Extreme heat is killing Australians, with heart disease impacts set to more than double by 2050
“Although our study is focused on Australia, the fundamental link between higher temperatures and increased cardiovascular risk has been documented globally. While the specific risks may vary depending on local climates, population demographics and levels of adaptation, the overall trend – that higher temperatures lead to more cardiovascular disease burden – is likely relevant in many parts of the world.”
"Climate change is a hoax" - Majority of Australian voters.
Yeah, nah. It’s one of the biggest issues people have behind cost of living.
OK, I was wrong, 40% of Aussies believe climate change is caused by humans. It's not the majority.
As for policy issues, the Australian National University found that global warming was #3 on policy issues (page 9 of study at 10% of responses). That also reflects in the vote with Greens getting only 12%.
Just like many other things, people have experience it to understand. Unfortunately, it might be too late when people do change their mind about climate change and accept that it is a major issue.
Behind cost of living? Climate change will escalate that pretty quickly with failing crops, water shortages, new diseases like we have with bird flu now, the rising need for air conditioning… the list could go on and on.
