There is a small dot in North Queensland that only has about 70% chance, what are they doing differently there?

I looked at GMaps and it's the Daintree area, mostly national parks and bushland throughout.

Trees and natural formations moderate climate?

How did scientists miss this? /s

Urban planners are going to be very upset.

Keeping a fridge well stocked with Great Northerns

There's also another 70% chance spot around what I assume is Sydney?

Worimi National Park area, also rainforest.

Time to start growing a rainforest in my backyard.

You joke but it would take a couple of degrees off. If, for whatever reason, the soil was naturally moist, maybe even a few more thanks to transpiration.

I used to plant urban trees for a living so we would rattle off all the stats about temperature control, increased property values etc in the urban landscape and get back "WHAT ABOUT THE LEAVES!!".

Always hated that comeback when talking about trees around peoples houses, not like raking them up is the end of the world and neither is clearing out your gutters from time to time.

Tasmanian rainforests not helping I guess. Ouch.

Basically every year since 2016 it's been this slow boil. Even knowing it was the new normal, that this, and the associated fires, floods, etc. is going to continue for our lifetimes, it's still surprising to see it year on year.

We are frogs in a saucepan.

So, I wonder how much a block of land on Antarctica will cost in about 5 years?

[-] Nonameuser678@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

If it's anything like the rest of Australia, they'll probably be like 500k for a small patch of ice.

[-] syntacticmistake@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Ice? You’ll be lucky if it’s slightly damp.

12 months ago we had 2m of snow on the top of Mt Wellington in Hobart, today it's meant to be 17°, I know temperature fluctuates but we haven't even seen cold yet this far south
