AUSTRALIA'S SOUTHWEST GETTING HOTTER AND DRIER - STUDY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mail this story to a friend AUSTRALIA: April 3, 2007 SYDNEY - Western Australia's southwest, an important agricultural region that also contains one of Australia's largest cities, would continue to get hotter and drier because of climate change, a government-backed study said. Rainfall was declining, while projections of further declines in rainfall were greater than first expected, Chris Mitchell of the government-backed Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) told Reuters on Monday. The region contains Perth, Australia's western capital and fourth biggest city with 1.5 million people, and also grows two of the country's most important crops, wheat and grapes. The study forecast that rainfall in the area may fall by up to 20 percent by 2030 compared with levels between 1960 and 1990. The number of winter rain days was forecast to decrease by up to 17 percent, with the water run-off into catchments falling by between 5 and 40 percent, it said. The changes might further increase by about 2085, with rainfall declining by between 5 and 34 percent and the number of winter rain days decreasing by up to 30 percent, it said. Observed temperature increases and winter rainfall decline in the region were unlikely to be due to natural climate variability alone, the study said. "Our results show that that by 2030 there would be a rise in temperatures in all seasons and a decrease in winter rainfall," CSIRO scientist Bryson Bates said. "It's unlikely the observed warming is a result of natural climate variability alone," added Pandora Hope of the Bureau of Meteorology research centre. Research would be stepped up into the causes and magnituide of climate change in Western Australia, Bates said. The study was conducted by the Indian Ocean Climate Initiative, a partnership of the state government of Western Australia, the commonwealth government-backed CSIRO, and the national weather bureau. REUTERS NEWS SERVICE Although the Dudes are going to make their research, certainly they will refuse to pin it down to the real cause of their problem... head long pursuit to avoid the evidence indeed ... that evidence is the 6 m sea rise before 2012, flooding completely the Perth Yachting Club where such Political Criminals as former Premier Richard Court spent their bribery money, as well as all Fremantle facilities including former corrupt Premier Lawrence's personal mansion ( acquired as well through bribery money from the Newmont / Newcrest & BHP Mining Criminals ) You thought you would get away from your Crimes, Australian Toads & Antipodean Rabble indeed ? Hey ? The knot of the Divine Drudging Drought ( DDD ) is tightening more around your ****en neck, don't worry ... and will never loosen until proper atonement for all your collective Crimes has been reached ! BY ORDER : Permanent Summer from now on upon the Land Of *******s with topping temperature on my birthday 15th of April next of 40°C all throughout the LOB .... and this is my personal gift to you all .... a degenerate Humanity only able to grab & run away without a thanks Jean-Paul Turcaud Exploration Geologist & Offshore Consultant Mobile +33 650 171 464 Founder of the True Geology ~ Ignorance is the Cosmic Sin, the One never Forgiven ~ for background info. http://www.tnet.com.au/~warrigal/grule.html http://users.indigo.net.au/don/tel/index.html http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/turcaud.htm http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/stories/s28534.htm |
