I live in Sydney and store my wine in an insulated room, and cooled by a split air conditioner.
For some reason, I log the dates in gets switched on and off each year.
I switch it on when the temp hits 17.5. It runs at 15.5.

I think this clearly proves that there is no such thing as global warming - can't get much more conclusive than this!
I am also amazed to see that in 2005 and 2006 you travelled back in time to switch it off - surely this power could be better used though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the point of global warming is that you can't actually see it over a short period (ie. a decade), it would only increase by 1-1.5 degrees over a period of half a century. But that being enough to redirect oceanic flows to melt polar ice caps, change el nino and the like.

G'day Brucer
I live in Perth, and I have a garden shed, with polyurethane insulation sprayed on the inside, and what is now a 14 year old refrigerated aircon system through the shell. My finish times extend to early May in a bad year, and I haven't turned the aircon on yet this year - a couple of weeks perhaps?
I should also add that, when I turn it on in warmer months, I turn it off at night unless the minimum outside temperature is over 16'. There is certainly a period of time when it is running on High 24/7.
Cheers
Allan

Wine fridges back on today.
Internal temperatures ranged from 13.1 to 13.8 as I extracted a bottle of Te Mata Awatea 2001 this morning.
I thought I was the only miserable to switch off over winter. Thanks for coming out.....
Can't remember when switch off occured, but later than usual this year due to warm(ish) winter.
cheers jafa
