Melbourne - coldest morning in 18 years

Melbourne has shivered its way through its coldest morning in 18 years, according to the weather bureau.

The mercury dropped to just 0.6 degrees Celsius in the city, just after 8:00am.

Weather bureau senior forecaster Richard Carlyon said the last time it was that cold in Melbourne was in 1997, when temperatures plummeted to just 0.3C.

"In some of the suburbs we've had temps down to minus one, minus two degrees and out at Coldstream down to minus four," he said.

Some Melburnians were forced to take buckets of water to their windscreens as the chill left cars frozen over.

Mr Carlyon temperatures plummeted even further in other parts of the state with widespread frost.

"Most of Victoria froze this morning," he said.

"Statewide, one of the coldest spots was Ballarat down to -5.4 earlier this morning ... so certainly the coldest for 18 years."

Most of the state is thawing out now as Melbourne heads for a sunny top of 13C.

....must be anthropogenic global warming theory in practice? Cheesy

Anthropogenic global warming is being proven incorrect - day by day as we enter the new ice age.

It demonstrates that temperatures have risen so much over the past 18 years that people have forgotten that frosts were common in Victoria and Melbourne. That clink you hear is Bobby's IQ dropping to new lows.

Brace yourself for a scorcher: 2015 set to be warmest on record, warn climate scientists

January to April in 2015 has been the warmest start to a year on record
Nine countries have experienced record high temperatures so far in 2015

The world is on course to have its hottest year on record, according to climate change experts who fear global warming is set to send temperatures soaring.

There have already been a number of temperatures records set in 2015 with Antarctica experiencing its two warmest days ever recorded in March this year.

Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Venezuela and Laos have all set national temperature records in the past five months while globally January to April this year has been the warmest on record at 0.68°C above average.

The past 12 months have already been the warmest on record, suggesting temperatures are beginning to rise again

According to The Times, Professor Adam Scaife, who leads the monthly to decadal climate prediction research at the Met Office, said: 'There's a pretty good chance of the global record being broken this year.

'Last December we forecast that this year would set a new record, around 0.64°C above the norm, and global temperatures are higher so far this year than at this stage in 2014.'

Meteorologists have already confirmed that a growing El Nino in the Pacific Ocean is likely to lead to a fall in rainfall in the tropics and droughts across Africa and India

According to global measurements by Nasa, 2014 is currently the warmest on record with global land and sea temperatures reaching 0.68°C (1.24°F) above the long term average.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the US reports that January to April this year has already surpassed the previous records for the same period.

Wind farms kill roughly 0.27 birds per GWh.
Nuclear plants kill about 0.6 birds per GWh. (2.2x wind)
Fossil-fueled power stations kill about 9.4 birds per GWh. (34.8x wind)
