DOOM AND GLOOM AGW ALARMISTS WRONG AGAIN: AUSTRALIA'S WINTER HAS BEEN COLDER AND WETTER

THE LEFT-WING ECO-NUTSIES ARE WRONG AGAIN: THEY PROMISED MORE HEAT AND DROUGHT DOWN UNDER, BUT AUSTRALIA HAS GOTTEN COLD AND WET:

MUCH of southeast Queensland shivered in freezing temperatures overnight - but cloud banks over Brisbane ensured the city was spared the worst of the weather.

In Brisbane's CBD the mercury fell to 7.2 degrees Celsius, while the airport weather station recorded 5.4 degrees and in the west Amberley hit just 1.4 degrees.

Oakey and Applethorpe both recorded sub-zero temperatures - of -0.3 and -2.1 respectively - but the mercury stayed on the right side of zero in Warwick (0.1), Roma (0.2), and Charleville (0.3).

... Brisbane dams are now holding more water than any time in the past three years, with the average storage level just below 41 per cent.

That level is expected to climb higher after last week's rain, which continued to feed the Wivenhoe, Somerset and North Pine dams.

"Unexpectedly the three dams are continuing to get inflows," an SEQWater spokesman said.

"But we do not think the level will get much above 41 per cent."

When the average passed 40 per cent last week it triggered a relaxation of tough level 6 water restrictions.

Southeast Queensland residents can now wash cars and houses and water gardens for 30 minutes at weekends.

Personal daily consumption can increase from 140 to 170 litres but authorities expect people will continue to use much less.

Since January, Wivenhoe has registered 486mm of rain while Brisbane has received 721mm.

BOTTOM-LINE: DON'T EVER BELIEVE ANYTHING A LEFTIST TELLS YOU: THEY'RE WRONG ABOUT ECONOMICS, POLITICS AND METEOROLOGY.

THE WHOLE BIG AGW SCAM WAS DESIGNED BY THE LEFT TO RAISE TAXES.
