• Mean annual temperature increase from 21oC to 22-23oC by 2050 (Noosa Biosphere, 2012)
• An increase in the frequency of extreme temperatures with the number of days over 350C
increasing by 30 days per annum by 2100 (CSIRO, 2015)
• Sea-level rise of 0.3 to 0.65m and 0.8m by 2100 (CSIRO, 2015)
• Southerly tracking cyclones (fewer but longer lived) (SCC, 2010)
• 140% increase in the number of severe storms by 2070 (SCC, 2010; Noosa Council, 2015a)
