Australian Heat Brings Koalas Closer To Home

Global warming has an upside!

“It has been so hot in South Australia for over a week…40+ degrees Celsius everyday – 104 F, very dry also. These are the photos of a little Koala that just walked into the back porch of a home around the way looking for a bit of heat relief. The lady of the house filled up a bucket and this is what happened!”

call me strange or just plain self absorbed, but up to this very moment I had actually forgotten that kolas existed. i dunno when exactly i had started to forget of their existence but i am now once again aware of them.. i dunno if i should be happy by my new found remembrance of their existence or sadden by my forgetfulness.. either way, welcome back to my conciseness kolas!!

PS: i think he'd like a beer... or atleast i think it would be cute if he was lounging in the bucket enjoying and ice cold one. hey photoshop people, wanna indulge me?

"I shared this with my wife and she wants to know why the second kid whose face you cant see is in long sleeves if its 104f?"

odds are its also very sunny out side, so its probably to help block the sun and prevent sun burn. it looks light and airy enough as not to be too hot.

@Reason

Australia is in the southern hemisphere so it's their summer right now when it is our winter. Reason huh? Try using some logic to go along with that.

@Gaulder:

Thanks for showing that it is summer there and that the global warming comment was pointless. BTW, you did nothing to counter what "Reason" said.

The idea of wearing light weight long sleeves in summer is to reduce your chances of getting sunburnt and developing skin cancer.

Gauldar,

You were completely unable to refute the point that I made. Global warming theory holds that moderation of temperature is a key tenet of the signs we will see as a result of the effects of global warming.

Australia, during their summer, which is happening right now, should be experiencing a milder, cooler summer if global warming theory holds true. All the while, locations closer to the poles should be getting warmer during the winter months.

What neatorama wrote that this is a sign of global warming, is simply not true. It should be getting cooler in Australia in their summer according to the theorists.

@Reason,
I live in the southern zone of Australia. Every report I've read on climate change states southern Australia will become hotter and dryer and northern Australia will become wetter. Right now, the south suffering heatwaves and is in drought and the north is experiencing floods.
Australia is a big country.

He haz a bukkit. :P

The two or three koalas at our zoo have it made. A nice balmy 75 year round.

The article did not mention how the climate has affected drop bears. ;)

"Reason" would do well to look for actual facts, ie. http://www.csiro.au/resources/ps3j6.html <- climate change projections for Australia, rather than make things up. Summary: Temperatures in Australia are going up, not down.

Please people, just for once appreciate something for face value. And if you want to really be concerned about something, think about where the little fella's mum was..Im no expert but I think they dont last long w out their mums
Photo-shop theorists and doom-sayers are boring.
Im an Aussie living in London, and in the last days it snowed alot. People started talking to each other and smiling and forgot to whinge for once for awhile.
Peace.

Terry and Jimbob,

Those are predictions that Australia is making, but not what American scientists are predicting what will happen. I guess there is controversy in the global warming movement about what constitutes global warming evidence.

Hmm, looks like a fake post to me. In that I don't think they're the original source as they claim.

As someone already pointed out -- cuteoverload.com.

Different submitters name, different story, same pictures.

I miss the old neatorama
