Like many before us, the Climate Council is farewelling X. X is no longer the best place to communicate evidence-based climate science or shape national conversation. As misinformation grows, staying on X compromises our values. Head to climatecouncil.org.au to stay in touch.

We know what’s making them worse - climate pollution from burning coal, oil and gas. We must urgently slash climate pollution to protect Australians from worsening heatwaves, and their deadly impacts.

Extreme Heat Awareness Day is a reminder that we’re all feeling the heat – but not equally. Extreme heat is amplifying inequality and pushing vulnerable communities to the brink. We must urgently cut climate pollution to address rapid global heating, to keep everyone safer.

Today’s fires are “fundamentally different to what I saw in 1971 when I fought my first big fire," says Greg Mullins AO, ASFM. Last week, we were joined by Greg - a former fire chief, Emergency Leaders for Climate Action founder & Climate Councillor - for a webinar on fire risk.
