“Settled” Climate Science apparently needs a lot more hands on deck to help explain to us how doomed we are if we don’t spend taxpayer’s money on climate stuff.
More climate scientists urgently needed for Australia, academy says
Peter Hannam
Australia’s climate research is in “urgent” need of dozens more scientists to help prepare farmers, businesses and governments for the expected worsening effects of global warming, the Australian Academy of Science said.
The academy’s assessment, prompted by last year’s decision by CSIRO to axe as many as 100 of 140 climate scientists, identified 77 extra research positions that should be created in the next four years.
…
“Climate change is affecting and will affect every business and every bit of the environment in Australia,” said Trevor McDougall, an academy fellow and professor at the University of NSW, who led the review.
Professor McDougall cited uncertainty over how a warming climate will alter rainfall and evaporation in the Murray Darling Basin, the country’s biggest food bowl.
Only Australians would prioritise such a topic, he said: “That’s an issue models in the northern hemisphere won’t even look at.”
…
Interesting that “Northern” models aren’t expected to bother with climate change in the Southern hemisphere.
The earth’s climate is subject to hard thermodynamic constraints. Energy which powers extreme weather in one part of the world has to be deducted from the energy budget of other parts of the world, to make the sums balance. Global warming does not increase the power available to drive the heat engine which is the Earth’s climate – the power available to drive the Earth’s climate is pretty much fixed by the rate of energy delivered by incoming sunlight.
Ignoring an entire hemisphere would likely make it difficult to determine whether your apocalyptic regional model projections were violating global climatic thermodynamic constraints.
Some academy assessment claims a need for more “climate scientists”?
Government and grantors will just love such news.
Hire more desk bound bottom echelon parasitic fakirs to advise and counsel hard working farmers.
Yeah, that will go over big with the electorate. Higher energy and higher food prices and the same old weather.

Fixed the article (bold mine):
Yes, and academic leeches are taking over. This too is caused by climate change.
I thought they already solved this supply issue using psychologists, actors, and ex-politicos.
Australia really has the climate bug bad, it sure is the crash test dummy, how long will it go on? There seems to be a revolt coming, I hope.
And the media will go ape feces nuts when the people actually do rise up and drag these greenism hucksters into the streets.
I would think any politician, journalist, or anyone in one of the softer sciences could fill the need. They act as if they were climate scientists anyway.
“urgent need of dozens more scientists to help prepare farmers, businesses and governments for the expected worsening effects of global warming…”.
That’s easy money right there. They’ve handed you the script, but you can ad lib the details as you desire. More flooding events, more droughts, more fires, etc. etc.
The one requirement: lack of moral scruples. Essentially, you’d be a climate whore.
There are technical schools where this is taught. Here’s just one such popular institution:

The number one priority of any organization or group is to increase their empire. For government agencies they have to make themselves more important, or seem more important, to maintain and increase future budget levels. For private companies or organizations, they are going to put a guy in charge who will grow the organization, make them more money, keep the jobs of the people employed.
There is a documentary called “What the Health” that looks at the American Diabetes Association, American Cancer Society, and the American Heart Association, and asks their leaders why they condone diets that have been shown in study after study to cause diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. None of the spokespersons of these organizations have an answer, but the answer is clear, these organizations profit from more people getting the disease they were established to treat. If they found a away to prevent diabetes, cancer, or heart disease, then their entire empires would be gone. The same with climate scientists and the IPCC, if global warming is not an issue then there is no need for the IPCC and as we have seen lots of climate scientists are out of a job.
Early in the 20th century Polio was the world’s most feared disease. Then they developed a vaccine, great for humanity, but anybody making a living studying polio was out of a job. The worst thing that could happen to any of these large associations built to study a particular disease would be a cure for their disease. The worst thing that could happen to climate scientists is for all the pockets funding their studies and jobs to decide global warming is not an issue. So they must keep pumping out the “its worse than we thought” stories to build up their perceived importance.

You can see why Australia would need more “climate scientists”. All that tampering with and “modification” of temperature data is busy, hands on, labour intensive work!
“…Interesting that “Northern” models aren’t expected to bother with climate change in the Southern hemisphere…”
I don’t think that is what he meant. I think he meant “northern” as in models developed in the US, Canada, Europe, etc.
In any case, he hasn’t a prayer getting accuracy on the small scale he wants.
Ah, he wants Australian physics as opposed to English physics. An then models based on physics. BTW, how would you model a tornado on a 100×100 km grid?
I wonder though if more scientists like myself (Climatologist – a naysayer) are also required to balance the continued blind eye cast towards other possible causes of the recent warming- THE SUN! Thank-you Rod Chilton.
To paraphrase Knute Rockne, climate scientists are a dime a dozen, what we need are a few good ones who understand and practice the scientific method. The drivel that comes out of academia these days is mind boggling!
Australian Acad. of Sci.: Do you have climate science credentials?
Applicant: I have a PhD in Studies Studies.
AAS: Perfect. Can you do the laugh?
Applicant: Muhahahahaha!!!
AAS: Great. Don’t forget and do that in public. Sign here.
Well this answers my questions about end of climate alarm and jobs. With climate departments in universities puffed up over the brief decade of warmer weather, and legions of them in government and other institutions, to whom and what are they going to teach now that it’s over. It also answers my question about the flooding of the manly pursuit of climate science of late with female student researchers who will suffer personally the sustainability concept.
Bloodletting at CSIRO that canned 150 (one hundred and fifty!!) climaticians who argued themselves out of a job with the science is settled mantra were, in a way, lucky because they got first dibs on declining bank teller and insurance sales jobs. Not very lucrative but it spared them the tension of the climate blues neurosis that the Pause had inflicted and is poised for a part deux reprise over the next few decades. Just be sure to count your change and read the fine print closely at the bank and your front door.
The profs will segue into Anthropogenic G Kooling , of course, but that grift has already been done, and the Fakestream Media once bitten will be shy. Maurice Strong, who created this carnival is dead and what is left to carry on are largely useless idiots.
The brave new frontier of climate change intersectionality awaits. Not only does dog crap emit GHGs, rich dogs are eating beef which increases cow flatulence. UCLA geography professor and climate expert Gregory Okin went on Los Angeles TV and said so.

The northern and southern hemispheres have different weather patterns due to Earth’s wandering magnetic poles. Read this link and study the graphics. Then let’s have a discussion about Australia.

It sounds like someone has a son or daughter just about to graduate in global warming and needs a job.
How about my Bible studies teacher?
pochas94. A good Bible Studies teacher would have morals and be honest. There is no place in climate change for him.
More alarmist drivel from the Hannam.
