“Intense And Scary” Environment Future

The Australian government has an unpublished document that it might want to keep unpublished. It models future environmental effects of global warming, according to The Guardian. The research even shows how many people might be killed, particularly by heat.

Logically, such research would come from Australia. It is one of the hottest places in the world during its summer. In central Australia, much of which is desert, temperatures can rise to 120 degrees F. Almost all of the small population who live in those areas are miners and live underground part of the time. 

100 Degree Heat

Temperatures above 100 degrees have become regular around the cities on Australia’s southeast coast. They have similar experiences to people who live in Las Vegas and Phoenix. Like the American cities, it is hard to find solutions to the heat for hundreds of thousands of people, so of whom do not have air conditioning. The grid is strained by electricity needs, like in most other very hot places in the world. 

Part of Australia has been hit by some of the most powerful hurricanes in history. In the region, they are known as cyclones. Recently, wind speeds of several of these have topped 125 miles per hour. These are like Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene that hit Florida last year. Areas where they come ashore are completely decimated.

If future weather events are “intense and scary” in Australia, they are in the US as well.
