Evidence of climate change is unequivocal
Evidence that the Earth’s climate continues to warm is unequivocal.
Multiple lines of evidence indicate that it is extremely likely that the dominant cause of recent warming is human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and not natural climate variability.

Changes in the global climate system
1. With regional variation (almost all glaciers worldwide losing mass but some gaining) but overall net loss.2. With regional variation (large loss in the Arctic, small net gain in the Antarctic) but overall net loss.
Global mean temperature has risen by 0.85˚C from 1880 to 2012.
The amount of heat stored in the global oceans has risen, and global mean sea level has increased 225 mm from 1880 to 2012.

Evidence of climate change is unequivocal
Warming of the world’s oceans accounts for more than 90% of additional energy accumulated from the enhanced greenhouse effect.

Warming trends
Australia’s climate has warmed, and the frequency of extreme weather has changed, with more extreme heat and less extreme cold.

Increased rainfall?
Rainfall averaged across Australia has slightly increased since 1900, with the largest increases in the northwest since 1970.

Drying across the south
Rainfall has declined since 1970 in the southwest, dominated by reduced winter rainfall. Autumn and early winter rainfall has mostly been below average in the southeast since 1990.

There has been an increase in extreme fire weather, and a longer fire season, across large parts of Australia since the 1970s.
