HERE I AM IN MELBOURNE FOR THE WEEKEND. Melbourne - home of good coff ee, great restaurants, AFL, Australian Open, the Melbourne Cup – and of course, climate change. Byron may be fl ooding, but here it’s a balmy 28 degrees. Or it was – now it looks a bit stormy – that’s Melbourne!
Growing up in the southern city, I guess I became a bit obsessed with climate change. Melbourne’s geography, topography and it’s famous inversion layer meant that the climate was notoriously diffi cult to predict. Make it here as a climate forecaster, and you can make it anywhere!
Perhaps I’m confusing climate change with the weather? I used to think they were the same thing – or at least very closely related. Apparently not! There are experts who say we can experience signifi cant weather events that are nothing to do with the climate, and we can witness seismic climatic change that will have no impact on the weather! Who would have thought?! Can that really be possible? It sounds to me a bit like putt ing Bridget McKenzie and $100 million in a room together and expecting there to be some change left for coff ee in the morning. Highly unlikely! Arriving at the hotel, I immediately switch on the news. I need a climate fi x. And there it is – the weather report. On every channel there are stars like Tim Bailey, Grant Denyer, Emma Freedman, Nathe, Stevie J, Sam Mac, JT, Jane Bunn, Rebecca Judd, Livinia, Brownie, and Byron’s own Magdalena Roze. These celebrities dominate the networks. They are models, entertainers, actors and meteorologists. They cross to roaming weather reporters, out on location. They front weather walls and Instagram pics. They interview surfers, fi shermen, school kids and mayors. They track cyclones, bushfi res, sea swell, and the movement of highs and lows. Their stories lead the news, close the news, ARE the news. Pardon the pun, but the weather is just a front. This is the age of the Climate Evangelist. Meteorologists are her disciples, and we are all the fl ock, awaiting conversion. How should I prepare for the trip home to Byron? Sam Mac tells me to expect it all – rainfall and sunshine, clear skies and thunderstorms, bushfi res, fl oods, smoky days and a purple haze. I’m off to Target to do some shopping. I saw a new multi-purpose, Melbourne made, four-seasons, climate change ready umbrella. It will be perfect for chillaxing in the backyard in Byron – whatever the weather. Cheers…..
