An unusually warm
autumn in Victoria and never seen before floods in Serbia and Bosnia seem
disconnected and remote, but they are not.
Linking these two apparently disparate events is the earth’s
damaged climate – the fingerprints of climate change are all over both.
Today’s Age
reported about Melbourne’s, and most of south-eastern Australia’s, autumn
heatwave in a story headed: “Heat’s on and we’re having a ball”.
Several pages later it wrote about the Serbian and Bosnian
floods in a story headed: “Floods sweep Serbia and Bosnia”.
Those two stories needed to be side-by-side in support of a
covering story about the diverse and wide-ranging implication s of climate change,
and when that happens we will have made a significant step toward helping our
community understand just a little about the seriousness of climate change.

ReplyDeleteWhether you play the lotto or do something else entirely, please do what you can to support the victims of flooding in these difficult times. Thank you!
Thank-you Johan, but life's a big enough gamble already without voluntarily worsening the odds.
