We had a 1 in a 100 years hurricane in 2003. Well since then we have had two others each one stronger and more destruction. So the 100 years is gone. We personally have not had the house or tree damage but so many around us have. I have seen it impact the power grid and people I know suffered major damage to their homes. Sea level is rising and many storms create more erosion of the shoreline. It is increasing, We have had major hot spells and this year a low snow coupled with a very dry for us spring, left our area vulnerable to, and has resulted at early and large wild fires. One was an outbreak in “suburban areas within 7 km of our home. So the reality that this will be happening more frequently or worse is very present danger.

On 9/11/19 my property at Nymboida burnt from a terrible bush fire. I lost my home and shed along with most of my belongings I had collect in my 56 years on the planet at that time. Leading up to that time I experienced very hot weather conditions. Up to 47 degrees on my veranda. I’m now deeply traumatised by that experience. I have made a commitment not to ever fly again. When covid hit and the world slowed down the most polluted cities in the world’s air cleared up. We can stop climate change. We need strong caring people in positions of power to lead us there. Not be influenced by money and greed!
