Strongest-ever El Nino? BS. Comprehensive

21 Sept
https://twitter.com/kenringweather/status/645711101129195521 The planet is doing fine. There is no problem. Let's do ourselves a favour and stop trying to make one up.
20 Sept
https://twitter.com/kenringweather/status/645485934830465024 After a wet Oct in NI, first half November should be dry for
most of NZ (20 days later and we're still on track)
19 Sept

17 Sept
https://twitter.com/kenringweather/status/644342088100741120 Southland can expect wet early summer, then dry Jan, then
average Feb. Cheviot gets good rain in second half of Nov. Then drought
resumes.
17 Sept
https://twitter.com/kenringweather/status/644329418626744321 Concern in NZ could be ear damage due to tsunami alarms. Wave takes 12 hours to get here. Large eqs also come to NZ

Re global warming and sea level rise, Hold a 2000C blowtorch above a pan of
water the water will boil and the level go down. A 2C blowtorch?

In 1998 NIWA said the sea level was rising at 1mm per year, which is 10cms per
century. What has changed their minds? Science not settled?
________________
https://twitter.com/kenringweather/status/625670908477202432
28 July
So sea level rising 3m per century? NIWA says 1m, Al Gore says 65m. If
can't agree how much rise, how are they certain it's rising at all?

Ken Ring @kenringweather 1st Q moon (24th) can tend to rain, fog,
cloud or tornadoes, usually before noon.
"Rain before 7 gone by 11" refers mostly to this phase..
