17 May: iTWire: David Heath: Its official – climate change is human-caused
Having exhausted all other possible causes, Melbourne University researchers conclude that the dramatic increase in local temperatures over the past 60 years can only be human-caused.
A team of over 30 paleoclimatologists has spent the past decade examining natural records of climate including recent geologically preserved sites along with written records (eg newspapers) and other data (corals, tree rings and Antarctic ice cores amongst many others) to construct a detailed view of climate changes in the Australasian region over the past 1000 years.
Lead researcher, Dr Joelle Gergis from the University of Melbourne saidsaid the results show that there are no other warm periods in the last 1000 years that match the warming experienced in Australasia since 1950. This period far exceeded the magnitude of warning in the so-called “Medieval Warming” period of 1238 – 1267…
According to the research team, the climate reconstruction was developed using 27 natural climate records calculated in 3000 different ways to ensure the robustness of the conclusions…
A PDF of the paper published in the Journal of Climate is available here for a fee.
The research will form the region’s submission to the 5th IPCC climate change assessment report chapter on past climate due to be published toward the end of 2014.
