The mercury could pass 50°C/122F in some parts of #Australia in the coming days. That is beyond the limits of human survivability for very long. What #temperatures will be reached over this landmass at 2C over global. It won't be comfortable for humans or nature.

"Some forecast models, per Weatherzone, suggest temperatures exceeding 50C in parts of the region, most likely to hit between Saturday and Tuesday."

@PGDynes Tasmania may become the only livable part.

@PGDynes 24c in Perth. Midsummer. Also you don’t seem interested in the record cold freeze in the North…

@PGDynes The visual hyperbole of blacks and purples etc to me marks this out as agitprop.

@PGDynes There’s a reason those parts of Australia are uninhabited already

@PGDynes Don’t worry, it happened before. The highest temperature ever recorded in Australia is 50.7 °C (123.3 °F), which was recorded on 2 January 1960 at Oodnadatta, South Australia, and 13 January 2022 at Onslow, Western Australia

@PGDynes “Look everyone it’s really hot in the desert sometimes, quick, stop eating meat, travelling, using Aircon, and pay loads more tax even though you already can’t afford to eat and maybe it might be ever so slightly less hot for 2 days a year for the 9 people who live there”

@PGDynes @John_On_Climate A natural sauna. Beers will sell well.

@PGDynes @oldhippy15 But in Alberta, we just had a week of -50c (also unsurvivable for long), so it averages out 👏🏻

@PGDynes All models, not actual temps so complete bollocks

@PGDynes And the polar ice caps “could” be melted by 2014…ask Al Gore….he’s a expert, also all polar bears “could” die?(many more now) all barrier reef coral “could” die (more now) “could”be no more snow….not here, over a foot right now, all of this “could” happen and maybe it won’t

@PGDynes "models". About as accurate as the IMF forecasts.

@PGDynes It's a fucking desert!! It gets hot there in the summer!!

@PGDynes The temperature in Redding's Costco Parking lot can exceed 140 degrees on a blistering hot day. But like the animals do, we take cover.

@PGDynes Particularly when "nature" will increasingly take out our viral infrastructure like it did on parts of WA last week, leaving regional towns with no power and escape from deadly heat

@PGDynes You know it hasn’t been a warm summer here dont you ?? Actually the last 5 or six have been very moderate Fuck off with your fear mongering

@PGDynes Still trying to see how the El Niño is working out in Australia with rain from Cairns to Melbourne and a monsoon trough right across Australia from Broome to Townsville?

@PGDynes Sincere question- does anyone live in the regions that will exceed 50C next week? It’s pretty remote, right?

@PGDynes Can you define "very long" more precisely please?

@PGDynes @kevhamm Hope they have the power supply, that’s v dangerous

@PGDynes 1909 was 51.6°

@PGDynes

@PGDynes It's Australia

@PGDynes Isn’t that part of Australia a desert?

@PGDynes You've effectively said nothing. Provide information, please. You have a platform, use it.

@PGDynes It’s gets hotter in Death Valley.

@PGDynes Oh wow, the hottest part of Australia gets hot during Summer. What a revelation. 🙄

@PGDynes 19 January 2024

@PGDynes Desert hot, make no sense. Maybe that’s why Aussies live around the edge of the country where the temperature is mid 20s - 30s

@PGDynes Rubbish. Have you ever checked the typical summer temperatures in #Riyadh ?

@PGDynes I lived in Alice Springs for seven years, during which time the temperatures got a bit crazy. My experience is that 40C, in an environment set up for it, is tolerable. Each degree beyond that becomes exponentially less tolerable. Even a 1.5C general rise in temp is horrifying 🥵

@PGDynes Demented alarmism. #ClimateCult

@PGDynes Could? How scientific!

@PGDynes They have large coal mines and they will cool down there😁
