Taiwan is very humid in the summer..



But, I couldn't imagine what fifty degrees must feel like.


Not much different than 45c....

Taiwan doesn't get forty five degrees either..



Maybe thirty eight in the Southern part of the country.

I was watching a massive climate protest in Sydney. It was on the CBC, so they put their spin on it. According to the CBC, Australia's fires will continue to get worse because of Australia's rounding error contribution to C02 emissions. We pay $1.2 billion per year for that propaganda machine.

Aussie PM wants bushfire inquiry



MELBOURNE — after weeks of criticism over the handling of the bushfires scorching australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Sunday he will propose a national review into the response to the disaster, as the fires claimed another firefighter's life.



The australian bush has been burning for nearly three months and the fires have killed 28 people, claimed 2,000 homes and consumed millions of acres of land and wildlife. The crisis is becoming increasingly political as the country looks at the causes and the government's response.



"There is obviously a need for a national review of the response," Morrison said in an interview with ABC television.



asked whether it should be a royal Commission, a powerful judicial inquiry, Morrison said, "I think that is what would be necessary and I will be taking a proposal through the cabinet to that end, but it must be done with consultations with the states and territories."



Morrison said that the inquiry would examine the response to the crisis, including the deployment of emergency services to battle the fires at a state and local level, the role of the federal government, and the impact of climate change.

Climate change is thrown in there just to appease the progs. The fires were started by arsonists, and I believe at least some were alarmists. Alarmists are the reason there is so much fuel on the ground and why there's no cleared paths to get around fires. They should be looking at the impact of prog alarmists. Better yet, they should jail every elected Green in the country.

They look like giant carrots or a tiny wallaby.

Australia's koala population has taken such an extraordinary hit from the wildfires sweeping the country that the marsupial could be classified as endangered in some areas. I read NSW has lost thirty per cent of it's koala population.
