Steele Redux,
Well, there you go, we've just had the thirteenth day this summer over 40 degrees, beating the 11-day summer record of 1896-7. And there's still three weeks to go. On the other hand, SA has some of the best and cheapest red wines in the world, and heat is what the grapes like. So it's not all bad news :) Cheers, Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 3:36:37 PM

Dear Joe,
So it has. And thankfully it seems to have hit only 41.6 Max rather than the predicted 43C. This still keeps the average temperature over the 12 days above 43C. Quite astounding really. And quite true about the cheap, very pleasant wines, however a bit expensive to put fires out with. A slight correction though, we are judging it against the 1897-8 summer season not the 1896-7 since there were only 3 days over 40 for that particular period. I do have to ask mate whether, as a person physically experiencing the sustained heat over the last couple of months, an occurrence like this gives you pause to doubt your position on global warming? If it doesn't I'm wondering what might it take? 15 days, 20 days? To be fair I would need to measure that against what it would take me to reassess my own position. I mean it is probably an argument to say that Adelaide's location on the underbelly of the centre exposes it to nasty heat waves and the impact of a small amount of warming, whilst not registering with other capitals, makes its presence felt in your city. Perhaps in a way Adelaide might turn out to be our 'canary in the coal mine'. Posted by SteeleRedux, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 5:07:36 PM

Hi Steele Ruddex,
Well, it certainly is persuasive: I had a singing gig today and standing high up at the back of a hall for an hour, in shirt and tie, dripping wet, focusses the mind wonderfully. Okay, I'm open to argument. After all, if there was some sort of 'global cooling' starting to happen, we wouldn't be breaking these records. And not just breaking them, but with an average of 43 as well. An outlier ? Feh ! One more day and I'll be a firm believer :) Cheers, Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 5:57:38 PM

Dear Joe,
Please bear in mind that even if global warming is occurring and EVEN if it is man-made, to reduce it by just one degree would require a reduction of about 80% of economic activity, which would bring the existing [over-]population to the bronze-age level or thereabouts (or the stone-age if you want to reduce 2 degrees Celsius). Your cave may be 1-2 degrees cooler, but with no air-conditioning. Posted by Yuyutsu, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 6:58:53 PM

with my deep freeze..of the whole north..[thats to allow the deceived to re think ww3]..its called operation interval.
[in the spirit realms]..but WE WAIT TO SEE IF HELL SHALL BE MOVING OR BE REPLENISHED..[read solar activity to resume..or not..[sunspots].
anyhow i know you got nuthin
compared to what the north now knows
hell needs her master decievers in hell
