Yep. Stuck in a bit of a rut atm, it feels and so much heat around the country. Half assed monsoon not helped by negative SAM. Some crazy temps to our west with Perth looking at a week of mass around 40C and minima in the mid teens. Horrible and possibly record breaking run, particularly at night.Gordon wrote: Sun Jan 19, 2025 9:57 am Nice to have at least something on the horizon again. Even a dust-settler would be welcome here.
Last year was the hottest on record, the year before that was the previous record. Last year had the highest global sea levels on record, the highest atmospheric humidity, the highest thickness values, the lowest glacier extent, the lowest sea ice extent and lowest volume ever measured by man. It’s been an impressive event for the US but so what? It doesn’t disprove global warming any more than a hot day in Perth proves it. Global warming is the warming of the planet over decades, now amounting to +1.5C.stevco123 wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2025 10:57 am Just putting this here, since the same would be done if it was a record heat/fire event despite being thousands of kilometres away. Deep snow on a beach in Florida, despite being told such events won't be happening again as recently as 2013
Yeah, yeah, i know. It's not that they won't happen, but when they do happen they'll be more extreme. Sorry, but the newspaper clipping i have clearly says it shouldn't happen again.
