It’s been three decades since global warming really started making headlines | |
The 20 hottest years on record have all occurred in the last quarter century.
And since then climate change has brought increased temperatures, drought, storms and bushfires on an unprecedented scale.
So why has it been so hard for Australia to take it seriously?
That’s the question Richard Aedy is exploring in a new four-part series called Hot Mess. The first episode is out this weekend.
Meanwhile, if you’re a book lover (and who isn’t?), make sure you join our new book club, hosted by The Bookshelf’s Kate Evans and Cassie McCullagh.
In the coming months they’ll be exploring old favourites and overlooked gems of Australian fiction, crime, travel and fantasy – but they’ve started with the big picture: what it means to read in isolation.
And you might have heard that our TOP 5 media residencies for early-career science and humanities scholars are back. This year, we’re extending the program to emerging artists and arts graduates.
If you’re interested in applying or want to know more, visit the TOP 5 website.
Until next time,
Rosie Ryan, Digital Editor
