Western Australian nature & climate experts and farmers are holding a press conference outside parliament today warning of the dire nature & food production impacts in the wake of WA’s record breaking summer #WAClimateCrisis

“This is a crisis. It’s our hottest & driest summer ever recorded in WA. It’s having devastating impacts on our environment. This is a climate & ecological emergency. We urgently need the state gov to start acting like its one, incl no support for new fossil fuels” - WA Forest Alliance

'Gas puts us on the highway towards a global warming catastrophe, the beginning of which we are seeing here in Western Australia. People throughout the region are upset, angry, anguished by what they are seeing happening to their favourite places' -Bill Hare

'It’s the beginning of what will be terrible decades ahead - of increasing drought, heat & the aridification of south-west WA.

It's one of the most rapidly drying places on the planet & there's been about a 20% reduction in rainfall since the 1970s' - Bill Hare
