Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World

The international community has agreed to limit global warming to below two degrees Celsius. However climate scientists agree that current national emissions targets collectively will not achieve this goal. Instead, the gap between climate science and climate policy is likely to lead to average global warming of around four degrees Celsius by or before 2100. The new book Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World outlines the expected consequences of this world for Australia and its region.
