The main factors influencing climate since the mid-19th century include aerosol -- tiny particles suspended in the air -- from volcanoes and human sources, as well as from solar fluctuations, stratospheric ozone depletion and greenhouse gas increases. El Nino - Southern Oscillation events also affect climate. However, the changes in surface temperature since the mid-19th century can only be accurately simulated by models that include greenhouse gases and aerosols resulting from human activity.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia may be facing a permanent drought because of an accelerating vortex of winds whipping around the Antarctic that threatens to disrupt rainfall, scientists said on Tuesday.
Spinning faster and tighter, the 100 mile an hour jetstream is pulling climate bands south and dragging rain from Australia into the Southern Ocean, they say.
They attribute the phenomenon to global warming and loss of the ozone layer over Antarctica.
