Sydney Morning Herald: Record temperatures in Australia in 2013 were almost certainly caused by man-made climate change, five separate studies have found. Researchers from the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University and the University of NSW have concluded it is "virtually impossible" that the heatwaves that hit Australia in 2013 would have occurred were it not for carbon emissions caused by human activity. The reports have been published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society...
