Climate change: Bureau of Meteorology publications

From the Bureau of Meteorology: "Australia and the globe are experiencing rapid climate change. Since the middle of the 20th century, Australian temperatures have, on average, risen by about 1°C with an increase in the frequency of heatwaves and a decrease in the numbers of frosts and cold days. Rainfall patterns have also changed - the northwest has seen an increase in rainfall over the last 50 years while much of eastern Australia and the far southwest have experienced a decline."

Climate change: runaway train, ruining our future

From yesterday's Age. A challenge to the optimistic. "It is now almost impossible to reduce emissions on a scale required to prevent runaway climate change."
