CMDR Steve Cole Navy Environment Manager Navy Strategic Command November 2010 Carbon dioxide and the atmosphere
“Fossil fuels”
CO2 mostly accumulated by plants over 60 million years during the Carboniferous period (300 million years BP) Stored in organic form as coal, oil, gas etc.
Accumulated CO2 being rapidly released to the atmosphere by human activities.
Carbon dioxide and the atmosphere
>25% rise in 30 years Climate change challenges
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.” (4th IPCC Report 2007).
! " ##$%&&' Primary effects of climate change
Coastal inundation Increasing temperatures More frequent heavy precipitation events (rainstorms, floods or snowstorms) in many areas Higher sea states and wind speeds More intense and longer droughts over wide areas Water and resource scarcity Degradation/changes to natural habitat and species resilience/distributions Coastal inundation
Rising sea level in Australian waters $ #& %& $ () ) #& $#% %#&& *+ ,
Primary causes: Ice melt and thermal expansion Thinning ice caps in west Antarctica.
%&& % ) - %&#& ( + Coastal inundation
0.5m sea level rise by 2050, ca. 1.2 m by 2100 (ACE CRC Report 2010)
Sea level rise for Sydney currently 1.3 mm per year and accelerating.
Paleoclimate information supports the interpretation that the warmth of the last half century is unusual in at least the previous 1300 years.
The last time the polar regions were significantly warmer than present for an extended period (about 125,000 years ago), reductions in polar ice volume led to 4 to 6 metres of sea level rise. Rising temperatures
Temperature effects – greater energy consumption
. (/ / More severe storms
Severe storm incidence likely to increase More energy in system
. (/ / Higher sea states and wind speeds
Maritime activities of all types may be further impacted, especially those that are sea/wind state limited.
Helicopter operations Boarding operations Berthing operations Southern ocean access
Operational impacts: Search and rescue obligations will expand from more extreme weather events and increased access to the Southern Ocean.
MV Explorer . The Age Resource limitations
Need to upgrade/replace infrastructure will come at a time when resources may be required elsewhere as Australia adapts to climate change impacts. Ports will be required to meet any mandated energy savings and carbon dioxide emission targets Water scarcity will continue to limit activities on the driest inhabited continent.
CUF Henderson Impacts on natural environments
Environmental impacts: Environmental approvals for infrastructure activities will be complicated by assessment of vulnerabilities of species to climate change. Approvals for activities that cause habitat loss (dredging, port expansion) may become more complex.
Maintenance dredging Climate change infrastructure implications
Infrastructure impacts: Reduced performance of stormwater drainage systems Reduced wharf deck clearances Reduced performance of breakwaters More maintenance, greater costs Increased energy requirements Loss of some coastal facilities
Improving shore infrastructure resilience is challenging.
Likely this will be the largest cost imposition. Resilience to climate change
Infrastructure vulnerable from dual impacts of sea level rise and storm events. Adaptation will be required. Emissions reduction targets aim to reduce further impacts. Infrastructure replacement or modifications for climate resilience will be costly and come at a time when Australia is facing multiple impacts.
Port and infrastructure vulnerability assessments recommended to determine scale an cost of adaptation. Climate change impacts
