Hello! We are three students from the Ecological Effects of Climate Changes course at Uppsala University. We're working on updating the paris agrement in some of the climate change articles as part of our coursework. We're learning and welcome any feedback. FalckisUU (talk) 14:45, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Brisbane rainfall to decrease ... to a higher total?

Latest comment: 22 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"In a RCP 4.5 scenario Brisbane's temperature will be similar to that of Rockhampton today while rainfall will be closest to Gympie. The CSIRO predicts rainfall in Brisbane will fall between -23% (235 mm) and -4% (45.3 mm) annually by 2090 while temperature will rise between 4.2° and 0.9°."

According to information currently on the respective wikipedia pages, Brisbane receives 1,011.5mm of rain per year on average, but this figure for Gympie is 1,117.4. This is not a decrease of 4 to 23%, but an increase of about 10%. Something is wrong somewhere. Or is "fall between -23% (235 mm) and -4% (45.3 mm)" just a silly way to say "rise by between 23% (235 mm) and 4% (45.3 mm)", because, logically, something falling by a negative amount rises, no? 120.22.66.196 (talk) 04:33, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
