Europe becomes 'heatwave hotspot' as temperatures top 45C

Nations across southern Europe swelter through their second heatwave in as many months as temperatures go above 45C in some parts.

Funny how people are quoting the pacific Islands, the same people cuddling up to the worlds biggest carbon emitter, follow the money as i said, the whole show is about compensation and aid, why on earth would these Islands be hammering this country re climate change when we are minnows compared to China, India, USA and Europe, and there is a big difference between a rising sea levels and a country sinking.

The Tragedy Of Sri Lanka: A Cautionary Tale On “Going Green” - Unleash Prosperity

So your trying to imply that Sri Lanka is not in desperate trouble caused by going green?, now your in denial or just 14 years old and silly..
I guess you call SBS right wing as well..

Green dreams: How going organic helped spark Sri Lanka’s crisis

From growing less rice, to riots, and the Prime Minister’s resignation - turning the country organic became a catalyst for Sri Lanka’s worsening economic and humanitarian crisis.

There's a right way and a wrong way to go about things. Just because they did it the wrong way, doesn't mean you throw the green baby out with the bath water. That's just stupid.
 
I have no doubt that humans are pumping lots of CO2 into the atmosphere and that this is causing the planet to warm. This in turn changes weather patterns. But I am not at all sure that this is an emergency, particularly when exaggerated claims have led to a misuse of resources. Why is change all bad? For example we have had two La Nina phenomena of the east coast of Australia in quick succession. This is unusual but not unprecedented - was it caused by climate change? No-one really knows. But that rain caused floods (which could have been mitigated by proper planning and action) but also gave us bumper harvests in inland Australia for the farmers - that created considerable wealth. So raise the height of existing dams, build weirs and dams that will help control flooding. Since much of Sydney's housing is on a flood plain this would be sensible, climate change or not.

Cheers

Essentially, the widely held belief that it is an emergency or crisis is based on the upward trend of global average temperatures above the pre-industrial age average reaching a tipping point of irreversible disastrous consequences once that average increase in global temperatures exceeds 1.5 and then 2.0 degrees. Currently it is said to be at 1.1 above and already we are seeing extreme weather conditions and changes in all directions as a result and as predicted.

I have no doubt that globally, it is an emergency and humanity can't afford to be slowed and delayed any more.

Climate change is a ‘global emergency’, people say in biggest ever climate poll

Almost two-thirds of over 1.2 million people surveyed worldwide say that climate change is a global emergency, urging greater action to address the crisis, results from a new UN climate survey revealed on Wednesday.

Facts about the climate emergency

The science of climate change is well established: Climate change is real and human activities are the main cause. (IPCC) The concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth. (IPCC) The concentration has been rising...

Why do some people call climate change an “existential threat”?

The phrase can refer to a literal threat to humanity’s existence, but also to the danger that unchecked climate change can pose to our ways of life and place in the natural world.

“There is a genuine possibility that within the coming century, we will hit temperatures that are deeply incompatible with the continued existence of human life,” he says.
 
With human ingenuity, I’m sure a true, viable clean energy source will be found. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.

And lets not forget carbon makes up just .4% of the earths atmosphere

Bops I think the temperatures will increase but the fact remains that at just over 1% of total world emissions australia can't do anything about it even if climate change is man-made, that's not say that we shouldn't explore the renewable path but things have to be done in an appropriate manner and not spurred on by hysteria and alarmism.

It's the most vulnerable in our society that will suffer if changes aren't introduced in a sensible and considered manner.
