Summer's End

I would rate the summer just gone as mild in terms of lack of really hot days. There may have been one day over 40 but overall no bushfire emergencies and maybe a couple of total fire bans.

This is a graph from NASA showing temperatures since they started recording them in 1880.  It throws a lot of doubt onto the whole global warming thing. If you can trust this graph there are 4 time frames of around 30 yar each. Two show temperature going down and two going up and no increase in temperature this century.  You would think the last 15 years would be the most accurately measured and no sign of global warming there.
