Extreme heat driven by climate change could make parts of the Northern Territory unlivable within the next 40 years, unless urgent action is taken, activists warn.

Some of the issue with all this is that it’s unlivable now becase it will be unlivable in the near future, we’re still stupidly building infrastructure etc and even theb that infrastructure is not passive, it’s “cardboard” walls with a giant AC strapped to the side of the building. I order to undertake managed abaondment, we need ro start now.

I left FNQ 20 years ago, I started to need AC which is the red flag of unlivablity.
