Financial Post: In a report supporting Barack Obamas renewed push to fight climate change, the United States Department of Energy said its energy sector is increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods and decreased water availability and needs to shore up its preparedness.

It's a challenging concept, but one Australia's climate change experts say we must come to terms with - fast - if we're to have any chance of avoiding the most dangerous consequences of an overheated atmosphere.
