The Canberra Times Australia
”We don’t know exactly how much warmer it will get but judging from past warming trends Canberra will become significantly warmer and drier than previous projections have estimated. ”These ”greater than average” temperature and rainfall changes would also affect the Snowy Mountains the Murray-Darling Basin food bowl and four of Australia’s biggest cities Sydney Melbourne Adelaide and Perth. The trends also suggested Tasmania would become warmer. The study’s findings published online today in the journal Nature Geoscience are the result of several years of research involving scientists from 11 countries. Using more than a million counts of fossil plankton from about 700 deep-sea sediment cores the research team has reconstructed detailed climate maps of the Earth’s surface during the height of the last ice age. During the warming period that occurred at the end of the last ice age temperatures rose by as much as 6 to 10 degrees across Australia. ”We expect the same pattern of change will be repeated for future global warming with temperate latitudes changing the most and the tropics changing the least.
