Our changing climate

Any Australian can tell you, we cop a lot of extreme weather like floods, cyclones and bushfires, and that natural disasters are apart of Australian life. But experts are now warning that climate change is amplifying these events and they will occur more frequently and be of greater magnitude in the years ahead.

No single extreme weather event can be attributed to climate change. However there is an emerging pattern of more frequent and more intense extreme weather conditions, and scientists predict that this will continue as a result of rising greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere.
