		<description>Here we go again; the standard denialist response to being caught out on matters of fact is to change the subject, fast.

If C3P0 is genuinely interested in regional climate reconstructions, he / she / they could start here:

		<description>Perhaps go back longer than 60 years. What has it done since 1800? 1000? 4000BC? 100,000BC?</description>

		<description>C3P0,  I am indeed referring to trends in the regional climate, measured over the last 50 years, as per the links in my previous comment.

Which of the following observations do you not comprehend?

Temperature:
Australian average temperatures have increased 0.9Â°C since 1950, with significant regional variations. The frequency of hot days and nights has increased and the frequency of cold days and nights has declined.

Rainfall:
Since 1950, most of eastern and south-western Australia has experienced substantial rainfall declines. Across New South Wales and Queensland these rainfall trends partly reflect a very wet period around the 1950s, though recent years have been unusually dry. In contrast, north-west Australia has become wetter over this period, mostly during summer.

From 1950 to 2005, extreme daily rainfall intensity and frequency has increased in north-western and central Australia and over the western tablelands of New South Wales, but decreased in the south-east and south-west and along the central east coast.

Oceans:
Global sea levels rose by about 17 cm during the 20th century, and by around 10 cm from 1920-2000 at the Australian coastal sites monitored. Substantial warming has also occurred in the three oceans surrounding Australia, particularly off the south-east coast and in the Indian Ocean.</description>

		<description>Conversely any [cold] weather event can be twisted to support the veiw the world is cooling. That is why changing climate is assessed using statistically rigorous time series methods, which when used show warming at a global level.</description>

		<description>Yeah &#039;Australia&#039; is at the forefront of &#039;Global&#039; warming. But meanwhile the rest of the world shivers through an unusually cold northern winter. Any weather event can be twisted to perhaps be caused by &#039;global warming&#039;, but none can be proven. Guess we just have to wait for the hurricanes to start tearing through the Cook Strait..... In the meantime I don&#039;t see why local weather is important to what time Mockton does a speech in Australia

		<description>Perhaps this will help you understand, C3P0...

(click on &quot;view file&quot; for Climate Change Update 2)

My point is that Australia is the harbinger of what global heating will bring to other countries in future - extreme weather events such as heatwaves, flooding and wildfire, drought, dust storms, agricultural collapse and a shortage of drinking water.

Even a fake peer of the realm might find all that a bit much, what?</description>

		<description>Perhaps he should travel to Copenhagen in December and preach global warming??

Is your point that local seasons can be confused as global trends or something? I don&#039;t understand.</description>
