Jane Golding (pictured) from Australia's Bureau of Meteorology discusses the continuing crisis in New South Wales and Queensland in the story: "NSW residents warned to prepare again as more dangerous weather forecast".
A story from The Guardian quotes the Climate Council pointing out that climate change is not a footnote to the story of what's happening in NSW and Qld, it is the story - "Climate Council says too many leaders are silent on global heating’s role in ‘megafloods’".
In 'Making Money Easy' Gillian Bowen talks about flooding in NSW and Qld and war in Ukraine in "Energy costs - the impact of war and disasters".
