Climate experts in the Northern Hemisphere consider the beginning of time to be 1979, but in Australia the world began in 1953.
Nicholls uses this graph to prove that BOM is telling the truth, and the Australian climate is falling apart. Note the start date of 1953
An independent inquiry into the Bureau of Meteorology? Bring it on
The start date of 1953 was carefully cherry picked as one of the coldest periods on record in Australia.
This is the same approach used by Northern Hemisphere experts, who cherry-pick 1979 as the beginning of time.
Australia should be celebrating , it has been greening for the last 30 years.

So, instead of suing fossil fuel companies for “climate damage” we should be paying them for greening the earth? ..And making weather better:

I’ll be passing these graphs along to anyone who has a sense that numbers don’t lie, but it’s the fault of those who “cherry-pick” for their own purpose. Best of luck in your research! — Tony
The snow depth measurments at Spencers Creek are made by the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority which manages the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. Since construction of the hydro dams by Snowy Hydro didn’t start until 1949 it’s reasonable that 1953 is the earliest data they have and not a cherry-pick.

While you’re right about SMEC, 1951 was in fact a record Victorian snowfall year. Tony’s observation is correct.

It’s meaningless to put a trend on Nicholl’s Spencer Creek snow depth chart that starts at a peak, except to support a biased view. BOM and CSIRO have been biased to enjoy more taxpayer money. No secret there.
Deforestation of Australia has had much more profound effect on our climate than CO2 ever has or will. But cleared trees cannot be taxed while power bills, transport fuel, food and everything else we use can be taxed.
The lefties just needed a nudge on the carbon tax direction by certain economists such as Ross Garnaut.
1948
18 foot of snow at Kosciusko was a record fall.

Everybody’s got to start somewhere!
Time started in Australia 26 years before it started in America!
Now that’s some serious Global Change!

Clearly, the rate of Global Change does not correlate well with CO2 levels.
However, if we were to redefine “Global Change” as just another form of rhetorical manure….
