‘Climate change from unprecedented carbon emissions not only threaten the habitats of our unique animals and birds, but also challenges the very ability of them to survive.’ |
It is getting hotter. Day by day, month by month, year by
year – 2016 is confirmed as the hottest year on record globally, closely
following the leads of 2015 and 2014 – and with summer in full swing in
Australia we turn our minds and our national concerns to bushfires, ever more
intense, and to extreme weather events, flash flooding, cyclonic winds,
unexpected parching and flooding of our wide brown land.
And it is not just the Australian people who are feeling
these stresses first hand, but some of the most unique wildlife to be found
anywhere in the world.
Read Tim Flannery’s story on The Guardian - “The threat to species from climate change should provoke shame in our hearts.”
