Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather’s latest estimate of just how hot global temperatures in 2026 and 2027 are tracking to be. In Australia, climate pollution and El Niño together stack the odds towards record heat, aggressive drought, dangerous fire seasons and escalating costs for Aussie families.
“We cannot tackle climate change while approving more fossil fuels. It is crazy to pour more fuel on the fire by allowing fossil fuels to expand," says Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie.
Hottest winter on record. Snow season closing weeks early. Records broken in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. And spring's shaping up even hotter. This is what climate pollution from coal, oil and gas looks like for our alpine regions, but it's not too late to change course.
WTAF 🤬 Yesterday, the NT unleashed a climate bomb by beginning to frack polluting gas from the Beetaloo Basin. Today, the United Nations confirmed we're not cutting climate pollution from coal, oil and gas fast enough, with devastating impacts for us all.
Fracked gas from the Beetaloo Basin began flowing into the Northern Territory power grid yesterday. This is a climate bomb. Gas from the Beetaloo could unleash climate pollution more than three times Australia's annual domestic pollution over the next two decades. Our kids deserve better.
The devastating flash flooding in the Himalayas is a stark reminder of how climate pollution is putting vulnerable communities at growing risk. Our thoughts are with all those affected. Find our full statement on our website.

The unfolding disaster in Europe and North America “definitely has the fingerprints of climate change all over it,” Greg Mullins told the BBC. We must rapidly and deeply cut climate pollution that’s supercharging wildfires to create a safer future for communities around the globe.
Solar panels? Kinda chic. Loopholes that let big polluters off the hook? Not it. Our new report Free Ride shows how coal and gas corporations are exploiting loopholes in Australia's industrial pollution law to INCREASE their pollution instead of cutting it. 🔗 Sign our petition, link in bio.
