Context and Definitions:

• The average annual temperature in Australia has increased by up to 1 degree across most of Australia for the past 20 years. The upward trend is also occurring in southern regions to a lesser degree, with an increase of up to 0,5 degrees.

• Even though the consequences of the temperature rise in Australia are already dramatic (bushfire crisis), there is still a part of the population as well as people in power who deny the correlation between human action and climate change.
