Climate change

The web site includes useful information sources and explains core concepts and developments necessary to understanding and responding to the climate change debate. Climate change -- its causes, consequences and responses -- is a major subject of political debate in Australia and overseas. It is a subject on which there is a wealth of information produced by experts from a range of different perspectives -- scientific, economic, legal, social policy and foreign affairs. It is also a subject about which even the experts are often not in agreement. There is a surfeit of information on all aspects of climate change, and it can be hard to keep up. The Parliamentary Library has therefore prepared this climate change web site to help provide senators and members of the Australian Parliament, and their staff, with accurate and timely information and background on the key issues.   &nbsp
