Another hot day in australia, and another lot of bushfires, you don't have to wait for them nowadays, if the news says there's a high fire danger, then enviably there'll be a fire, and every year it gets worse, the winters are getting drier, the summers getting hotter and people getting more and more inclined to set the things... not really going anywhere with is, just pondering, all very depressing really

FangsNfeet -> RE: Burning (10/12/2006 4:45:17 AM)
That's life for you. I remember years back when scientist, geologits, and weather experts predicted that Australia would eventialy become a dessert due to its global location, the earths axis, and because the contenant slowly but surely moves south each year. In theory, some 30 to 300 thousand years from now, Australia and Antartica are suppose to switch places.

evyy -> RE: Burning (10/12/2006 4:56:37 AM)
Australia is a desert, however someone got it pretty wrong, Australia is moving northward, at about the same rate human fingernail grows, the Indo-Australian plate is breaking up due to the strain of India colliding with Asia, a newly forming Australian plate should (probably is) subside under the Indian/Asian one and the continents will eventually collide. Contents couldn't switch place, they move against each other, or into each other, not through each other

FangsNfeet -> RE: Burning (10/12/2006 5:02:19 AM)
It was a while back ago. Either way, Australia is still moving and that is the primary reason for the climate change. Mega Disasters on the History Chanel has predicted how Sydney can and will go down in flames.

evyy -> RE: Burning (10/12/2006 5:10:16 AM)
well that's good to know, glad we can count on mega disasters and the history channel, though if you look at the magnitude of the effect that continental drift could have over such a small time frame, it clearly can't be responsible for climate changed observed. especially as it would cause a change opposite the that which is occurring, unfortunately it always comes back to a raise in greenhouse gases.

I feel for you, I hate the heat and could never live in Australia, but I would like to visit maybe in the winter. Does it ever go below 70 degrees there? ~Lashra

evyy -> RE: Burning (10/12/2006 5:53:22 AM)
70 degrees? just let me check the conversion... 21C, okay, and yes it does, in fact it even snows in what we call mountains, sometimes enough to ski on, or that's the idea. In Sydney winter is quite cold, 17-18C (62-64) average maximums, though it gets colder in Melbourne, and bloody freezing in Tasmania. today was 29 (84) but that’s unusual for this time of year. i do love the colder weather though, spent some time in Boulder Colarado during winter, it was amazing, and the snow... the wonderful wonderful snow

LaTigresse -> RE: Burning (10/12/2006 7:44:04 AM)
It is currently 30 degrees here in Iowa USA, too damned cold for mid October, of course in January when it is -20 degrees I will think 30 is tropical. Send us some heat and I will send some cold![:D]

Yes, it is global warming

There looks to be no winter drought forcast in TX as there was last year. Mother Earth is just doing her thing.

Is Australia not directly under the hole in the ozone layer? I have a good friend who lives there, he is always either burning up or freezing cold.

Fangsfeet - thought you might like this: Clmate change Australia - 120 million sheep and 30 million cattle producing 30 litres of methane each day per sheep and 250 litres per cow, this equates to 12.3 per cent of Australias Greenhouse Gas emissions in 2002. Is this man made climate change or natural !!!!!!!!!!!!! ps US emisions are of course..bigger..............

A hole in the ozone layer don’t cause increases in temperature, only increase in UV radiation and of course climate change is happening, but there’s so my bs out there from people who are determined to ignore scientific fact that i don't normally bother arguing with people about it, its like trying to convince a creationist of evolution, if someone really don’t want to know, and they have enough people happy to tell them what they want to hear then they'll never chose to listen to something else, no matter what the facts are

New Zealand would be more directly under the ozone hole than Australia [:)] I'm from NZ originally, now live in Sydney. It is hotter here in summer than where I'm from but I find it is a drier heat. I am getting more acclimatised now (almost 3 summers later) but still find temperatures over 35C (95F) hard to take. In NZ over 30C (86F) was awful but the humidity is worse there - icky sticky! The winter just passed, the coldest day in Sydney was about 12C (54F). When I lived in NZ we got frosts one winter of -7C (about 20F). The water pipes froze, the ground was rock hard and I had the woodburner going 24/7 to try and keep us warm! 12C was a picnic considering......plus even though we get rain in Sydney it's nothing like NZ where it rains probably 2/3 of the year[;)][:D]

No rabbits have more efficient digestive system and so off gas less........... ............
