Seen from the world, there is growing evidence that increases in temperatures have

caused measurable changes in biodiversity including the distribution, abundance, life

cycles and physiology of a number of plants and animals. Observed changes to

Australian biodiversity consistent with climate change include: more frequent and

intense coral bleaching as a result of high water temperatures, increased numbers of

snow gums growing in sub-alpine meadows in the Australian Alps, and intrusion of
