Forget global warming - the latest problem is global cooling.
Conservation group WWF has blamed climate change for the coldest August in Sydney for more than 60 years.
The freezing temperatures are proof of the urgent need to cut carbon pollution, according to WWF development and sustainability program manager Paul Toni.
"We can expect more extremes in climate," Mr Toni said.
He said climate records had tumbled over the past year.
Australia had its driest May on record, Perth had its wettest April on record, and Tasmania recorded its hottest ever temperature, according to Mr Toni.
He said climate extremes were affecting southern Australia in particular.
"This is consistent with climate modelling showing the southern states will feel the effects of climate change most severely," he said.
Mr Toni said if action was not taken, more volatile weather would be on the radar.

I think they're the ones also suing Al Gore, for fraud, of course.
Now what I don't get, according to NSIDC, on July 16, the arctic ice was up to 8.91 million blah blah, but a month later, it's 5.81 blah blah? And then every year for the last few, around this time it's all "second lowest on record", whatever that means. However, that almost-record is based on an average they picked out of a hat, which could have been a seriously cold spell. Considering we're already supposed to be in an ice age according to 70's alarmists, maybe there's merit to that theory.
