sourceAUSTRALIA'S water problems could become at least seven times worse unless climate change is tackled, according to the author of a major international report on global warming.
Former world bank economist Sir Nicholas Stern released his Review on the Economics of Climate Change this week, saying global warming risked forcing the world into another depression on the scale of that of the 1930s.
Sir Nicholas said if temperatures were allowed to continue rising at the current rate, Australia's water problems would become more severe and coastal cities would be threatened by large sea level rises.
