與此同時在澳大利亞

還記得幾天前的這些人嗎?這種非常昂貴的全球變暖胡扯必須停止。我們的星球正在冰凍,氣溫創歷史新低,而我們的全球變暖科學家們被困在冰中。——唐納德·J。

還記得幾天前的這些人嗎?

隨著“極端”和“歷史性”寒潮襲擊美國,人們很容易忘記現在是南半球的夏季。我們在澳大利亞的朋友們正在經歷一些相當,嗯,溫暖的氣溫。

澳大利亞部分地區的氣溫在未來幾天將接近 50°C,南澳大利亞北部地區已全面禁止用火,昆士蘭州則籠罩在一場持續一週的熱浪中。氣象局預測,南澳大利亞小鎮穆巴週四的氣溫將達到 49°C,而週三氣溫達到 47.7°C 的烏德納達塔也將升溫至 48°C。南澳大利亞鄉村消防局已將該州西北部和東北部地區的火災狀況評為“災難性”,來自前熱帶氣旋克里斯汀的強風加劇了火災狀況。

50°C 略高於 120°F。全球氣候變化是雙向的。既有極端寒冷天氣,也有極端炎熱天氣事件(以及一系列其他指標和影響)。
