South Australia to enact climate change laws The South Australian state government has released a draft bill putting ambitious greenhouse emissions reduction and renewable energy targets into law
The Climate Change and Greenhouse Emissions Reduction Bill 2006 mandates a target of reducing greenhouse emissions 60% below 1990 levels by 2050 along with a renewable energy target for the state of 20% by 2014
Premier Mike Rann claims the climate change bill to be among the first in the world to enshrine a greenhouse reduction target in law
Nuclear is No Answer to Climate Change The 'nuclear debate' has been rife with assertions, and low on facts

Provides climate and weather information, facts and statistics about the country,
along with five-day forecasts for major cities.
Only Tasmania, which is in the same latitude as, has a temperate climate comparable with that of or northwest Europe
Because much of the country is fairly low and flat, contrasts of weather and climate are gradual and there are few sharp local changes
For a more detailed description the country can be divided into four climatic regions (in addition to Tasmania which is more temperate in climate): the tropical regional of the north and northeast, southeastern Australia, southern and western Australia, and the desert and semi-arid regions of central Australia

Commentary on climate science news by working climate scientists for the interested
public and journalists.
Most of the attention was focussed on their attention-seeking description of the more breathless media depictions of climate change as 'climate porn'
3 Aug 2006 Filed under: — group @ 9:40 am Guest Commentary by Current model estimates of the climate sensitivity, defined as the equilibrated change in global-mean surface temperature resulting from a doubling of CO 2 , range from 2.6 to 4.1 K, consistent with observational constraints (see )
This range in climate sensitivity is attributable to differences in the strength of 'radiative feedbacks' between models and is one of the reasons why projections of future climate change are less certain than policy makers would like

Still Waiting For Greenhouse Non-believers in global warming present evidence to show that global warming has
been grossly exaggerated.
(19 Apr 05) OTTAWA: On April 13 the University of Calgary, in cooperation with the Friends of Science Society, released a video entitled: Climate Catastrophe Cancelled: What you're not being told about the science of climate change
One favorite such oddity is a statement in the file : Using semiempirical models of densification applied to past Vostok climate conditions, Barnola et al
And yet, some people portray CO2 as if it had almost mythical powers of dominating climate around the globe
It seems that at a conference of astronomers in Hamburg, Germany, Sami Solanki and colleagues presented a discussion of possible correlations between solar variability and terrestrial climate
Of the presentation in Hamburg there is available a file of slides, Solar Activity over the last 1150 years: does it correlate with Climate?
Among the latter are two on a slide labelled: Comparison: Sunspot number & Climate
If their models cannot get more realistic about a phenomenon such as the Maunder minimum, they would seem to need much more work before asking people to take their climate correlations seriously
A subsequent slide of the presentation asserts SN runs ahead of climate by 10 years (SN presumably being their calculated sunspot numbers)

Australia's Greenhouse Policy
Paper by Dr Colin Hunt and published in the Australian Journal of Environmental
Management.
Forthcoming in the Australian Journal of Environmental Management , June 2004 AUSTRALIA’S GREENHOUSE POLICY Colin Hunt Summary Even though climate change effects and costs are uncertain, Australia has accepted that action is warranted in moving towards a global solution
Introduction The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme
The IPCC is charged with investigating and reporting on global climate change and concludes that average global temperatures have increased by 0.6 o C (+ or - 0.2 o ) in the 20th century (IPCC, 2001a:4)
Given that global economic growth based on carbon fuels is set to continue, the question is what will be the greenhouse effect on the world’s climate in the future
In prior years, as the CO2 concentration is building, losses would be smaller.) The costs of global warming will differ geographically, not only because of varying patterns of climate change but because some relatively rich countries will be able to reduce effects and future costs by taking early action, while poorer countries are less likely to be able to do so

Only the south-east and south-west corners of the continent have a temperate climate
Climate is highly influenced by ocean currents, including the southern oscillation, which is correlated with periodic, and the seasonal tropical low pressure system that produces in northern Australia
plays an important part in Australian culture, assisted by a climate that favours outdoor activities; 23.5% Australians over the age of 15 regularly participate in organised sporting activities
