Striking satellite images show how Lake Mead, the country’s largest man-made reservoir, has been transformed by the West’s multidecade drought. The effects could be perilous for the millions in the West who rely on this important water source. https://t.co/HwQXuYJZnB

#heatwave#heatwave2022
Warmest night on record by far for millions of people, final number still to be determined but many stations across the country are breaking the previous record of 23.9°C by an enormous margin.
A very high starting point for another historic day of heat across the British Isles.
For many Australians, the threat of climate change in the form of yearly bushfires is already a reality. Read more about the rising bushfire risk. #StateOfTheEnvironment#NPC#auspol https://t.co/LGp8sHNykn

Wow. A rain gauge near Brogers Creek in the Kangaroo Valley, NSW just received 868mm of rain during the 78 hours ending at 3pm on Monday. This is more rain than Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Hobart or Perth typically receive in an entire year.
“Can you see why hearing a 1 in 100 year flood sounds ridiculous?”
“I think we need to change it. It seems really out of touch for communities faced with these disasters.”
@stephcookemp acknowledges climate change is changing the game on @RNBreakfast#AusPol
The refusal to act on #climaterisk as climatechange & #extremeweather impacts grow is worrying for all of NSW & a real threat to lives, communities & businesses. NSW deserves much more @Dom_Perrottet. As we grapple with our 4th round of #flooding it's past time for leadership!
