"“It is a wicked problem,” says Dr Karl Braganza at the Bureau of Meteorology,
after running through Australia’s latest
State of the Climate report.
The effects of rising heat on land and in the oceans, coupled with rising
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, are changing Australia’s climate rapidly
and “flowing through to how our society, economy and other things operate”.
The report, released Thursday by the bureau and CSIRO, checks the data on
temperature, extreme heat, ocean acidification, rainfall and a host of other
measures.
Braganza, the climate services manager at the bureau, calls it “checking the
vital signs of Australia’s climate”.
Those signs indicate that the country is becoming hotter and more dangerous –
and the temperature trends will only worsen in the future.
Here are five charts from the biannual report that tell the story."
