6. Temperature : increasing by 1.5 degree C
Climate Change Trends : Temperate Australia to 2030
Temperature : increasing by 1.5 degree C
Greater variations across the seasons
Spring & Summer > variations Autumn & Winter
Rainfall : decreasing by 2-5 %
Less certainty in predictions
Seasonal variations greater
Runoff & Streamflow :
Up to 40% less water into dams
Evapotranspiration + less rainfall =
Higher aridity
Greater risk of droughts
Longer dry spells : hot days hotter
Heavier rainfall events : less annual rainfall

7. Population vs Resources
Changing demographics:
60% world pop now sub replacement
Ageing Pop = costly
97% of water on Earth is undrinkable
2016: 7.4 billion

8. Peak Oil / energy resources
Energy = political-economic issue : existing Governments require tax revenue from users; price range is limited to maintain stable economy
Future : Quantum
