Slow talks, increasing global temperatures

 Hughes.

With global climate change talks moving too slowly, scientists are now talking of a rise in global temperatures of four degrees. What would this mean for Australia?

Writing on the ABC’s Environment page, Graham Readfearn, discusses "Life at four degrees”.

Readfearn reports that one of Australia’s Climate Commissioners, Professor Lesley Hughes, discusses suggestions that the world is heading for an average four degree Celsius of global warming by the end of the century.

“But what might a 4°C Australia look and feel like?”, Readfearn asks.
