原标题：考研英语外刊 | 极点气候不再极点

hello，小树枝们！今日咱们一同来看一篇经济?的文章：《极点气候不再极点》。

迩来，位于澳大利亚东部的昆士兰州和新南威尔士州有些区域遭受极点气候，数个乡镇发生洪水。据报导，莫里森9日造访受水灾影响的新南威尔士州利斯莫尔市，承诺安设更多的资金，协助东海岸受灾区域从水灾中恢复。该笔资金的数额尚不理解，但其8日已获得联邦政府开支检查委员会的附和，并被描绘为“巨额资金”，包括财务部长在内的高档政府官员估量这笔恢复资金“高达数十亿美元”。

freakish weather is becoming increasingly common in australia

【para.1】the wilsons river broke itsbanks on the night of february 27th while lismore, a town of around 30,000 in new south wales, was sleeping. its residents snoozed through early-hours emergency warnings that “risk to life [was] imminent”. within hours the town was submerged. residents scrambled into their attics. mothers carried children onto rooftops. an army of locals launched tin boats into the floods to save them. four people died.

【para.2】eastern australia has been hammered by what politicians call “once-in-1,000-year” flooding. it has already had a soggysummer because of la ni?a, a phenomenon which triggers downpours there. then on february 23rd, meteorologists warned that an area of low pressure was forming over southern queensland. it sucked moisture from the sea, forming an “atmospheric river” over the east coast. it has dumped biblical quantities of water ever since.

【para.3】brisbane, queensland’s capital, received almost 80% of its annual rainfall in less than a week in february, flooding 15,000 homes. as the rain edgedinto northern new south wales, it ripped up roads and drowned herds of cattle. storms lashed sydney on march 8th, causing a dam to spill over. some 50,000 people in the state have been forced to evacuate. as the economist went to press, 21 people had died in flooding in the two states.

【para.4】scientists are waryof blaming floods on global warming because everything from rainfall to urban development contributes to them. they disagree, too, about whether climate change is a factor in this kind of never-ending downpour. no matter the cause, extreme weather is now a regular occurrence in australia. new south wales was buffeted by

its last “once-in-100-year” floods, which submerged western sydney, just a year ago. in 2021 and 2021 vast tracts of the country were torched in bushfires which destroyed more than 3,000 homes and killed 33 people. unlucky towns such as lismore have in recent years been hit by both fire and floods.
