanywhere.com

Hi BlueSky. My first post! I've just fired up my GBR (great barrier reef) in water monitoring site again for this year ahead of this summer We are almost a degree below climatology & with low winds forecast are likely to see a rise in upper ocean temp i'll report regularly over summer

a chart that displays a time series of different paramaters affecting in water conditions on the great barrier reef; water temp @2.5m (red , with climatology shown in orange) , aggregate daily tide change (in green, its a proxy for the strength of tidal currents) , wind speed in blue (daily avg in lite blue, last 7day average in dark blue, forecast values marked with dotted lines (last 7 day wind speed is a rough proxy for the strength of wind driven upper ocean mixing))
