Millions of Australians are facing dire consequences caused by climate change, a landmark report has revealed.

Rising oceans and flooding caused by climate change will threaten the homes and livelihoods of over a million Australians by 2050, a report warned on Monday.

The National Climate Risk Assessment also warned that fatalities from heat-related illness will soar.

Australia will endure more frequent and extreme climate events, often happening simultaneously, which will put pressure on industry, services and infrastructure, the report found.

In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.

Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.

In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.

Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now. <-- you are here
