Climb Sydney Harbour Bridge with BridgeClimb | PlanetEye Traveler

“Standing 134 metres above Sydney Harbour, a BridgeClimb is not for the faint-hearted. But if you can summon the courage it’ll be worth it. There’s nothing like the satisfaction of conquering this massive arch while taking in the spectacular Sydney view…”

Shocking Climate by Michael Hall

The Daily Beast Media Gallery:

“Photographer Michael Hall decided to turn his lens on the effects of global warming after a brush with death. Hall was run over by an 18-wheeler and nearly killed while bicycling.

After he recovered the ability to walk, Hall traveled around Australia to document the effects of a blistering drought on the nation caused mostly by global warming. “I’m taking very beautiful imagery of quite a tragic subject,” Hall told The Daily Beast of his photos, which document the shocking effects of global warming. Australia is the driest habitable continent, and has been among the first to feel the impact of climate change on its natural drought cycle.

End of the world by Jane G

Sydney, Australia

Via exitclosed:

I woke up this morning and the sky was bleeding.

If you haven’t heard, here are the latest headlines from the Sydney:

• Sydney turns red: dust storm blankets city
• Global warning: dust storm just the beginning
• Dust haze hazard for drovers’ sheep
• Half-empty classrooms and missed excursions
• Highest air pollution on record

That last one starts with:

“The dusty blanket that wrapped itself around Sydney this morning pushed air pollution levels to 1500 times their normal levels - the highest on record, a climate scientist says.”

Red Crab Crossing by Alan Thain

Chrismas Island is a territory of Australia located in the Indian Ocean that just happens to be home to estimated 120 million red crabs.

Each year, in November, all these crabs get up an migrate towards the water in order to spawn. They travel across roads, towns and golf courses and it’s estimated that the motorists squish about 2 million crabs each year… But, Hey! All-you-can-eat crab buffet!

Here’s a video that would be a bit freaky, if it wasn’t so corny.
