Former chief of Australia's defence force says the federal government has failed to understand the risk climate change poses to the nation's security, warning the threat was forgotten in this year's defence strategy. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-0…

"Too Hot to Handle" - A stark new report by ASLCG released today reveals a critical oversight by the Australian government in addressing climate-related security risks. Highlighting the major neglect in Australia's National Defence Strategy. aslcg.org/reports/too-ho…

"The Northern Territory is one place where climate change will impact the nature of a conflict, with increasing temperatures and humidity making parts of it unliveable for most of the year, former Australian Defence Force chief Chris Barrie said" canberratimes.com.au/story/8613694/…

The "Too Hot to Handle" ASLCG report warns that global warming could render some of Australia's top military bases nearly unlivable. Key locations crucial for our nation's defense are facing unprecedented climate threats. Get the full analysis: aslcg.org/too-hot-to-han…

No messing about here from James Hansen: by 2024, 1.5C #climate warming trend will be established. "The first six months of the current El Nino are 0.39°C warmer than the same six months of the 2015-16 El Nino, a global warming rate of 0.49°C/decade, consistent with expectation of a large acceleration of global warming. We expect the 12-month mean temperature by May 2024 to eliminate any doubt about global warming acceleration. Subsequent decline of the 12-month temperature below 1.5°C will likely be limited, confirming that the 1.5°C limit has already been passed." mailchi.mp/caa/global-war… @CodeRedEarth @RogerHallamCS21 @BreakthroughCCR
