Perth on track for coldest month on record
“July proving one of the coldest,” reads the headline on glenninnesexaminer.com.
Local weather affects about 1% of people in polls on Global Warming « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax
For every three degrees F warmer (or cooler), about 1 % of respondents in surveys think there is more (or less) evidence that the Earth has been getting warmer (3 F = 1.6 C).

Alarmists will use this survey to tell us how dumb the punters are, but remember that even if temperatures are 10 degrees C hotter or colder than normal that still means 94% of people answering the survey have not changed their position, and that the question itself largely misses the point. The important factor is whether human emissions caused the warming, and if so, what percentage of the increase was due to man-made effects.
