内容摘要：While the climate and global temperatures have fluctuated throughout the Earth’s history, it is the rate of change that is most alarming to researchers. Fossil fuels — made up of ancient decomposing plants and animals deep in the earth — have been dug up at extraordinary rates. Scientists are now starting to pinpoint “details about rates and magnitudes and timing of changes” as well as the varying impact on regions, said Brown University climate scientist Kim Cobb.

Dutton has accused Albanese of “self-censorship” in dealing with China. He described Albanese’s reaction to three Chinese warships virtually circumnavigating Australia in February in a show of China’s military reach as the “weakest, most limp-wristed response you could see from a leader.”Australia complained the Chinese gave insufficient notice of
