Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I agree our media is incredibly controlled.

However, this summer didn't feel different, it got to 45C as normal in Perth, the heatwaves did not feel longer or worse.

Maybe we're frogs in water but I'd say such an article would not engage the public

Here in Brazil it has been fucking hell - way hotter than the average year and unbelievably hotter than the two previous years, which were too cold.

The frogs only stayed in the water because Friedrich Goltz lobotomized the frogs beforehand. Which makes it a perfect metaphor because the Murdoch media has definitely lobotomized the public.

This summer it felt like there were more hotter days than a normal summer, few strings of 43+ especially in suburbs, Still getting up to high 30s even now.
