Pooncarie in western NSW had a maximum temperature of 49.7 °C on Tuesday - equal second highest on record in NSW. Menindee recorded the same value and Wilcannia reached 50.1 °C in January 1939.

Victoria has officially recorded its hottest temperature ever in the town of Hopetoun in the state's north west.
At 4.04pm this afternoon, Hopetoun's temperature soared to 48.9ºC, beating the previous record of 48.8ºC in the same town during the Black Saturday bushfires.
This is climate change.

Current temperatures in the Mallee are the highest ever recorded in VIC. Several long-term, all-month temperature records have been broken at stations across southern Australia on Monday and Tuesday, with the heatwave ongoing in the east.

For 50 years, global warming had a very consistent trend (+0.19 °C/decade) with a boring, predictable range of natural variations around it.
During the last three years, we've broken out above that range, suggesting the pace of change has quickened.

Trump on Greenland: If we don't do it the easy way, we're gonna do it the hard way. By the way, I'm a fan of Denmark. The fact they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. We'll be doing something with Greenland—the nice way, or the more difficult way.

The Media Is Complicit in the Climate Confusion
The vast majority of people want their governments to take climate action—but most wrongly think they’re in the minority. The media is partly to blame.

CO2 levels in Earth's atmosphere jumped by a record amount in 2024
The global average concentration of CO2 surged by 3.5 parts per million to reach 423.9 ppm last year, fuelling worries that the planet’s ability to soak up excess carbon is weakening
