Is there anywhere in the article linked to above where AD directly blames what scientists would call climate change (increased carbon in the atmosphere, greenhouse effect) for the change in prevailing winds in Sydney this year?
Here’s his direct quotes from the article:
"We have seen wind velocities 34 per cent higher than the average of the last 30 years, and it’s a prevailing westerly rather than the south-south-westerly we’ve seen in the past,"
And
"That’s led to runway closures, meaning (aircraft) movements are slowed."
From what I can see this “story” is a media beat up, all he is saying is that there are more occurrences this year of a westerly wind occurring at YSSY necessitating the use of the single runway 25 instead of the parallels which would of course slow the flow rate down.
A lot of media figures with an agenda seem to be jumping on AD for nothing really.
