* Australia’s climate has warmed just over 1 °C since 1910 leading to an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events.
* Oceans around Australia have warmed by around 1 °C since 1910, contributing to longer and more frequent marine heatwaves.
* Sea levels are rising around Australia, increasing the risk of inundation.
* The oceans around Australia are acidifying (the pH is decreasing).
* April to October rainfall has decreased in the southwest of Australia. Across the same region May–July rainfall has seen the largest decrease, by around 20 per cent since 1970.
* There has been a decline of around 11 per cent in April–October rainfall in the southeast of Australia since the late 1990s.
* Rainfall has increased across parts of northern Australia since the 1970s.
* Streamflow has decreased across southern Australia. Streamflow has increased in northern Australia where rainfall has increased.
* There has been a long-term increase in extreme fire weather, and in the length of the fire season, across large parts of Australia.
Australia is world’s biggest exporter of coal. And the country is even preparing a new mega project: The Adani’s Carmichael mine which will…
* Destroy the ancestral lands, waters and cultures of Indigenous people without their consent.
* Allow 500 more coal ships to travel through the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area every year for 60 years.
* Get access to 270 billion litres of Queensland’s precious groundwater for 60 years, for free.
* Risk damaging aquifers of the Great Artesian Basin.
* Add 4.6 billion tonnes of carbon pollution to our atmosphere
