Australia's leaders have proved to be among the least ambitious in confronting the climate crisis despite drought and bushfires demonstrating how susceptible the country is to climate change

"To stay within two degrees we need to reach net-zero emissions by 2040-2045 at the very latest: 2050 is too late, we've already put too much carbon into the atmosphere," Professor Steffen said.

For example, concrete produced through renewable power, low emissions heating and lighting in new buildings, electric vehicles in public transport, and so on across the economy."There is no space any more for any more fossil fuels," says Tim Baxter, a senior researcher with the Climate Council. "No one asked for this. There was no international body that wanted a technology road map, what people want is a target and a strategy," he says.

Asked what a comprehensive plan would look like Meinshausen can rattle off a detailed framework from the top of his head. "We have all the technology already. We don't need to look at things that might save us in 10 or 20 years," he says. "We need policy and regulatory reform and implementation now."According to Herve Lemahieu, the director of the Lowy Institute's Asian power and diplomacy program, the cost to Australia of isolation on climate change extends far beyond climate talks.

Any effort made by Australia on climate is token.

Crook as Rookwood!

Fossil fuels industries run the show not the government they just do as there told . Why else would they refuse to acknowledge Climate change ?

...nothing beats the energy density of fossil fuels and the ability of them to provide cheap affordable energy to the billions of people - particularity in the developing world - that rely on it: to deny the developing world the possibility of cheap energy is to advocate poverty

You poor people that actually still think man made climate change is a thing. It’s all about money for those who invest in renewable energy, come on get with reality. Biggest fraud in our life time.

Least ambitious? They're actively trying to sabotage climate change initiatives.

Still peddling professor Mickey mouses 🐥 global warming Cult propaganda?

Not leaders. Corrupt politicians owned by mining magnates. Until corporate media exposes the lie that conservative politics represents anything other than big 💵 interests nothing will change. Corporate media is complicit.

The continued indoctrination of the gullible masses.
