What a bombshell. We hear non-stop about the new extreme heat, yet the
original data at 60 of the oldest sites across Australia shows there are
no more Very-Hot-Days now than there were early last century. That’s no
trend in 40 degree days for 100 years — none at least, until the Bureau
of Meteorology adjusts the data… After we were shocked at the latest
ACORN changes to our Very Hot Days data, I
Watch this. There’s no electricity involved, and also no smart

In NSW fires continue to burn, and with more hot weather is forecast.
Some farmers are burning off for themselves, not waiting to be saved by a
bucket of rain from a plane. There’s a total fire ban in NSW, so this
