Science Minister Greg Hunt’s call for CSIRO to do a U-turn on climate research is a welcome move after months of criticism, at home and abroad, of the agency’s previous direction.
Was Malcolm Turnbull right to say that larger and more frequent storms are one of the predicted consequences of climate change – but that you can’t attribute any particular storm to global warming?
Ten years have passed since Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth hit the US box office. Has the film been successful in increasing awareness and action on climate change?

Research showing that more than 90% of climate scientists agree that we’re causing global warming prompted plenty of questions. And the authors are only too happy to answer.
In an atmosphere of declining government funding for science, researchers can drum up excitement and funding in other ways, just as they did in Edwardian times.
The CSIRO will create a new climate research centre in Hobart with 40 climate scientists.
A new study confirms that 97% of publishing climate scientists believe humans are causing global warming.
Global average sea level has risen by about 17 cm between 1900 and 2005, but we didn’t know how much of that was due to us, until now.
