So very important that the Australian Government has released its evidence-based climate risk assessment.
It explains so clearly that climate risks are not far off, but right now and very soon.
Risks are not limited, but widespread and, indeed, touch us all.

Breaking: First climate risk assessment finds 1.5m Australians at risk from sea level rise by 2050
One and a half million Australians are at risk from sea levels rising by 2050 unless climate change can be limited, Australia’s first national climate risk assessment warns.

If the role of subglacial water in Antarctic ice loss is not properly accounted for, future sea level rise may be vastly underestimated, researchers warn in this crucial new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social ⬇️
A new study by researchers in Tasmania, Finland and France — published in @naturecomms.bsky.social today — reveals that water flowing beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a much bigger role in ice loss than current models assume.

Antarctica’s hidden threat: meltwater under the ice sheet amplifies sea-level rise
A new study found parts of Antartica could pass a tipping point for mass ice sheet losses as soon as 2050 – pushing sea levels 2 metres higher by 2300 than currently predicted.

Water flowing under the Antarctic Ice Sheet lubricates the base, speeding ice flow into the ocean. Most models oversimplify it.
We showed just how much that matters—especially near the grounding line.
