This week, the United Nations sounded the alarm for our climate, this time with apocalyptic urgency.The past 11 years are the hottest on record, and Earth will feel the harmful effects for centuries, according to the State of the Global Climate report from the World Meteorological Organisation, the UN's weather agency.In the Northern Territory, the climate crisis has arrived. This wet season alone has brought four national disaster declarations, plus Tropical Cyclone Narelle which is still making its way across Western Australia.
