The change in climate continues and for the most part the politicians largely ignore it.
James Hansen from NASA said this week:
“If further global warming reaches 2 or 3 degrees Celsius, we will
likely see changes that make Earth a different planet than the one we
know. The last time it was that warm was in the middle Pliocene, about
3 million years ago, when sea level was estimated to have been about 25
meters (80 feet) higher than today,”

And separately in Victoria an unseasonal frost devastated fruit.
“This follows five years of drought, hail last year at Shepparton
East, the devastating frost of 2003 and record prices for water,” Dr
Stone said in a statement.
“If the state declares a natural disaster, they will be able to seek
reimbursement for up to 75 per cent of their costs from the Federal
Government once their expenditure reaches a certain threshold.
