State's temperatures are becoming unmanagable

Parts of north-western NSW could spend more than a third of the year above 35 degrees Celsius by 2070, according to new projections released by the NSW Government.

That fact has been shown in detailed modelling, produced through a partnership with the NSW and ACT governments and the University of NSW Climate Change Research Centre.

It suggests that by 2070 average temperatures in the state will have risen by 2.1 degrees.

Importantly, what needs to be noted is the fact put 35 degrees as the base number and so if it creeps up to 38 degrees, which is quite possible, that will be 100 degrees Fahrenheit, for those still working in the former regime.

A story on the ABC headed: “Climate change in NSW: New projections reveal likely local impacts of rising temperatures” explains about the detailed modelling.

It says: “The projections map out for the first time how different parts of New South Wales could be affected by climate change in the near and distant future.”
