'Extreme weather'....a few years back we were saying how summers weren't as hot as they used to be. Now, we get a big one and it's extreme. Its a really hot day.

Meanwhile in Melbourne it is 18.7 & in East Gippsland Bairnsdale is sitting on 27, Orbost 21.7. Such are the contrasts in an Australian summer, as has always been the case.

Sure 'temperature records are tumbling' when you've got the Ministry of Truth erasing historical temp data collected prior to 1910. This is nothing more than shameful pseudo-science perpetrated by the B.O.M.

Record 47..and still there are people who don't believe in Global warming

Keep them in fear, hype, hype, sell, sell.
