Just got a media release that talks about temperature increases in percentage terms. Increase from 10C to 11C is described as a 10% increase. Very odd! I mean, if anything, it's more like a 0.35% increase (from ~283K to ~284K).

Some cautious good news as the fire season begins… There’s some real progress on Royal Commission recommendations including on local climate models, air quality forecasting and supply chain protection… Is it enough?
