⏱️ The 43rd edition of our newsletter is a five-minute read.  

Morning all,

You might’ve seen earlier this week that the National Climate Risk Assessment has finally been released by the Federal government. This is the report that tells us what will actually happen when the planet warms up. It’s not great.

Much of the report detailed things we already knew. We will have more heatwaves and more droughts. Our coral reefs will suffer, as will our agriculture.

Unless climate change can be limited, it is estimated 1.5 million Australians will be at risk from rising sea levels by 2050. That might seem like a long way away, but it’s as far away as we are from 2000. As far away as we are from "Ms. Jackson", “Kid A”, and "Weapon of Choice".

We’ll see later this week what federal Labor plans to do about it.

Now, that’s a bit of a heavy way to kick off the morning, so here’s a comic to lighten the mood.

Let’s get into the news.

That’s all from me.

As always, feel free to email me at [email protected].

Cheers,

Huw
