The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

What is climate change doing to Australia?
According ÀºÆò±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç to Bom, Australia has warmed overall by just over 1C since 1910, with most of the heating occurring since 1950.
Nine of Australia's top 10 hottest ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä« years on record have all occurred since 2005.
Officials predicts that 2019, on the temperatures ±Ýõ±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç recorded so far, will be among the four warmest years on record. Bom says it's expecting national mean °úõ¿ø·ëÀÌ»ç temperatures to be at least 1.3C above the long-term average of 27.5C.
That heat has helped create the ±Ýõ±¸¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç conditions for natural disasters like bushfires, droughts and floods - which have always happened in Australia - to be Çϳ²Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç more frequent and more severe.
Vast areas of the nation are struggling ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± through a second and third year of drought. According to the measurements for 2019 so far, the year has been Australia's driest in over a century.

The difference between the two temperatures ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± is currently the strongest in 60 years. The warmer waters cause higher-than-average rains in the western Indian Ocean region, leading to flooding, and drier conditions across South East Asia and Australia.

The Bureau of ¼öÁö¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç Meteorology (Bom) said "extensive" heat on Tuesday Àϻ꼱¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç tipped the mercury past the previous record of 40.3C set on 7 January 2013.
Taking the average of °ºÏÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç maximum temperatures across the country is the most accurate measure of a heatwave.
Forecasters had predicted the most ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± intense heat would come later in the week, meaning the record could be broken again.
As hundreds of fires rage, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been criticised for his response to the natural disasters and his government's climate policies.

What happens on Wednesday?
Mr Trump is facing two ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß impeachment charges: obstruction of Congress, by refusing to co-operate with the impeachment probe, barring staff from testifying, and holding back documentary evidence; and attempting °³²±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç to use his office to pressure Ukraine to investigate his Democratic political rival Joe Biden.
The Senate is controlled by the president's Republican Party. Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell outraged Democrats last week when he said Republican ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± senators would act in "total co-ordination" with the president's team during the trial and vote against the process.

President Donald Trump has lashed out over his impending µ¿´ë¹®±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç impeachment in an irate letter to top Democrat Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of declaring "open war on American democracy".
With little hope of changing the outcome of Wednesday's vote in the House, Mr Trump used his six-page letter to angrily rail against the ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± process and denounce Ms Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House.
It was a remarkable intervention by the president, who has fought to stymie the impeachment process by preventing key aides from testifying before the House of Representatives.

What else did Trump's letter say?
Mr Trump claimed in his letter Èľϵ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç he had been "deprived of basic Constitutional Due Process from the beginning of this impeachment scam" and "denied the ·¹Çø®Ä«±¸¸Å´ëÇà=·¹Çø®Ä«±¸¸Å´ëÇà most fundamental rights afforded by the Constitution, including the right to present evidence".
"More due process was afforded ·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÔ ·¹Çø®Ä«µµ¸Å=·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÔ ·¹Çø®Ä«µµ¸Å to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials," he wrote.
The Mayor of Salem, Kim Driscoll, tweeted ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± that the president should "Learn some history," saying the witch trial convictions were made in the absence of evidence, whereas the case against the president involved "ample evidence".

Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Minority Senate Leader, said: "If articles of °¼±¸¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç impeachment are sent to the Senate, every ½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«=½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä« single senator will take an oath to render 'impartial justice'. Making sure the Senate conducts a fair and honest trial that allows all the facts to come out is paramount."
Mr Giuliani told the New York Times he ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± passed along to Mr Trump "a couple of times" information about how Ms Yovanovitch had got in the way of potential investigations.
"I needed Yovanovitch out of the way," Mr Giuliani told the New Yorker magazine.

What did Ms Ginsburg say about impeachment?
Earlier this month, the ¿Á¼öµ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç president suggested in a tweet that the Supreme Court could step in.
"Radical Left has NO CASE. Read the ¸¶Æ÷¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç Transcripts. Shouldn't even be allowed. Can we go to Supreme Court to stop?"
Ms Ginsburg was talking to the BBC ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± at an event where she was awarded the Berggruen Prize for philosophy and culture, which is awarded annually to someone whose ideas "have profoundly shaped human understanding and advancement".
