We look at the latest BOM data, and consider the implications in the context of the current politicisation of climate change and bush fires debate.
With the help of an article from the Conversation, we examine some of the underlying issues.

A friend sent me this yesterday , I offer it for your perusal
G’day Friend,
The Earth is getting hotter and hotter. We have to turn off the gas before our world catches fire.
The science is uncontested; the implications undeniable. Mining unconventional gas creates massive, uncontrolled, unmeasured, landscape-scale venting of methane into the atmosphere.
This link – https://youtu.be/1hNM6rDsSd8 – will take you to our new YouTube video, The Crime of the Ancient Gas Fracker:
Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s 1798 poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, tells the story of a sailor who unleashed supernatural horror when he shot an albatross.
Set in the year 2050, The Crime of the Ancient Gas Fracker reworks Coleridge’s classic to warn of the future that awaits if the gas frackers’ assault on Mother Nature goes unchecked.
This is a cautionary tale. Mother Nature and her dependants are under deadly attack, but the future is not set. Our actions will determine what kind of world we leave to those who follow.
Feel free to distribute the YouTube link to others who might be interested. You can also copy and share the video provided you reproduce it in full and do not use it for commercial purposes. And if you think the poem worthy, please click the ‘like’ button.
Cheers,
Wayne and Susan Somerville
