Jul 29, 2021 · (ABC) The study states that rising populations and energy use have led to climate change, increased risk of pandemics and ecological destruction. As a result, it found that human civilisation is in a "perilous position with regards to its future". It is not the first time Tasmania has been considered for a potential post-apocalyptic haven.
What are the projected climate change impacts for Tasmania? The Climate Futures for Tasmania project found that the following projected changes are likely by 2100. The projections are based on two of the emissions scenarios set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Under a high emissions scenario (RCP8.5), Tasmania can expect an average annual temperature increase of around 0.9-1.7 °C (central estimate of 1.2 °C). Large and sustained reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions (RCP2.6) reduce warming to around 0.3-1.1 °C (central estimate of 0.7 °C).
Tasmania’s Climate Change Action Plan 2023-25 sets our agenda for action on climate change for the next two years and our plan to maintain net zero greenhouse gas emissions, or lower, from 2030, in line with our legislated target.
