Enigin - Oz Heats Up With Temp Records For Last Decade
Australia has been experiencing its hottest temperatures on record over the past 10 years, from 2000 to 2009, with an average temperature rise of 0.48 degrees Celsius above 61-90 average, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
This phenomenon will continue and even increase, and 2010 temperatures are expected to rise of 0.5-1 degrees above average.
A climatologist from the Bureau, David Jones, commented: "We're getting these increasingly warm temperatures, not just for Australia but globally. Climate change, global warming is clearly continuing."
"We're in the latter stages of an El Nino event in the Pacific Ocean and what that means for Australian and global temperatures is that 2010 is likely to be another very warm year -- perhaps even the warmest on record", he added.
Australia experiencing the first harsh consequences of climate change may result in collective enthusiasm in adopting energy saving measures to drastically reduce carbon emissions in the attempt to keep global temperature rises under control.
Becoming energy efficient, via companies like Enigin PLC, allows businesses in Australia and worldwide to actively contribute in reducing carbon output into the atmosphere, which in turn helps reduce the magnitude of climate change consequences.
Enigin energy saving products not only reduce a business' impact on the environment, they also significantly reduce the activity's running costs through the reduction of energy bills (by up to 30% in some cases). This is why Enigin distributors can make an offer no business owner can refuse, stapled to fantastic customer service.
The energy efficient technology made accessible through Enigin products to Enigin customers is essential to achieving carbon reduction, monetary savings and enhancing a company's green credentials.
Enigin distributors are given an interesting business opportunity through the implementation of policies aiming at reducing carbon emissions to curb climate change, and their intervention is solicited worldwide as more and more businesses decide to turn to Enigin to become energy efficient, save money and comply to newly set environmental standards.
Australian opposition politicians have been rejecting the government's key climate policy - a carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) aimed at reducing greenhouse gases causing global warming - and Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, is now able to use this report to attack them on that point.
"Australia is one of the hottest and driest inhabited places on earth and our environment and economy will be among the hardest and fastest hit by climate change," said Garrett.
Mr Garrett also added that "Today's statement finds that the patterns of the last year and the decade are consistent with global warming. It (passing the ETS) is in the national interest and it is in the interest of the world."
The ETS legislation is going to be reintroduced to parliament next month, which may entail an early election in 2010 (originally planned for later in the year) if it is once again defeated.
Reducing carbon emissions is possible by switching to energy efficient systems, such as the ones Enigin PLC distributors are able to provide businesses across the globe, for all the most energy consuming requirements - lighting, refrigeration, air conditioning and motors.
Furthermore, Enigin partners can supply an invaluable tool, the Eniscope, which is a smart metering instrument able to calculate how much energy is being used (and most of the time wasted) by a business. It then makes the collected data accessible in an easy to read format, in real-time, with a display option that provides a full colored salient graph presentation to the user. Business owners therefore have a virtual energy manager working for them 24/7, and can access the energy usage information from any PC, laptop or iPhone in the world, at any time.
The Bureau of Meteorology claims that 2009 will be remembered for "extreme bush-fires, dust-storms, lingering rainfall deficiencies, areas of flooding and record-breaking heatwaves", as 2009 is recorded as Australia's 2nd warmest year ever, with an annual mean temperature of 0.90 degrees Celsius above 61-90 average.
Outback Australia is warming at a faster pace than other parts of the country, sometimes even twice as fast as coastal regions, according to the Bureau.
While large areas of the country are struggling with a 10-year long drought, Northern Australia is in fact becoming wetter, says the Bureau.
"Australia as a whole has been getting warmer for about 50-60 years and it's actually been tending to get wetter," said Jones. "You see this paradox -- the country, particularly in the north, it's getting wetter but is also warming up."
With such pressing concerns at the heart of all governments, Enigin distributors can expect an increase in demand, with all the entailed business opportunities it represents.
