Australian Outback Drying Up
In Australia, there is a town by the name of Euchareena in the Southeast region, only a few miles outside of Sydney. This town, like many others in Australia, have little to no clean drinking water. The crippling droughts that Australia is experiencing right now are due to the dramatic effects of Climate Change on the rural Australian Outback. Entire rivers and water reserves are drying up, leaving locals with little to no water left for use or consumption. Experts believe that within the next 10 years, some parts of Australia will become completely uninhabitable.
I believe the impact of Climate Change is all ready too much for politicians to ignore and put at the bottom of their agendas. The effects are already making life in some areas of the globe impossible, and with a growing human population, Climate Change may end the species faster than anyone is willing to realize.
I think, especially in this case, predictions on climate change are horribly wrong, as much of Australia is inherently dry. To say that the territory will be uninhabitable if the trend continues is foolish, as quite often temperature fluctuates. Even more so, for evidence, the global temperatures have fluctuated such as the Roman Warm Period or the cooling Dark Ages. Although activists would make it seem as if none of this has ever happened before, quite honestly, it has. There are 3 recording warming periods that we know of, so why should this one be any different.
