I think a lot of people are put off when they use the weather as a weapon to promote some gender they maybe trying to push for political or monetary gain. I personally remain neutral in the climate debate, but I do recognise that the weather has definitely changed.

I found it interesting in reading about the paradox of the warming temperatures is the extreme cold and massive snowstorms, then the complete opposite of record high temperatures, severe storms of all sorts, droughts fires and floods and everything else we experience or see on the news.






I agree with you Colmait that some people are using the changing weather for their own agenda and I found it is best to stay out of those climate change debates. I just like to observe and one of my observations is that we seem to be experiencing, even on a global scale, more extreme weather events.

After you posted the sentence above about the paradox between warming temperatures and extreme cold events, I did some searching on that subject and it is a very interesting thing to read about. One article quoted an atmospheric physics professor saying that the "Jet Stream is becoming more wavier" (source: https://centralalbertaon...wstorms-say-scientists). Being a weather novice I don't really understand all the physics of it but it is interesting to learn about and probably a good idea to keep up with what may happen climate wise in the future.

By the way another article mentioned a movie The Day After Tomorrow where climate change and warming lead to an intense snow storm. So I had to go and watch that movie BigGrin It seems like it is inaccurate in many ways (things happening in a short time span instead of decades) but it was very entertaining and certainly brings attention to our changing weather.

Looks like we are in for a warm day tomorrow with a maximum temperature for the Brisbane area of 35°C and as Colmait posted above, more showers. This the BOM forecast for today and tomorrow:
