Urgent action needed on climate before NT is 'unlivable', activists warn
www.abc.net.au
The Climate Justice Alliance says rising temperatures and increasingly severe heatwaves present a direct and immediate threat to people across the Territory, particularly in the Top End.

Extreme heat driven by climate change could make parts of the Northern Territory unlivable within the next 40 years, unless urgent action is taken, activists warn.

Some of the issue with all this is that it’s unlivable now becase it will be unlivable in the near future, we’re still stupidly building infrastructure etc and even theb that infrastructure is not passive, it’s “cardboard” walls with a giant AC strapped to the side of the building. I order to undertake managed abaondment, we need ro start now.

I left FNQ 20 years ago, I started to need AC which is the red flag of unlivablity.

        I think you’re doing a fair bit of jumping to conclusions there yourself, pointing out a good bit of nominative determinism can be just amusing rather than necessarily being ill intentioned.

        If she had a different name and was described as Dr Orca from the Marine Conservation Society that would also be amusing and a comment regarding that could just be that rather than a jab at her.

        I wouldn’t say I dismissed her, read most of the article, seems serious don’t have much to say, Darwin would already be uninhabitable for me, 30 degrees in winter is ridiculous so yeah I think NT should prepare for even hotter days but that’s not worth really saying so just noticed the funny name analogy
