Arguing climate change in the face of 'dams full to the brim' can be challenging, but it underlines changeability

Tom Cowrie has told Melbourne Age readers that "Melbourne's dams are full to the brim - but don't go having 20 minute showers".

And illustrating the damage emerging from a warming earth, reporter Farrah Tomazin has told Sydney Morning Herald readers that "Florida damage among worst in U.S. history as Hurricane Ian lands in South Carolina".
