How fast the temperature changes in australia.

Been in mackay for the last few days and boy is it humid,hot, bloody hot,
On the way up had rain all the way from Gold Coast to just north of rocky,

I lived in mackay for 16 years and it was never this hot.

Wake up with sweat dripping off your body,yuk,

Australia isn't that small, we're the 5th largest country in the world, by land mass, excluding Antarctica which isn't a country.
But if You believe in climate change well that may be responsible for the variations in temperature change recently.dunno confused

I really think it is a little more than climate change,

I can remember the weather when i was younger in melbourne when winter was winter with frost and ice at time's ,you could slide on the ice which had formed on the grass or footpath's,summer was summer hot ,for those who can remember it has changed .there are a few factor's that are different now to then including more pollution and many more satellite's

I am no scientist , geologist ,or any thing like that,

So I can not say, but I think it is more,look at the rise in sea levels, the islands around the world that have all but disappeared, the amount of volcanic activity,australia getting tornadoes,
The list goes on, may be a large pole shift,even though the pole is in constant shift it would not justify so much change in our climate.

I can remember having to run warm water over the water pipes to unfreeze them,
Yes summer was hot but not as hot as it has been, It is not a change for the better,

North koreas nuclaer test would not have helped,as well as france britains nuclear tests prior,damaging atmospheres.Not just chloroflourocarbons.fossil fuels,volacnic activities more detrimental then methane emissions as well.
Just plant some trees,stop supporting destroyers of earth we can all make a difference in numbers.
