Climate : Australia has been through the warmest decade in its history!

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced that 2009 should be ranked among the ten warmest years since 1850. In Australia, transitions of extreme heat have been more frequent. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the country has just experienced the warmest decade in its history.

"Over the last sixty years, each decade has been warmer than the previous. Such phenomenons do not happen by chance. It reflects what is happening globally, "said Dean Collins, a climatologist. For the Meteorological station, heat waves, drought or dust storms are clearly due to global warming.

During this decade, the average temperature (22.3 ° C) was 0.48 degrees above the average recorded between 1961 and 1990. An undeniable proof of global warming for Dean Collins. For 2010, forecasts of the Bureau of Meteorology are no more encouraging.
