ABC INTERVIEW - with Jess Naunton & Professor Zoltan Sarnyai

When we consider climate change we need to differentiate between climate change and extreme weather events such as cyclones and bush fires, and there's the other aspect which is an increase in temperature and elevated sea levels. When we think about heat waves and an increase in temperature, there is an actual fact of rising temperature in our body's physiology. We know increasing temperatures and the difficulty the body has in regulating that temperature, resorts to changes in the brain.
