"(Climate change) is insidious and essentially non-linear, and has the capacity to deliver shocks and surprises which we are currently not well protected against," Professor Palutikof told the Climate Adaption in Action conference in Melbourne on Tuesday.

...CSIRO chairman Simon McKeon lamented mankind's "love affair with fossil fuel", saying that without it, the conference likely wouldn't have been needed in the first place.

He also said endless debate in the media over the plausibility of climate change had hampered action.

"Change is hard enough, but when science isn't given a fair go in the media it's doubly hard," he said.
