    Abstract

    ![CDATA[We present an analysis of the association between daily temperatures and mortality that we conducted for the Australian government’s Climate Change Review (the Garnaut Review), which explores for the first time the differential effects of temperature on mortality in Australia according to region and uses these baselines to model likely climate change impacts. Compared with much of Europe and North America, with whom Australia shares a substantial proportion of its genetic and cultural heritage, Australia is a relatively hot countr]]
