Hot enough. When it goes past 29C, with sufficient humidity, it gets uncomfortable. The main problem in SE Queensland is permanency. Once the Summer begins, it is relentless; there is no respite. November this year was quite mild but we can have temperature 'unpleasantness' from late September to early April. It's often said on gardening programs that we have two seasons: Hot and Cooler. I hate the heat, love the cooler. How about Tasmania in the summer? 20-24 C sounds good. Too many devils?

This should perhaps go here as it is driven by the Paris Agreement.... Ireland faces annual EU energy fines of €600m APRIL 30, 2018
Ireland faces fines of €600m a year from the EU for failing to meet renewable energy targets and cutting carbon emissions by 2020.
New, more ambitious targets for 2030 do not let Ireland off the hook for the 2020 measures, it has emerged.
A report for the Dáil Public Accounts Committee, which calculated the potential fines within two years, said they will be a matter for the European Court of Justice to impose.notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/04/30/ireland-faces-annual-eu-energy-fines-of-e600m/

I would think it goes into the Eurocracy general fund; someone has to pay for all those business lunches. I worked in Brussels for several years the place is full of expense account restaurants. One of the few things good about it was the beer like Trappiste Tripel "Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9,5% alcohol). An exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance and with a splendid long aftertaste. A connoisseur choice." Then for special occasions they brewed strong beer.

I'll never get to try it. Could you send me a case?

"China’s carbon emissions growth has accelerated since the beginning of the year, leading to warnings that the country could be headed for its largest annual increase in climate pollution since 2011.
Led by increased demand for coal, oil and gas, China’s CO2 emissions for the first three months of 2018 were 4% higher than they were for the same period in 2017, according to an Unearthed analysis of new government figures.
Analysts have suggested the country’s carbon emissions could rise this year by 5% — the largest annual increase in seven years, back when the airpocalypse was at its peak."unearthed.greenpeace.org/2018/05/30/china-co2-carbon-climate-emissions-rise-in-2018/
