You can make that argument. But it is a fact that the prevailing westerlies have been stronger and more frequent this year in YSSY and that has necessitated the use of R25 more often, slowing the flow rate. Any discussion around that fact and how to mitigate it (increased use of 16/34 in crosswinds, curfew dispensations, speeding up building the second airport) got very quickly drowned out by the usual “it’s all a hoax” deniers who appear on any thread where the words climate change are mentioned.
