Report Copyright Violation | Extreme heat in 1896: Panic stricken people fled the outback on special trains as hundreds die. It is as if history is being erased. For all that we hear about recent record-breaking climate extremes, records that are equally extreme, and sometimes even more so, are ignored. By Tuesday Jan 14, people were reported falling dead in the streets. Unable to sleep, people in Brewarrina walked the streets at night for hours, the thermometer recording 109F at midnight. Overnight, the temperature did not fall below 103°F. On Jan 18 in Wilcannia, five deaths were recorded in one day, the hospitals were overcrowded and reports said that “more deaths are hourly expected”. By January 24, in Bourke, many businesses had shut down(almost everything bar the hotels). Panic strickenAustralians were fleeing to the hills in climate refugee trains. As reported at the time, the government felt the situation was so serious that to save lives and ease the suffering of its citizens they added cheaper train services.

What caused the phenomenal heatwaves that hit the world in the late 1800s? It obviously wasn’t our air-conditioners and SUV’s, and carbon dioxide levels had barely risen over pre-industrial levels (the rise nearly all occurs after WWII).

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76809044 Root cellars were essential back then. I'm sure a lot of people hid in there. Can't fit too many family members inside though. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "Just another soldier reporting, Sir. Ive served my time in Hell" |

The Earth has cycles just like everything else. Yes we know there are seasons, but there are more cycles that occur not annually, but after centuries are their patterns recorded. Unless of course you have a hijacked science cabal, who does everything in its academic power to thwart true investigation into the cause and occurrence. To make a long story short, the planet has what we like to call Bio-Rythms. Or, peaks and valleys of high and low temperatures that happen every 2,000 years or so, bringing the Earth either closer to freezing temperatures, or increased ionic activity from high temperatures rising due to the Planet's trajectory, as well as our Sun. |

First taste of it will still kill those not used to it. Many tourists died here last summer, we had to do special interventions at airports, where hundreds collapsed as they got off international flights.Fat people die regardless. Those temps have been passed multiple times. Low fifties celc in the shade now hit the hottest parts. Thats 125 plus for americans. |
