My point is simply that observations of
the actual rainfall trend in recent times are not consistent with CSIRO model projections (I will of course withdraw this comment if my figuring is shown to be wrong).
Not exact matches
The predictions matched
actual rainfall measurements during the 75 - year period, both in the magnitude (amount) and the
trend (increase or decrease) of precipitation.
One model showed a 17 - percent increase in extreme
rainfall between 1861 and 2017 — quite similar to the
trend found in the
actual rainfall observations.
