These researchers are working to document climate change impacts in Australia, to better model and predict future changes, safeguard biodiversity and communities, and to establish more – and more efficient – ways of reducing emissions and capturing carbon.
Australia’s climate has warmed by about 1.47 (± 0.24) °C since national records began in 1910, leading to an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events. This long term warming trend means that every decade since 1950 has been warmer than preceding decades.
Dec 24, 2019 · Under the Paris Climate Agreement to tackle rising global temperatures, Australia set a target for 2030 of making a 26-28% reduction in its emissions compared with 2005 levels.
Information about Australia's past, current and future climate helps industries, governments and communities plan for and adapt to a variable and changing climate.
Jun 27, 2021 · Climate change has ended political careers in Australia and action over it remains widely debated.
Australia’s climate has warmed since national records began in 1910, with most warming occurring since 1950. Australia's mean surface air temperature has increased by more than 1.4°C since 1910. Since 1950, every decade has been warmer than it's predecessor.
Australia's changing climate. Australia has warmed, on average, by 1.47 ± 0.24 °C since national records began in 1910. There has been an increase in extreme heat events associated with the warming.
