The situation in Australia is simply an example of worldwide climate change. Events like this will only get more common in all countries going forward, unless drastic action is taken. You have to solve the whole world's problem to solve this one.

Nothing.

Earth is likely entering a new ice age. Examine solar cycles and the ever ebbing magnetic field of the planet. These are things that the common man has no influence over at all with his daily activity.

Climate change. A season of bad weather and floods in and of itself does not constitute climate change.

What are the long term trends in Australian weather and climate?

And the Earth is overdue for a reversal of its magnetic poles, the process of which is apparently just getting under way.
