Australia will suffer more days of extreme heat and a longer bushfire season as greenhouse gases force temperatures to continue rising, a new report warned Tuesday, according to an AFP story in the West Australian. "Adaptation is required because some warming and associated changes are unavoidable," it said, according to an AFP story in the West Australian.
Neville Nicholls, a professor at the School of Geography & Environmental Science at Monash University, told AFP Australia was already working to deal with climate change on a practical level "And governments, fire services, and bureaucrats have worked to improve the way we prepare for and deal with bushfires; this is an effective climate change adaptation, even if it was not done specifically in response to the climate-driven increased risk."
