Australia’s ski season getting shorter amid threat from climate change

The third week of August is typically the best week for Australia’s ski season, but warm air and unfavourable conditions have stalled the snow this year. While this year’s season is recoverable, it comes as climate change threatens to completely upend the industry. Year on year, Australia’s ski season is getting shorter amid the impacts of climate change. Modelling by Australian researchers suggests the ski season could be under threat if greenhouse gas emissions aren’t reduced.
