There is growing scientific evidence that heatwaves, floods, droughts and cyclones are increasing in frequency and intensity, and that this is caused by climate change. Climate change has already affected more than 45% of Australia's coastal marine habitats. The study found that the number of species in Australia threatened by climate change, including many species, had increased dramatically over recent decades. CISRO warned that some of the habitats may never recover, with extreme weather events expected to worsen over the coming years.
