Scientists are developing a digital twin of Earth that creates and tests simulations to predict future events like extreme weather and food shortages to help world leaders better prepare.
A TV reporter was grabbed, jostled and gnawed by a moaning zombie from the notorious Extinction Rebellion climate change protest group on Tuesday.
The attack happened to Sunrise Queensland correspondent Bianca Stone during a live cross as she was covering the group s attention-grabbing protest outside Parliament House, for which the protesters dressed up as zombies.
No blood was drawn during the incident, which amounted to a noisy stunt to gain attention for the climate change activists agenda.

Ms Stone demonstrated admirable patience as the heavily-made up protester pawed her and loudly groaned non-stop throughout the cross.
He attacked climate sceptics in a speech to the United Nations, blasting those who say this is all green stuff from a bunch of tree-hugging tofu munchers and not suited to international .. politics .

But according to the team s findings, the most dramatic part was the lead-up to the reversal, when the poles were migrating across the Earth. Earth s magnetic field dropped to only 0 to 6 per cent strength during the Adams Event, said Professor Turney. We essentially had no magnetic field at all – our cosmic radiation shield was totally gone.
During the magnetic field breakdown, the Sun experienced several grand solar minima (GSM) – long-term periods of quiet solar activity.
Even though a GSM means less activity on the Sun s surface, the weakening of its magnetic field can mean more space weather – like solar flares and galactic cosmic rays – could head Earth s way.
