Back at the Climate Crisis Summit:

Climate Scientist, Dr Sophie Lewis has highlighted a “catalogue of climate change impacts” and says that things are only set to get worse unless there is urgent action. 

Speaking to the Climate Crisis Summit in Canberra, Dr Lewis said what seems like a small increase in temperatues as a result of global warming, has in fact led to: 

  • Black summer bushires
  • Repeated flooding in New South Wales and Queensland
  • The algal bloom in South Australia 

Just to name a few… 

Dr Lewis says as tempeatures rise, extreme events will “change in timing, distribution and severity,” Dr Lewis said.

“Time between events will decrease… concurrent events will occur.” 

Dr Lewis also pointed out, terrifyingly, that these events will occur in other places.
