O knihe
Climate change has become a major issue in Australia due to drastic climate events since the turn of the century that have focused government and public attention. Rainfall in Australia has increased over the past century, both nationwide and for all four quadrants of the nation. Water sources in the South Eastern 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. All federal and state governments 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 while other groups are actively campaigning for coal fired power stations and an increase in both number and output of coal mines.
