Devastating Floods in New South Wales

Torrential rains and flash floods are sweeping across New South Wales, Australia. These floods that have inundated properties, closed schools and left many isolated and cut off from essential services like hospitals are made worse by burning coal, oil and gas. This is one of the many devastating ways that climate change is already disrupting our daily lives and it’s only going to get worse unless something is done to rein in the mining and burning of coal, oil and gas.
