8 days into the month and the initial read on global SST shows the
potential new La Nina is not knocking the sea surface temps back by
much. A normal La Nina cools the world a mighty .05C from where it
would have been in neutral conditions; an El Nino warms it by the same
amount. But we're continuing to see La Nina's in the 21st century
regularly warmer than the warmest El Ninos of the 20th Cent.
This plot shows it all:
The warmest El Ninos -- about every 15y -- are steadily getting warmer
(they are easy to spot by eye because they run along the top part of
the plot). The biggest La Ninas every approx 15 y and running near
the bottom of the plot also show a warming trend. Big surprise
eventually the smaller La Ninas start to beat the average El Nino and
as we get further into the 21st cent even the biggest 20th cent El
Nino of 1998.

BREAKING (9 Oct): The Business Council of Australia has reversed its
position on bigger climate pledges. In the 80s and 90s it said
fighting climate change was "an economy wrecker" and refused to back
measures such as the Gillard govt's carbon tax. Now it says Australia
should pledge to net 0 by 2050 and up its ambitions on a range of
other measures because it makes economic sense.

BREAKING (9 Oct): NSW has recorded another 11 deaths from covid over

["Keeping People Safe":]
BREAKING (9 Oct). NSW had recorded another 580 cases of Delta in the
past 24 hrs. In a growing trend, deaths have not been reported.
There are more than 800 people in hospital with the disease and almost
200 in intensive care.
[In a press conf the new Premier kept arguing his changes to "the
roadmap", that will see NSW open up on Mon, are "small" and "modest".
Unfortunately, with chaotic systems the response of the system to even
small changes can be dis-proportionate. The experts are worrying with
10+ people a day dying from Delta -- a significant fraction of them
fully vaccinated and a larger fraction partially vaccinated -- plans
to allow dozens of people to congregate in restaurants is too soon and
even conservative newspapers are asking what is wrong with Prem Perrottet].
