8.4 Climate Uncertainty • Although there are widely varying opinions on this issue, the general scientific consensus is that there has been a shift in climatic patterns. • Based on the most widely held view, climate uncertainty will put increased pressure on the shire funds. At the same time it will create opportunities. • Scientists forecast more unseasonal and extreme weather events such as the recent floods which will have two types of climate change impact: 1. Direct effects from global warming 2. Impacts from change abatement policies. • The increase of such events also has the potential to lead to greater insurance costs (due to extreme weather events) and demand for health services (more days over 30 o C), given Gannawarra’s ageing population. • However, Gannawarra is also well-placed to take advantage of carbon tax and remission policies, and turn climate uncertainty into a positive through embracing the following: -‐ Solar energy -‐ Carbon sequestration -‐ Vegetation offsets -‐ Carbon credit -‐ Salt remediation -‐ Eco tourism Gannawarra Shire Council 2010 Gannawarra 2025, Strategic Community Plan 28
