Evidence of climate change

Arctic sea ice has shrunk by 2.7 per cent per decade since 1978 and by 7.4 per cent each decade during the summer months.

Five of the six warmest years have occurred in the past five years, with 2005 and 1998 being the two warmest years on record.

Global average sea levels rose at a rate of about 2mm a year between 1961-2003, and by an average of more than 3mm a year between 1993-2003.

Mountain glaciers and polar land ice have in general melted faster than they have formed over the past 40 years.

Permafrost temperatures have increased on average and the area covered by seasonally frozen ground has decreased by about 7 per cent over the past 50 years.
