A Friend of The
Conversation and a Professor of Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods at
Charles Darwin University, Professor Garnett, along with Senior Research Fellow,
Kerstin Zander, and a Post-doctoral researcher Elspeth Oppermann, points out
that “Extreme heat poses a billion-dollar threat to Australia’s economy”.
“When heat waves hit in summer, do you have trouble
sleeping? And the next day, even though you are working in air-conditioning,
are you a bit slower, your judgement a bit off, or your patience a bit frayed?”
they write.
