The Wire

A new report by the Climate Council has found that the 2013/14 summer broke 156 extreme temperature records. And the CSIRO’s State of the Climate 2014 report found that Australia’s climate has warmed since 1910 by 0.9 degrees and will continue to rise. But conservation scientists have found small pockets of land around Australia are bucking the trend and staying cool. Some experts think these oases, called microrefugia, could help species around Australia cope with the heating climate.
