Steve..see above..that’s a proper conspiracy, get with the programme mate, move with the times, your audience needs a giggle, give us some aliens...you missed a golden opportunity with the Prince Phillip crash...you could have reminded us that he was a shape shifting lizard alien and that he started moulting and lost control of his Range Rover...now that’s how to do a conspiracy!
Of course, I predicted this four years ago but I can't find the thread now so can't prove it.
Re: Massive europe snowfalls..is this global cooling?
The record for Australia's all-time highest overnight temperature was smashed last night, just one of the marks to fall in what is becoming a heatwave for the history books.
Dr Blair Trewin, senior climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, said a minimum of 35.9 degrees Celsius was recorded at Noona, between Wilcannia and Cobar in western New South Wales, while 35.6C was measured at Borrona Downs.
"Both of those broke the previous record which was 35.5C set in 1982 in Arkaroola, South Australia, and was equalled in 2003 at Wittenoom in WA."
Part of a dangerous trend
Hot nights can be dangerous because the body can't recover from scorching daytime temperatures and it prevents people getting a restful sleep.
Internationally, it has been observed that night-time temperatures are increasing at a faster rate than daytime temperatures.
Minimum temperatures have been increasing in Australia for the past 50 years, and according to the CSIRO the number of warm nights is expected to continue to rise.
