The most comprehensive assessment of the risk climate change poses to Australia has been released by the Federal Government.

Prepared by the Commonwealth's Australian Climate Service, the report draws on figures and analysis from bodies including the Bureau of Meteorology, the CSIRO and Geoscience Australia.

It warns we are going to see more floods, cyclones, heatwaves, droughts and bushfires in the years ahead.
