According to the "state of climate 2020" report jointly released by the Australian meteorological office and the Australian Federal scientific and industrial research organization, Australia will face the trend of continuous warming, increasing frequency of extreme weather, lengthening forest fire season and rising sea level.

According to the latest climate observation, analysis and prediction results, the above climate report comprehensively analyzes the current and future climate change in Australia, according to the latest climate observation, analysis and prediction results.

The report says the average temperature in Australia has risen by 1.44 degrees Celsius since 1910, resulting in an increase in the frequency of extreme high temperature weather. From 2013 to 2018, it ranked in the top nine in the annual average temperature ranking of Australia, and 2019 was the hottest year since Australia had temperature records.

According to the report, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have continued to increase since about 1750, and fossil fuel emissions are the main driver of this growth. Although the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic prevention measures contribute to global emissions reduction in 2020, it is not enough to have a significant impact on the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Carl Braganza, director of the climate and environmental prediction service at the Australian meteorological service, said the report found that climate change affects weather and related disasters by affecting temperature, rainfall and relative humidity, and the resulting changes in water content. The trend of climate warming in Australia leads to the increase of extreme weather and the prolongation of forest fire season.

The report also shows that the ocean around Australia is being acidified by climate change, and its temperature has risen by about one degree centigrade since 1910, leading to more frequent and longer-lasting water temperatures in some areas.
