The Climate Risk Assessment report outlines current climate risks facing Australians, and what could happen at 1.5, 2, and 3°C of warming in 2050 and 2090. By 2050, when worsening disasters are set to place more people at risk, extreme heat is projected to rise, and our health systems will struggle to cope, my son will be turning 30. Those years of early adulthood—when life should be about discovery and chasing dreams—could instead be clouded by anxiety, scarcity, and instability. By 2090, when overlapping natural disasters could overwhelm emergency services, my son will be nearing 70. Across 284 harrowing pages, the report is an incredibly tough pill to swallow, especially as a parent.
