Record Temperatures in Australia

Stop complaining.  Don't you know that it is just a Chinese Hoax?  Ask the WLB.

I'm not sure what sexy has to do with it but um thank you? Please don't assume that I don't understand the issue with the heat or that I'm not sympathetic to those that die in it. I simply said I prefer the extreme heat and would like to live where it is hot.

Here's a more astute analysis of the topic:

If planet wide temperatures hit 40 degrees C, it's all over with:

The sad thing is that when human civilization recognizes the gravity of anthropogenic global warming, it may be, at that point, too late to do anything about it.  The humans remaining would simply be forced to watch their planet die around them.  How sad!

Ooookkkkk it's like you aren't even listening to me so I'm going with you are just trolling and I'm done with his convo.

No, I replied to your thread that you actually enjoy 105 degree Fahrenheit temperatures, and granted, such may be the case when the humidity is low; however, as the temperature of the planet rises due to human-induced global warming, there will come a time when a 105F temperature is fatal, to any and all human beings (you included, if you're still alive to see it), not to mention other mammalian animals.

Its Summertime here and we now have the hottest Summer on record, 46 C yesterday (about 115 F) and about the same today.  No relief as my pool is like soup and the A/C has shit itself!

They have A/C in Australia ?


I'll be dammed.


Running water ?

Toilets ?

Legos ?

Yep.  We even have cold ales to keep us fit and looking good in the Summer heat!

There's more going for Australia than beer . . . .

46°C is insanely hot.  I'd ship you some of our extra snow but when it melted it'd probably turn the whole country into a steam bath and make things even worse.  Hope the weather gets better for you soon.

Because we don't get much of a summer in England I've made it one of my principles to never complain about how hot it is here.  If it ever reached 46 celcious though I'd probably complain.

I don't really understand how you'd even survive in that heat?  Don't you just burn instantly?  How do you even drive?  Won't the rubber on the tyres melt?  Do things like deoderant cans not just explode in that heat?

Yea I'm thinking 40 degrees C would be a problem since we've never seen an average annual global temperature in excess of 15 degrees C.

Eventually, it's destined to happen, regardless of what humans do:

Some skeptics like to compare the far past (say, 50 million years ago) when temperatures were 10C higher than they are today; however, the Sun was dimmer, if only so slightly, back then, and so, it's difficult to say how close the Earth got to the tipping point of none of us existing.
