- Anthony Albanese warned Australia faces a hazardous summer likely including floods, cyclones and extreme heat
- Albanese attributed the threat to a 'super El Niño' brewing in the Pacific
- Albanese delivered the warning at a pre-Cop event to delegates in Tuvalu and Fiji
- Albanese framed climate change as 'here right now,' presenting it as an immediate rather than future threat
Why it matters: By choosing Tuvalu and Fiji — low-lying Pacific island states on the front line of climate impact — as the venue for a domestic weather alert, Albanese fuses Australia's summer risk into the Cop negotiating agenda, reframing climate finance and adaptation talks as urgent survival issues for both vulnerable neighbors and Australians.
