1. Average temperature in WA has risen by 0.5o C since settlement.  If the sometimes suggested temperature increase of 2.0^oC by 2100 does occur, what will be the consequences for WA?
2. Considering current trends and predicted climate change in WA, what opportunities do these present?
3. A graph presented by CSIRO shows that if CO₂ levels peak or are reduced, sea level will continue to rise for over a 1000 years and temperature will continue to rise for at least 100 years.  Why should we bother about emissions reduction?  Should adaptation to inevitable change be the preferred approach?

1. Is the Antarctic cooling or warming?
2. What is causing rainfall in the North of WA to increase and rainfall in the South-west to decrease?
3. To what extent are ‘brown’ pollutants a cause of changing rainfall patterns?
