Largely set in a futuristic World State, whose citizens are environmentally engineered into an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by the story’s protagonist. It is often compared to other dystopian classics such as George Orwell’s “1984” and Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.” The novel continues to be widely read and studied today for its commentary on the dangers of sacrificing individuality and humanity in pursuit of stability and order.īrave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932.

The World Meteorological Organization told AFP that the BOM's measurements were in line with its standards, contrary to Ms Marohasy's allegation. "This difference is very small compared to the strong warming trend in average temperature over Australia" - about 1.4C over the past century - Professor Nicholls told AFP. Monash University emeritus environment professor Neville Nicholls said the difference between most readings on the electronic probes and the mercury thermometers was negligible - between zero and 0.1C.
In an analysis of data obtained via a freedom of information request, prominent climate sceptic Jennifer Marohasy said BOM's electronic probes returned readings up to 0.7 degrees Celsius warmer than those of its older mercury thermometers.Įxperts who analysed the data said the claims were inaccurate.īOM was falsely accused of doctoring temperatures. "They are providing evidence against what the climate deniers claim, so the latter try to discredit them." Australian thermometersĬonservative media and Facebook users shared unfounded claims that Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) doctored its temperature readings. "These scientific bodies are seen as part of the establishment, so anything they say may get disputed on social networks.
