Nathan, Where do you live? I live on South East Australian coast and we haven't had a night above 12C or a day above 26 yet. Today it is 15C and cloudy. If the temperature rises on an average of 1.5C above the average it is not going to destroy civilization as some claim.

Hi Joe, we did the opposite, moved from Townsville to Bathurst.

One great thing about the tropics, you don't get chilblains riding to school in winter.

Wow, I've found another thing CO2 can do cure chilblains, what wonderful stuff.

Hi all...When I served overseas, firstly on the Malay/Thai border (1964/65) and later, in South Vietnam (1968), it wasn't the actual temperature that got you, it was the damn humidity.

Carrying weapons, ammo, and a heavy pack including water, on every contact point on your body, was blackened with sweat Consequently you'd get this horrible rash with it.

Can you acclimatise to hot temperatures? Yes, I can. What about tropical humidity? Even that, but much harder, and took longer for me.

I have been in Zambia and Malawi where the temperatures in Summer regularly hit 50C and cool off to the high 20s in winter.

People acclimatise.

I live in Gippsland at the foot of Mt Baw Baw but I spend my winter in SE Asia because it is twice as hot as Gippsland.
How do I survive.? I just do!
If princess primrose petal cannot take three degrees extra heat I suggest he toughens up. The nonsense you idiots put up with. What next, fear of dragons attacking us?

Just read a piece that trades persons can walk off the job at 28C. What snowflakes are we breeding? We did not walk off the job until it reached 40C. Work just had to be done, otherwise there was no income. That is what air-conditioning has done to our children.

Tradies will now be able to walk off the job and stop working when temperatures reach 28C - giving them another TWO WEEKS off each year
