For the past nine months, Channel Seven's Melbourne weather presenter Jane Bunn has been inserting a subtle message into her nightly bulletins.

| Channel Seven weather presenter Jane Bunn presents climate change information on the nightly news bulletin. |
She never uses the words "climate change" but instead gently introduces the TV audience to the idea that the world is warming up.
One July day was "cold, wet and windy," Bunn told her viewers. But the month's rainfall was less than half the July average. And over the past 75 years there's a "trend toward less July days with significant rain”.
Or a cool day in May, when a top of 14.8 was reached, but May’s “overall trend since the late 70s is warmer than the long-term average”.
Read the story from The Age by Liam Mannix and Katharine Haynes - “No denying weather presenter Bunn is subtly selling climate change.”
