Farming under climate change

National Science Week is almost here

View as a webpage   Our future on a hot planet More severe fires, droughts, floods and cyclones are on the cards as global warming is set to take an even stronger hold over the next 10 years, according to the latest report from the IPCC. But some farmers in South Australia's Eyre Peninsula are already finding ways to adapt to an uncertain future of climate change.  In brighter news, National Science Week kicks off this Saturday across the country, and our citizen science project Hoot Detective is starting to take flight with almost 3,000 owl calls detected!  You can also win an amazing pair of binoculars to take along on all your nature treks — or even use in your backyard. We've also got some great science and nature shows on ABC TV and iView. Check out the first episode of Back to Nature — the perfect antidote for lockdown — and discover the chemistry of us in The Chemical World.
