So I have lived experience of two big fires - Roleystone and Yarloop. I now find myself working in Emergency services . 

Everything I read, no matter who the author- unis, think tanks, scientists, governments , individuals - whoever , they all agree that we have reached tipping point and our natural disasters are going to increase, compound and esculate.

The feelings of anger at Government inaction , helplessness and anxiety of what this means for us all and vulnerable people is overwhelming at times. ITs almost becoming on par with what I imagine was the PTSD of the post war years was like for many.

How many more catstrphopic fire weather events and peoples lively hood have to be destroyed before the government stops spinning and takes action?

I take regular breaks from media and it all, but its hard not to see every single element in the world around me through the filter of climate change.

I hold tight to the promises that individuals, businesses and industry are making to step up and be the change even if the gov wont. I have huge optimisim in our young people being the agents of change and I will take steps myself to minimise my impact on the environment. These little actions give me hope and allieviate the anxiety , just a little! Id love to hear what others are thinking/coping.
