Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek says global warming “multiplies environmental pressures” everywhere.
“It heats our oceans, it deepens droughts, it intensifies disease, it destroys habitats, and it worsens extreme weather events which tilt the balance of ecosystems beyond recognition,” Ms Plibersek said.
“The bushfires of 2019 and 2020 are still being felt today.
“Those bushfires were an ecological bomb, ripping through south-eastern Australia.”
