The speech starts by setting out three key themes of the Bank's recent communication about Australia's transition from the resources sector boom to more normal economic conditions: that the sheer scale of the boom means that this transition is challenging, and that the broader global environment compounds the challenge; that a reasonably successful transition is possible given our economy's positive fundamentals and flexibility; and that monetary policy is doing what it can to help the transition, but that the chances of success would be boosted by a lift in productivity growth and an increase in the expected risk - adjusted rate of return on investment.

Previous studies have focused on hemispheric or global - scale temperature reconstructions, which are useful for understanding overall average conditions, but can overlook important differences at regional scales.

FWIW, my best guess is that the difference between weather (which can not be predicted reliably for more than a few days no matter how much computing power you throw at it, and due to the data quantity / quality problem, it may well be technically impossible entirely under real - world conditions) and climate (which can be much better predicted on a global scale for a longer period of time with a higher degree of accuracy — still, a few years are the technical limit) is a difference of scale.

Using a recently developed hurricane synthesizer driven by large - scale meteorological variables derived from global climate models, 1000 artificial 100 - yr time series of Atlantic hurricanes that make landfall along the U.S. Gulf and East Coasts are generated for four climate models and for current climate conditions as well as for the warmer climate of 100 yr hence under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emissions scenario A1b.

While regional climate downscaling yields higher spatial resolution, the downscaling is strongly dependent on the lateral boundary conditions and the methods used to constrain the regional climate model variables to the coarser spatial scale information from the parent global models.

Some approaches, like turning biomass into biochar, a charcoal whose carbon resists breakdown, and painting roofs white to increase their reflectivity and reduce air - conditioning demand, are relatively benign, but would have minimal effect on a global scale.
