It’s a scientific projection of Australia under 3C of global warming – a future we must both strenuously try to avoid, but also prepare for. This is why of all developed nations, Australia has been identified as one of the most vulnerable to climate change. (File photo)Under 3C warming, global sea levels are projected to rise 40-80 centimetres, and by many more metres over coming centuries. A 3C global temperature increase would reduce yields of key crops by between 5 per cent and 50 per cent. At 3°C global warming, many locations in Australia would be very difficult to inhabit due to projected water shortages.
