#ExtremeWeatherEvent
How many lives are at risk today because of this #ExtremeWeatherEvent where temps rarely ever have been in 40°c range due to the coastline of Sydney?
#ClimateCrisis is growing and how long before Sydney and other capital cities become uninsurable, uninhabitable, a relic under the oceans.

This is the burden to #healthcare we have to start talking about. Increased usage of tests, visits, &hospitalizations. All of which consume more resources in our #fossilfueleconomy

We need more studies like this to sho both health and economic impacts of #extremeweatherevent and poor #airquality

Hey people, you can just post pics like "breaching orcas commuting in flooding WA suburbia" without disclaimers – most folks on #Bluesky can instantly take a good AI joke (use Alt text if need to clarify). #FreeWilly #ExtremeWeatherEvent #CetaceanParkway
