Climate News: Leaders too afraid to acknowledge climate influence; EVs now Australia's top selling cars; The world rushes past 1.5 degrees celsuis

from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean

Former Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, refused to acknowledge climate change when the country was ablaze in 2019/20, and now the present PM, Anthony Albanese, follows the same path despite UN warnings and the collapse of the "third pole" in Nepal. "The shift is now absolute’: China’s BYD says Australia just passed its EV tipping point"; "Many Italians Long Resisted Air-Conditioning. Then Europe Got Hotter."; "We’re In Deep Shit, But Not Because of El Niño"; "Australia called out as world hurtles past 1.5 degree warming goal"; "Urgent Global Response Needed to Prepare for ‘Literally Off the Charts’ Supersized El Niño, Says UN"; "Australia cannot deny its share of the climate catastrophe"; "It’s Not Just You. America Has Gotten Much Hotter.".
