I have lived in Sydney most of my life.
I know for a fact because I have lived through it that Sydney is a much hotter city to live on than it was earlier on (55 years ago).
Sure its always been a hot city but in the 60 and 70's a hot day was 95-100F now its 114.
40C + now is a fairly common occurrence in Sydney whereas it was quite rare back then.
Bureau of Meterology keeps the statistics. Last 13 of the past 15 years have been the hottest and of course Penrith set a new record last week at an insane 48.9C.
To think man who now numbers close to 8 billion, can burn fossil fuels all day long, cut down the forests and not have a flashback from nature is naïve.
Arguing about graphs or "science" does not go anywhere. It seems science can be twisted easily much like accounting.
Man is a polluter. The Aborigines go back 60,000 years and no pollution. Wow. We could learn a thing or two from them.
When you pollute there are consequences. Perhaps slow to appear, but they are there, especially long term. Man has never been good at seeing long term consequences until they are too obvious too ignore.
Not trying to be political and the politicising of the debate is not helpful either.
Greg.
