"Blistering heat is a hallmark of summers in the west but this season has escalated much earlier than usual."

"Perth recorded its earliest December day above 40C on December 3, peaking at 41.6C in what was its hottest first week of summer on record.
The city has never recorded more than two 40C days in December, but that record will be challenged this week."

Here's some actual science about bushfire emissions.

Australia's bushfires have emitted 250m tonnes of CO2, almost half of country's annual emissions

I wonder if the Brazilians have been told this? [bigsad]

Rainforests cover almost 60% of the entire area of Brazil at 477 698 000 hectares, which is equivalent to 1 844 394 square miles or just under 3 million square kilometres. This means that Brazil is home to a third of the world's rainforests, making it one of the most intriguing and beautiful lands on earth.

What about the 'Curry?



Cloncurry lives up to town sign - ABC Western Queensland - Australian Broadcasting Corporation

What about the Curry? Beef, Lamb, Fish, Vegetable, Rat etc etc etc

Depends if you crush your own or use Vencatachellum.

It's not a real curry unless it's hot and spicy.

There used to a Curry Restaurant in Cairns (may still be there?) named "The Ring of Fire" I thought it most apt & to the point.[biggrin][biggrin]


No SH I didn't miss the point.[smilebigeye]

If you go Thai, ask for a real version of this one.
