Data doesn't tell the truth either. Data is just points on a line.

What counts is interpretation and which statistical methods are applied to it.

As Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) said so profoundly:
"There are three types of liars: Liars, damned Liars and statisticians."

Do I trust your analysis over that of PhD climatologists worldwide including those at CSIRO? Buy yourself a stubbie because you already know the answer.

My basic take on what your wrote is that you have suspended the rules of physics. That warmer water has no affect on climate. That warmer water has no affect on storms. That the climate of the rest of the planet doesn't affect that in Oz. And I'm not willing to get drunk enough to agree anytime soon.
