Way in the future, of course, but, this can be fixed if Aussies give up their own use of fossil fuels (excluding the Elites) and give all their freedom to government
The number of heat-related deaths in Sydney could surge by almost 450% if global heating surpasses 3C, according to a landmark report that finds no Australian community would be immune from the “cascading, compounding and concurrent” risks of a worsening climate.
The report also lays bare the heightened risk from rising sea levels on Australia’s populous coastal communities, including flooding, erosion and inundation.
It found that by 2050, 1.5 million coastal residents would be at risk, rising to more than 3 million by 2090.
The federal government on Monday released the long-awaited national climate risk assessment, providing the most detailed picture of the severe and far-reaching social and economic impact of the climate crisis for Australia.
Except, most tide gauges in Australia barely show any sea level rise. Sydney shows a whopping 0.8mm per year, which is 0.26 feet in 100 years. The gauge goes back to 1886.
Under a 3C scenario, the number of heat-related deaths in Sydney increases by 444% and by 423% in Darwin.
The assessment also modelled the economic impact, estimating the direct cost of floods, bushfires, storms and cyclones across the states and territories could reach $40bn a year in 2050 – even under a 1.5C scenario.
But the economic damage would extend beyond the disasters themselves.
For example, losses in property value could increase to $611bn by 2050, rising to $770bn by 2090. In another finding, the number days lost of work due to heatwaves could reach 2.7m across the workforce under the 3C scenario.
Keep the doomsaying going, guys. That will totally help your cult.
What is 450% of zero?
