"This week, Victoria recorded its hottest day in nearly six years. On Tuesday,
the northwest towns of Walpeup and Hopetoun reached 48.9°C, and the temperature
in parts of Melbourne soared over 45°C. Towns in South Australia also broke
heat records.
This heatwave is not an outlier. It is a warning shot.
These weather conditions rival the extreme heat seen in the lead-up to the
2019–20 Black Summer, and they point to a future in which days like this are no
longer rare, but routine.
What makes this summer so confronting is not just how hot it has been, but
this: Australia already knows how to cool cities, yet we are failing to do it.
Why?"
