Lucky? You sound like a bear. You just got to where you are cause you got "lucky". I rad the market when Istarted investing in Sydney at the bottom of the last cycle in 2006), after the peak of 2003, and flat period of 2004-2006. While the bears here were calling a property bubble, I got "lucky" in another 40-50% up property cycle to the end of 2013, in a boom property cycle that was always going to happens. I got "lucky" with a few quick buy/sells around the country as well. Gladstone was the best I've done on any one property. Got a house for $320K in 2010, and then sold 2 yrs later for $570K. No luck there really. Just research, and being ahead of the curve of investors, and the mass of dumb prebs who wait and buy at the top of market. Like the fools who are still buying in Sydney now at the peak, and with 15-20% falls coming though to 2018 once interest rates start rising.
See ya fool. And chill on you alarmist global warming. We are heading into a cooling period the 2020's and 2030's with weakening solar activity. Excellent catch Strindberg. Completely proves that Kulganis does NOT know how to read the graphs, and what anomalies mean. This twits appears to think that the anomaly is cumulative, and shows the temperature rise from the previous year. IT IS NOT Kulganis, you complete twit. The anomaly means the different between the current temperature, and the average it's measured against. Usually the graphs take this (depending the graph) as the average between period (1980-2008).
COMLETE MORONS on this forum. holy crap, I've never come across such halfwits before. Kulganis, you've just proved you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. QED..
Kulganis , the graph even says "DEPARTURE FROM 81 - 10 average (1981-2010 average). The attached is the land anomaly only - +0.33deg C in May 2014.
The attached is the land and ocean anomaly combined - +0.76deg C in May 2014.
Again why are we dealing with such a small data set??
35 years??
PeterScam alert, give me all your money fools and i will make to global greenhouse gassed up monster go away. Peter
I agree, the sun is our only external source of meaningful energy and it will not be an exact constant, but that neither supports or negates shadows point. How old is our solar system again?
And he is pointing to a seventeen year time frame.
It proves nothing either way does it.
I agree.
I really really wanted to be homophobic, anti-semitic, and believe in hair brained conspiracy theories and flying saucers, but it just wasn't in me.
97% of climate scientists agree human activity is driving climatic change but 97% of Australian sofa spuds deny this because if accepted by government and acted on in earnest would mean serious changes to the amount of electricity they use, petrol they burn, and trees they cut down to build new housing estates.
Of the 30% of the earth's surface that was covered by rainforest in 1950, only 7% remains and clearing is still ongoing. Humans it seems are self destructive in any collective social system they create. It explains why every empire that ever rose to power eventually collapsed into anarchy. Generally when they had exploited their local biosphere and ran out of food.
Pathetic. And the basic reason why I reject modern society and 97% of the people in it. You are all just lemmings rushing to your destruction. Thankfully there is a solution. And it can't come quick enough in my opinion.
Martin Armstrong Warns Civil Unrest Is Rising Everywhere: "This Won't End Pretty"
The greatest problem we have is misinformation. People simply do not comprehend why and how the economic policies of the post-war era are imploding. This whole agenda of socialism has sold a Utopian idea that the State is there for the people yet it is run by lawyers following their own self-interest. Even confiscating all the wealth of the so-called rich will not sustain the system. Consequently, we just have to crash and burn and start all over again
97% of climate scientists agree human activity is driving climatic change
Incorrect. I see you've fallen for the 97% consensus lie too.
The truth is that a group of alarmists from Skeptical Science reviewed a cherry-picked subset of papers, and then claimed that 97% of those abstracts said climate change was mostly man made. Many of the authors of those papers disputed the alarmists' interpretation of their work.
The truth is only half of experts think climate change is man made...
The chart you are referring to does not show warming over the last 15 or so years. It shows that global temperatures have been around the same temperature anomaly (~0.5 degrees) for that period. No warming - zilch.
Your statement indicates the you have been under the moronic delusion that temperature anomalies on such charts indicate annual temperature rises. They do not. They indicate the absolute change for the respective year with respect to a fixed reference temperature. No change in the temperature anomaly from year to year indicates no change in absolute global temperature. You really must be cringing at your own revelation of your own ignorance.
You have made a enormous cock-up. You have lost your last tiny shred of credibility. You and we now know that you have spent the whole time on this subject talking dribble through your arse.
It's ironic how Kulganis revealed his misunderstanding of the charts while accusing me of not reading them correctly.
It was a huge error to make. It means he has just spent days arguing about data he didn't actually understand.
No wonder he abandoned the thread with these final words...
'You know what? You win, I give up, this is pointless. Have fun. (note, I don't agree with you, I just can't be arsed arguing about it)'
Followed by posting a Youtube clip called 'The Age of Stupid' which I assume was a reference to his own error.
You're just a lemming shadow. A lemming with a mountain of debt in a world piled high with unpayable debt. When it all collaspes you will be stuck in the middle of Australia's largest city with nothing but your furniture your car and the clothes in your wardrobe. They will eat you alive lol.
Shadow was hopelessly wrong about the Gold Bull Market. What else is he wrong about?

What has any of this got to do with the topic? Are you just venting?
Public opinion often turns against a new technology or development even if the science behind it is sound. Researchers who study public attitudes to science used to think that providing more facts and figures – increasing knowledge – was the way to improve public engagement with science. This approach is known as the ‘deficit model’ of science communication – it was assumed that opposition to a particular scientific development was based on a deficit of knowledge (Irwin & Wynne, 1996). However, it soon became clear that many of the arguments about ‘scientific’ controversies (e.g. disputes over GM crops) were not really about ‘science’ at all, and climate change is no exception.
Dan Kahan and his colleagues at Yale University have shown that people’s positions about scientific topics tend to be driven by their political ideologies and worldviews (Kahan et al, 2010). So it is no surprise that apparently neutral, uncontroversial scientific reports (like those published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) have acted as a lightning rod for disagreement. For an individual who supports co-ordinated international action to tackle climate change, what could be more compelling than a consensus statement from an international body of independent scientists? For someone inclined to perceive international regulations as a threat to trade and industry, an international report that speaks of consensus is likely to set alarm bells ringing. The facts are the same in both cases: the interpretation very different.
nderstanding that climate change scepticism will not be overcome by a more forceful presentation of the science is a critical first step. A lot of valuable communication time will continue to be wasted on explaining the science of climate change over and over again to a group of people who have already heard everything they need to hear. Of course people need to know about the science of climate change – but once they know about it and choose to reject it, explaining it to them louder is unlikely to do much good.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
