- Climate_change_in_Australia abstract "Climate change has become a major issue in Australia due to drastic climate events, including extremely high temperatures and widespread drought, since the turn of the 21st century that have focused government and public attention. Rainfall in Australia has increased slightly over the past century, although there is little or no trend in rainfall in the Western Plateau and the Central Lowlands of Australia. Water sources in the southeastern areas of Australia have depleted due to increasing population in urban areas (rising demand) coupled with climate change factors such as persistent prolonged drought (diminishing supply). At the same time, Australia continues to have the highest per capita greenhouse gas emissions. Temperatures in Australia have also risen dramatically since 1910 and nights have become warmer. A carbon tax was introduced in 2011 by the Gillard government in an effort to reduce the impact of climate change and despite criticism, it has significantly reduced Australia's carbon dioxide emissions, with coal generation down 11% since 2008-09.The federal government and all state governments (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia,[Tasmania, Northern Territories and the Australian Capital Territory) have explicitly recognised that climate change is being caused by greenhouse gas emissions, in conformity with the scientific opinion on climate change. Sectors of the population are actively campaigning against new coal mines and coal fired power stations because of their concern about the effects of global warming on Australia.There is expected to be a net benefit to Australia of stabilising greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at 450ppm CO2 eq.In 2013, the CSIRO released a report stating Australia is getting hotter. In 2014, the Bureau of Meteorology released a report on the state of Australia's climate, which highlighted several key points, including the dramatic increase in Australia's temperatures and the increasing frequency of bush fires, droughts and floods which have all been linked to climate change.".
