Dozens of fish lying dead on the Darling River in NSW near Menindee after an extreme heat wave in January. We have to stop the devastating impacts of climate change becoming normal," Greenpeace Australia said in statement Tuesday. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison defended his government's climate change policies in January, saying he was committed to addressing climate change globally. "I think (climate change) needs to be taken extremely seriously and in some senses the world is starting to take it very seriously," he said. But NSW farmer Dunford remains confident their luck will turn around eventually and the drought will break, saying there has been extreme weather all through Australia's history.
