That’s 41 degrees for everyone who doesn’t measure things in bird per gun.
I was like ok that’s hot but for a record?? Then I realize that it says winter.
We’re so fucked
Well that’s a relief; I thought we were having boiled Australia.
Many people seem to overlook that IT IS WINTER RIGHT NOW IN AUSTRALIA.
41°C / 107°F WINTER WEATHER.
That’s why this temperature is high.
Of course it’s not that high if you compare it to phoenix or some desert in the hight of summer.In my current part of Aus, the weather has shifted creepily warm over the past month. It feels like the weather skipped a month.
We’re literally cooked

Ughhh and here I am freezing my arse off down here. I’ll take a nice 40 over Antarctic winds, rain, and hail.
don’t worry, friend. it wouldn’t be long before that ice sheet has melted and the rest of the world is virtually set on fire.
we’ll all collectively give up mother earth so that you can keep your arse toasty warm.
If you take a look at geologic time, we’ve had huge climate swings… I think it’s far more likely that it’s just sunspot activity, or something just in the geologic eons of time where we have changes in the climate.
No, we haven’t had huge climate swings. Show me one graph with a similar swing in temperature.
My client crashed twice when trying to add a link in to my comment, and then I’m frustration I neglected to add it when it when I wrote it the third time. I have edited the comment to reflect the fact that it’s a direct quote from a climate denying senator. Apologies.
If you took a look at geologic time and understood it, you would be frightened with how quickly average temperatures worldwide have been increasing, which is how I know you’re full of shit and know nothing about geologic time
You are right and I agree with you. I quickly wrote that comment and I doing so failed to get across my sarcastic quoting of Republican senator Ron Johnson. I have edited the comment with the appropriate correction.
from the article in the OP:
The global warmth is linked to human-caused climate change and a powerful El Niño event, which ended in June.
do give it a read. it also refers to this abnormal set of temperatures being more of a trend over the past twenty years rather than a one-off event like sunspot activities.
i don’t quite see the point of ostriching ourselves into denying our part in climate change. all that does is absolve the large corporations that have accelerated it of any blame.
I didn’t format my comment to show it was a quote from Ron Johnson as Jerboa crashes time to time when adding a link to text, and I ignored formatting altogether the third time I tried to make the comment. I’ve edited it to include what should have been there in the first place.
