MARK COLVIN: The two top authorities on Australia's climate say it's clear - the continent is getting warmer. The CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology published the latest State of the Climate report today.
Australia is experiencing more extreme heat and longer fire seasons because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. The report confirms that temperatures in Australia have risen almost one degree over the past 100 years.
What's more, temperatures are expected to continue rising by up to one and a half degrees in the next 16 years alone and by more over the longer term.
