Global Warming: An Australian Perspective

Abstract

There is already an abundance of publications on climate change and global warming. Most, but not all, support the theory that carbon dioxide emissions are the prime cause. There is anecdotal and some scientific evidence that global warming is occurring. Any remedial action that now needs to be undertaken is dependent upon political processes. The mechanism for ensuring that politicians have a good understanding of the scientific principles involved is discussed together with the necessity of getting international consensus and action on global warming, climate change and carbon emission reduction
