This is staggering. The average national temperature was broken on consecutive days, by a total of 3°F. I am a pessimist regarding the climate and I'm shocked by this.

To give a sense of the scale of this, I've spent the last few days coughing because of the smoke from a wildfire that's burning 500 miles upwind of me. And summer has only just started.

Here in Adelaide, South Australia, we could have had a record high minimum temperature (Actually we kind of did, West Terrace vs Kent Town), however a short burst of slightly cooler air at about 10:30pm of around 33C has masked the fact that the morning low temperature was 35C. This is probably more typical of the desert, but we're on the coast.

Now more than ever a change in the way large-scale agriculture is done in Australia needs to be rethought, as this, in large part, is responsible for the inability of the land to respond to climate change. cf Charles Massy

Conservatives believe that nature is designed such that it is impossible for unregulated modern industry to impact it in ways that would be harmful to the human race.
