More rain on the horizon as climate change affects Australia, study finds Australians will need to batten down the hatches with more intense rain storms predicted as a result of higher humidity driven by a rise in global temperatures. New findings from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, published in Nature Climate Change on Tuesday, reveal that a two-degree rise in average global temperatures would lead to a 10-30 per cent increase in extreme downpours. The study’s authors predict that while some parts of the continent will become wetter, others will experience increasing drought. Steve Sherwood, a professor at the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of NSW who contributed to the research, said global warming would have a clear impact on rainfall. “There is no chance that rainfall in Australia will remain the same as the climate warms,” he said. “With two degrees of global warming, Australia is stuck with either more aridity, much heavier extreme rains, or some combination of the two.” … Read more: smh.com.au
