In short:
Tasmania has a reputation as a refuge from the impacts of climate change, due to its sprawling wilderness areas and cool climate.
Couples like Anna Graham and Jack Taylor have moved to the state to escape the extreme heat and humidity of Queensland.
What’s next?
The National Climate Risk Assessment has forecast key climate hazards for the state, including worsening heatwaves, drought and flooding.
That makes no sense. Its like not living on a flood plain and others choose to
Sure everyone is suffering but at least you’re not wading through a metre of water from a storm surge you were told years aho was going to happen and you moved inland and up on a hill and otjers said “well, it’s like moving to the edhe of the pan to escape the heat…we’ll just stay here on the flood plain!”

I left Far NQ 15 years ago because it was unlivable then.
Feels like we’re discussing two different things here.
These people are moving to escape climate change of heat in Queensland. But the article discusses a wider trend of people moving to Tas to escape the longer term effects of climate change - which I am pointing out, is impossible.
