Australia, more than ever before, ground zero on climate change and impacts.

Need to step up on mitigation and adapt to the extent is possible.

Number of extreme hot days
Increase in the number of days with dangerous fire weather
The South of the continent is drying
And the ocean ecosystems don't scape either, marine heatwaves on the rise
In case there is any doubt, observed climate changes are dominated or exclusive due to human activities, that is, due to emissions of greenhouse gases.

Check "Climate without warming trend", meaning the climate we would have had without the additional human greenhouse gases.
And yes, we have the main culprit...

Last year alone, globally we emitted about 43 billion tons CO2 from fossil fuels and land clearing

Below, all emissions by humans and removals by vegetation and oceans. The difference, extra CO2 in the atmosphere that leads to climate change
