That's a weak correlation at best. What about when it's still weather in winter? It's not unusual at all.

Thats the question this guy asked, using actual weather data to power his models instead of carbon industry fluff.

Unfortunately the instinctive skeptical reaction to this is not "here's an alternative model and alternative data" but "here's even more FUD".

I appreciate the link, but Australia is an almost entirely tropical/subtropical country, with Sidney being as far from the equator as Northern Africa. I don't believe that analysis can tell you anything about Northern Europe.

This means that solar power output is much more seasonal, and most critically, power consumption in Northern Europe is highest during the winter months. I expect this is not the case for Australia.
