Australian ski season potentially cut by over a month due to climate change, affecting alpine ecosystems.
New modelling by the Australian National University shows that Australia's ski season could be cut by over a month due to climate change, putting the unique alpine ecosystem under threat. The research warns that under a high-emissions scenario, Australia's popular ski resorts could have snow seasons of only a few days by 2080. The average snow season at alpine resorts has already shrunk by 30% in recent decades. If climate mitigation efforts are made, snow in the country will still become much rarer.
