Urgh ...

It is 37C here today, which is 98.6 in Fahrenheit. I believe we may have sorbet for dinner. There is STILL A MONTH OF SPRING TO GO. Apparently, I am going to die in summer, alas.

And if there are any anthropogenic climate change deniers out there, just keep it to yourself as I am liable to blow steam out of my ears at the moment. I miss the days of simple El Niños ...

I hope the dessert bar has council approval. And opens soon. And is full of iced desserts and a wee bit of air-conditioning. I'm happy to pay extra for their carbon offsets!

I'm so glad it's only about 20 degrees here right now.

ETA: On a climate change note... I remember a scientist in my climate change class saying the current weather was actually due to an El Niño, not due to climate change. I might be remembering it wrongly though. I remember lots of colourful graphs and complicated words.

It's both. There is currently an El Niño effect affecting the east coast of Australia, however, it has been both caused by and exacerbated by (over the period of data gathering) statistically unlikely but (now) increasingly regular high water temperatures.

That's the climate change problem when trying to break it down simply: it doesn't. The systems are necessarily interactive, which is why Greenpeace piss me off nearly as much as those who say there's no Climate Change.

They promise me a cool change is coming ...

I hope you get your cool change! *blows cool air over from Canberra*

Thank you! I can hear the wind picking up!
