All the pollution in the world aint gonna stop the earths axis tilting.
My understanding is that this changes the climate to each extreme every 45000 to 50000 years.
In fact the Australian Aboriginies were living in Australia through the last one.
Theory was they kille all the mega fauna to keep warm(skins).
Well that's the story I made up anyhow.
What ever the theory, polution aint good.
Would you sh*t on your own dining table?!
I had a report of minus 8 at Armidale,
yet we have only had a minimum of 7 degrees this year.(perhaps 6 this morning!!)
20 to 30 years ago the winters were anywhere from zero to 5 at night here.

Hi
Something else for the chicken littles to worry about, with all the mining going on and taking tons of minerals for our continent and then moving them to another place in the world, with this put the earth out of balance?

Froze one of the panels on the hot water and popped a pipe today Lee. Now another bloody repair on the house rather than getting ready to drive to Valla! Should have isolated the panels last weekend. Too late to say shoulda now.🥲

I really believe it's called "winter"!! It's never been any different here in the Hawkesbury for the last 60 odd years that I know of. And summer?? No different there with temps to the mid 40s. 🙅

Daughter came off night shift at Tamworth VKG this morning and had a nice white Forester rather than black! She's still happy to have transfered from general duties to radio on these days even though she grew up in freezing Richmond.
Are you going to Valla and when? I'm going up that way on the Friday

Dave that is the best theory I have seen for quite a while,I was sure the kangaroos & koalas used to have a lot more mates with skins.When I was akid we used to have winters like this and still go out rabbiting at night or dawn,the frost was down & the small waterholes were frozen over, i can almost remember when the coins had bumblebees on them.🤪🤪
Perhaps we are getting softer as we didn't even have heaters or air conditioners in our classrooms back then.

I left home today with a jumper on jeze it was cold, tee shirt shorts and thongs after 9am......would live anywhere else

Mate how appropriate is your user name! LOL Mitchell
ryana89 ·
I think its been one of the warmest winters up here in Queensland.
Pretty much everyday has been a shorts, teeshirt and thongs day👍
Strangly though it was colder in Autum here, rather than winter?
I don't wanna experience anything under 10, and neither does my Golf!
18 year old fuel injection hates cold just as much as carbies🙄

I landed in Raleigh North Carolina on the weekend. 35 deg C in the day, 31 overnight. Bummed I'm missing that cold snap. Yeah right.

Agree, it has been cold, very cold.
But, least we can go outside, and look up @ a blue sky and sunshine
Think of those poor bastards, who live in Sweden during the winter!

Yeah, poor bastards, how cold would it be there at night with no sun in the day, and only those big blonde Swedish girls to keep you warm, now where's my passport. 😊
