The Australia Institutes Climate and Energy Director Richie Merzian says Australia is experiencing longer summers as a consequence of climate change. New research from the Australia Institute found summer temperatures were experienced for an average of 31 days longer between 1999 and 2018 when compared to the 1950s. Mr Merzian told Sky News a longer summer would have a number of impacts across many different sectors.
