All Australian's are suffering every day from climate change - and an excellent report titled "A climate of suffering" can be found at:

http://www.psychology.org.au/Assets/Files/TCI_AClimateofSuffering_August2011.pdf which highlights the many issues people face now due to the serious impacts of climate change. The report says: "The damage caused by a changing climate is not just physical. Recent experience shows extreme weather events also pose a serious risk to public health, including mental health and community wellbeing, with serious flow-on consequences for the economy and wider society."

"The emotional and psychological toll of disasters can linger for months, even years, affecting whole families, the capacity for people to work and the wellbeing of the community. Higher rates of drug and alcohol misuse, violence, family dissolution, and suicide are more likely to follow more extreme weather events. Evidence is beginning to emerge that drought and heat waves lead to higher rates of self-harm and suicide, as much as 8 per cent higher."

Climate change, can change the climate of a household or an individuals life. Government's, household's and the wider community can't keep denying the issue. All elements of our planet will be impacted upon if we don't act now - but how many are going to take action?
