Authorities have issued major flood warnings for multiple rivers and creeks, with thousands of residents affected. A desperate search is underway for a missing teenager who disappeared after playing in a drain. While meteorologists predict conditions will gradually improve, the clean-up efforts are only beginning. Emergency services continue to monitor the situation as communities brace for further impacts.

Extreme weather like this is only going to get worse with climate change, yet our leaders still refuse to take real action. We need stronger climate policies and better infrastructure to protect communities from disasters like this.

Another tragic reminder that climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense—we need real action, not just disaster clean-ups.
This is exactly why we need urgent climate action—extreme weather like this is only getting worse, and communities are paying the price. Instead of just reacting to disasters, governments need to invest in real climate solutions and stop propping up the fossil fuel industry.
