"The average annual temperature in New South Wales is increasing at an accelerating rate. While global temperatures and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have fluctuated naturally over the millennia, the rapid increase in temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations cannot be explained by natural variation.

Global sea level rise has accelerated over the past century. A range of sea level rise projections has been modelled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which acknowledges that there will also be regional variability. For planning purposes, the NSW Government has adopted sea level rise benchmarks of 0.4 metres by 2050 and 0.9 metres by 2100..."
