Global Warming- New Records Set in Australia

Yesterday would have made the global warmers really happy with new temperature records set through most of Australia... except they were for coldest temperatures.

In tropical Darwin, the maximum was only 23 degrees C, in a city that is invariably 30 to 35 degrees all year around. It was the coldest June day ever and the second coldest on record.

Closer to home Glen Innes and Tamworth also set records for their coldest days ever- the mercury reaching just 3.8 degrees in GI, a full degree colder than the previous coldest day. Moree and other centres in northern NSW came within fractions of a degree of coldest maximum temperatures on record.

Looks like we need more CO2, not less! And NSW residents rose to the occasion setting a new record for electricity consumption!
