Australia Becoming Hotter and Dryer: CSIRO
2006-05-31
CSIRO climate change report predicts a hotter, dryer Australia, with increased fire danger and higher cyclone intensity.
Rainfall will be reduced in much of Australia, with more frequent and severe droughts, and higher evaporation rates in every region reducing available water run off. Rainfall will increase in Tasmania, but not in northern Australia where it will remain unchanged or will decline.
