Basically every year since 2016 it's been this slow boil. Even knowing it was the new normal, that this, and the associated fires, floods, etc. is going to continue for our lifetimes, it's still surprising to see it year on year.

There is a small dot in North Queensland that only has about 70% chance, what are they doing differently there?

Keeping a fridge well stocked with Great Northerns

There's also another 70% chance spot around what I assume is Sydney?

Time to start growing a rainforest in my backyard.

Tasmanian rainforests not helping I guess. Ouch.

So, I wonder how much a block of land on Antarctica will cost in about 5 years?

If it's anything like the rest of Australia, they'll probably be like 500k for a small patch of ice.

Ice? You’ll be lucky if it’s slightly damp.

12 months ago we had 2m of snow on the top of Mt Wellington in Hobart, today it's meant to be 17°, I know temperature fluctuates but we haven't even seen cold yet this far south

I don't like it.

Cool cool cool … or maybe warm warm warm is more appropriate 😔
