  • The fantastic talk by Dr Karl Braganza from BoM about climate variability and trends is now up at http://bit.ly/9B5hmK #
  • (I know I've been using twitter too long when I start naturally writing tweets that are 140 characters long without having to edit ;)) #
  • It's so awesome that @ParlLibrary tweets bills entering parliament, it's a handy way to keep up with what's happening 🙂 Thanks! #gov2au #
  • Hey @jameskliemt, would love your thoughts on the opps and benefits in gov agencies using social media given your experience 🙂 #
  • Lots of fun and good discussions at @ACTwonkdrinks tonight 🙂 #
  • Q about noticeable effects of weather in talk by BoM. A: if we only respond to climate change we notice day to day we miss the big picture. #
  • People should check out the Aph parliamentary library talks online 🙂 http://t.co/To6Q3Bl #
  • BoM is currently differentiating between dry areas and actual droughts which are a notable diff in norms as opposed to just being dry. #
  • BoM: temps consistently increased decade on decade, rainfall decreased in regularity & increased ferocity but still trending to drought. Wow #
  • BoM: its the shift in the mean of climate data that demos real change in climate over time, not extremes. There is a trend in heat events. #
  • BoM: we look at the ongoing information. Extreme events are of interest but are not the only data that demonstrate climate is changing #
  • Sort of ironic that I'm sitting in a briefing on Australian climate by BoM *inside* parliament house. Perhaps we should go outside 🙂 #
