2005 hottest year ever in Australia
By the end of December 2005, it is expected to have been the second warmest year globally and there is no natural phenomenon like an El Nino effect to explain the heat.
At a conference in Sydney, experts will discuss the evidence.
The Bureau of Meteorology's Dr Michael Coughlan says there is no longer any debate about whether the world is getting warmer.
"Where the debate lies now is in the attribution issues and the general consensus of climate scientists is that there's a large component of human activities in that," he said.
[Catastrophic storms like Hurricanes Katrina and Stan took weather extremes across the globe to new levels in 2005, with flooding and heatwaves touching almost every continent, the United Nations Geneva-based World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) says.]
