My view on the science is use your own experience as a guide - what have you observed with the weather over time?

A lot here are mature age so they have the unique ability to recall what the weather patterns were like when they were younger compared to now. Bypasses all the science, theories and graphs.

My experience living in Sydney the bulk of my life is that Sydney has always been a hot city. But it was not as hot earlier in the year as it has become often (40C days in October for instance) and that 40C+ days are more common now than in earlier years. Also the weather can be more volatile and heavy downpours that were considered 1 in a 100 year event now occur about every 4-5 years. So change is most definitely occuring from my experience. That doesn't mean 1 year we don't have a cooler summer - more the longer term pattern.

That is nothing to do with theories or science approaches to the issue nor seeks to say what caused it.

Greg.
