Yes, it’s been raining in southeast Australia – but it’s too little, too late. Now it’s too cold to grow decent pasture. This is called a ‘green drought’.

The South Australian algal bloom is killing an immense amount of sea life. Algal blooms are likely to be more common with climate change (warmer water and longer marine heatwaves, changed wind patterns/upwelling and more river flood outflows to provide nutrients).

The algal bloom in SA is a warning to coastal communities, as well as tourism, seafood and aquaculture industries. It’s a sign of what’s to come as the oceans warm.
