Can Australia survive climate change? Can democracies? | Beyond Trees 2

Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees:

While COVID19 and the Coronavirus Crisis are currently the main topic in the media, the reality is that new bushfires will come at the end of the year again. And a warmer climate could make them just as ravaging as the last ones. Unfortunately, we can't lose focus on the climate crisis, even in times of a pandemic.

While technically the devastating Bushfires in Australia were triggered by elements mostly out of human control, their unprecedented magnitude did not come out of nowhere. If not directly caused by climate change, the Bushfires in Australia were strengthened by high temperatures and a warmer planet in general.

A combination of local weather conditions and global climate patterns coincided and caused the catastrophe. But on a cooler planet, these causes would have balanced each other out.

We still have a say today in how the world ought to look tomorrow. In the face of the Australian bushfires, we need to ask ourselves: when temperatures rise, what kind of world do we want to live in?
