As a former geography teacher I've always had a great interest in maps and charts representing weather and climate. This evening I was horrified to learn that the Bureau of Meterology is adding a new colour to their interactive weather forecasting chart, the scale on the maps has been extended to include temperatures above 50 degrees celcius.
Climate change is not an issue? Climate change is not really happening? When the conservative scientifically-driven BOM extends its temperature scale we have a serious problem.
You can read more about it here at the Sydney Morning Herald site.

Oh Rose! I saw that map and was going to write the exact same post! Scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me that no matter how much info you give people they continually bury their heads in the sand. we when their butts get burnt off maybe then they will listen.
