Some key Economic Impacts of Global Warming:

1. Effects on agriculture

One of the effects on agriculture in Australia is that farmers are no longer able to grow rice in the rivera region of NSW. This has lead the the largest rice processing plant in the southern hemisphere closing down, which has adversly affected the local community.

Global warming has actually increased the volume of tuna being caught in the Port Lincoln region of South Australa. Thus, global warming has actually had a postive effect on this community, which incedently, is the most overweight community in Australia.

Tuna mornay lovers will be impressed that they can still indulge in this 1970's dish, however the fried rice lovers are not so happy.

2. Infrastructure 3. Migration 4. Water scarcity 5. Health 6. Insurance

Australia wil be particularly affected by climate change as many of our industries are energy intensive. Agriculture and primary industries will be particularly affected**
