A few facts about Climate Change from the Bureau of Meteorology:

Australia’s climate has warmed in both mean surface air temperature and surrounding sea surface temperature by around 1°C since 1910.
The duration, frequency and intensity of extreme heat events have increased across large parts of Australia.
There has been an increase in extreme fire weather, and a longer fire season, across large parts of Australia since the 1970s.
May–July rainfall has reduced by around 19 per cent since 1970 in the southwest of Australia.
There has been a decline of around 11 per cent since the mid-1990s in the April–October growing season rainfall in the continental southeast.
Rainfall has increased across parts of northern Australia since the 1970s.
Oceans around Australia have warmed and ocean acidity levels have increased.
Sea levels have risen around Australia. The rise in mean sea level amplifies the effects of high tides and storm surges.
