I would hardly call this "limited downside". Businesses will close, jobs will be lost, many will face economic hardship.
Coldest since 2008 in Goulburn . Wow!Man-made global warming surging ahead – will not be long before we are all toast.
Melbourne weather: City shivers through chilliest morning in two years
Melburnians have shivered their way through the coldest morning in two years as temperatures dipped to just 1.1℃ in the city on Saturday.
The morning is the coldest since 2015, when a low of just 0.6℃ was recorded on July 19.

Weekend snap-freeze: Cold spell slashes temperature records across Australia
Temperature records have fallen as many Australians woke to freezing weather this morning.

The area of Portugal that burned has a lot of gum tree plantations, as we are very aware, gum trees need to be hazard reduced every second or third year or you will get a holocaust when the conditions are right.
Here is the most recently available global temperature anomaly update for June 2017, i.e. +0.21 deg C, which is back to 1997 levels and implies zero global warming for the last 20 years. This satellite temperature data just cannot be correct. It's clearly time for another 'hockey stick' adjustment to the data to make it agree with the 97% of scientists who all agree that humans are causing global warming.

You'd have to explain that a little more for me. I know it's a give you are arguing some kind of conspiracy, but I'm affected at the pointy end in one of my businesses by rising enthalpy and degree days, man made or not.
Bintang what you might choose to do is extend your observations of global temperatures to take in the entire global land and sea based temperature records. These are the ones that measure the temperature on earth.
I have simply showed the most recent data obtained from satellite observations,
The physical consequences of these temperature extremes are seen in record ice melts in the Arctic and Antarctic, bleaching coral reefs around the world as ocean temperatures soar, unheralded forest fires in Canada and other far north localities and scores of other heat related phenomenon.
VII. SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS In this research report, the most important surface data adjustment issues are identified and past changes in the previously reported historical GAST data are quantified. While the notion that some “adjustments” to historical data might need to be made is not challenged, logically it would be expected that such historical temperature data adjustments would sometimes raise these temperatures, and sometimes lower them. This situation would mean that the impact of such adjustments on the temperature trend line slope is uncertain. However, each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history. That was accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern. This was true for all three entities providing GAST data measurement, NOAA, NASA and Hadley CRU. As a result, this research sought to validate the current estimates of GAST using the best available relevant data. This included the best documented and understood data sets from the U.S. and elsewhere as well as global data from satellites that provide far more extensive global coverage and are not contaminated by bad siting and urbanization impacts. Satellite data integrity also benefits from having cross checks between UAH and RSS as well as with Balloon data. The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data. Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever –despite current claims of record setting warming. Finally, since GAST data set validity is a necessary condition for EPA’s GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding, it too is invalidated by these research findings.
