Yesterday was Australia's hottest day on record, according to

preliminary data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

The average maximum temperature across the country was 40.9 degrees
Celsius, breaking the mark of 40.3C set in January 2013, but it's a
record unlikely to last for long.

This week, where some of my wife's family live, there will be two days
at a temperature of 43C ( 109.4 F) with most other days in the high
thirties.

Some areas have hit 50C (122 F).

Fifty degrees sounds like a nice fall day. They should stop worrying.

Yeah, a nice day for fainting in the heat and falling over (I don't

know about it being nice though) :-)

90 or 95 is hot. 50 is cool but just warm enough that I don't need a
jacket.

But how old are those records? Couple hundred years at the outside if that?

The climate hucksters have their argument sewn up: If it's unusually
hot this is because of global warming, if it is unusually cold this is due to
global warming, if it is too wet this is due to global warming, if it is
too dry this is due to global warming, if there's too much snow this is due
to global warming, if there is too little snow this is due to global warming,
if there are more hurricanes this is due to global warming, if there are
fewer hurricanes this is due to global warming, if there are too few polar
bears this is due to global warming, if there are too many polar bears
this is due to global warming; etc., etc. ad nauseum.

Key is "133-yr". Been there before; will be again. Wasn't that long
ago I recall hearing new "record" lows, too.

The Ocean Is Getting More Acidic€”What That Actually Means

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/n...e-environment/

Polar ice caps melting 9% every 10 years
NASA has estimated that the polar ice caps are melting 9% every ten
years, which is an extremely alarming rate. If the temperature on earth
continues to rise at its current rate the Arctic will have no ice by
2040. The Arctic ice cap has decreased since the 1960s by as much as 40%

Think Greenland's ice sheet is small today? It was smaller€”as small as it has ever been in recent history€”from 3-5,000 years ago, according to scientists who studied the ice sheet's history using a new technique they developed for interpreting the Arctic fossil record.

"What's really interesting about this is that on land, the atmosphere was warmest between 9,000 and 5,000 years ago, maybe as late as 4,000 years ago. The oceans, on the other hand, were warmest between 5-3,000 years ago," said Jason Briner, PhD, University at Buffalo associate professor of geology, who led the study.

You're right, one event does not make the climate. But we have good evidence
that the global temperature is rising and has gone up about 1C in the last
century and that atmospheric CO2 levels have gone up by a third and are
now higher than they have been in 700,000 years. We also know that previous
rises took tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to rise
that much. This one took place in 100 years, corresponding with man
burning fossil fuels. The above is agreed to by virtually all climate
scientists around the world. It seems to me a very good idea to continue
to take more steps to limit further increases. Trump's idea and apparently
you agree, is that we should refuse any worldwide cooperation in those
efforts and instead burn more coal.
