Australian climate cooling since 2012Dataset shows no warming for 12 yearsComparing the first and second halves of the time period from April 2012 to March 2024, Australia's climate cooled by 0.014C, according to the Australian Climate Observation Reference Network (ACORN 2.3) for land stations. This is a small decrease in Australian mean temperatures from April 2012 to March 2024. The University of Alabama Huntsville dataset for Australian lower troposphere anomalies (UAH 6.0) shows mean temperature warming of 0.071C when comparing the first and second halves of the period from April 2012 to March 2024. From January 2013 to March 2024, ACORN shows mean temperature cooling of 0.100C and UAH shows Australian lower troposphere warming of 0.022C when averaging the first and second halves of this time period. The ACORN dataset shows significant land surface warming since June 2023 and the UAH dataset shows significant warming of the lower troposphere since July 2023 - both potentially affected by the emergence of an El Nino in the Pacific Ocean, strong solar activity and abnormally high atmospheric moisture content due to the Hunga Tonga underwater volcanic eruption in December 2021. The chart below is updated each month to track anomaly trends produced by both datasets. The chart below tracks anomaly trends within ACORN 2.3 maximum temperatures. The chart below tracks anomaly trends within ACORN 2.3 minimum temperatures. These trends are worth monitoring as most Australian public policy is now based on the inaccurate premise that Australia's climate is warming rapidly.
