+1 but go leaner and ride more. Cut the PAIR and go full system. We might be able to warm it up a few millionths of a degree by next spring.

Well It's the 2nd month of Autumn here in Perth and normally it would be wet & cold (by our standards)but we've just come out of a record breaking hotspell and the forecast is more of the same. I guess we are just lucky, sorry don't want to rub it in.

26C = 79F, 33C = 91

Average Winter Temperatures in Perth
June: Daytime 18-21C (64-70F)Overnight Minimum 9-12C (48-54F)
July: Daytime 15-18C (59-64F) Overnight Minimum 6-9C (43-48F)
August: Daytime 18-21C (64-70F) Overnight Minimum 9-12C (48-54F)

Yes, but a little more broadly than just warming. The northern hemisphere seems to have had a longer and colder winter, while I know that we've had a longer, hotter and wetter summer for a long time and it's not been isolated, summers have been trending warmer and wetter of late.

Don't know if it's getting warmer, wetter, longer, colder, but it seems to be changing (slowly) extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and more extreme. Could be cyclic, could be human induced. dunno for sure, haven't read the science. In all the debate, no one ever suggests that pollution ever does any good. The debate seems to range from neutral to really bad. The truth will be in between these somewhere. But it seems to me the range of views are all on the negative side. So why not change if the balanced view over all of the rhetoric is that pollution is doing some degree of harm? I don't see a compelling case for the status quo...
