Traditional owners are devastated by the lack of recovery at the site of Australia's worst mangrove dieback and are calling for action to limit climate change threats.

Traditional owners are devastated by the lack of recovery at the site of Australia's worst recorded mangrove dieback and are calling for action to limit climate change threats.Scientists have said the severity of the mangrove dieback is on a par with Great Barrier Reef bleachingThe CSIRO is warning the world is not on track to halt sea level rise

Traditional owner Patsy Evans had hoped there would be signs of recovery at the site of the mangrove dieback, in the Gulf of Carpentaria. But during a recent visit to the area for the first time since 2015, when she and her husband alerted the Northern Territory Government to the extent of the damage, she was devastated by the scene.She said she wanted policy makers to see how climate change was affecting the land near her home on the Limmen River, 750 kilometres south of Darwin.

"Go out and see what's happening, be aware and look at it, and don't make decisions where you are," she said.

Good to see the good old uneducated racist trolls coming out to play today! Say anything to discredit First Nations People. Shameless undesirable bunch of mayonnaise!

😂😂😂 don’t think so!

One way to reduce emissions is to cut our ridiculously high rate of immigration. Otherwise we are just chasing our tails. auspol

nothing to worry about; it's a hoax...

Politicians don’t go out. They just follow the talking points issued by the hacks in the PM’s office. Not allowed to see and think for themselves.

I am actually impressed with the creativity of the fabricated stories to promote the AGW scam. Here are the facts;You learn to manage the environment and adapt to the changes, because there is absolutely nothing we can do to influence the climate.What is your next doomsday story?

The fundamentally deceptive aspect of this article is how they mix up environmental dynamics, of any cause, with climate change. There is actually little long term data on how dynamic these ecosystems are but the coast was once many kilometers out to sea during the last 50K years

'drop in sea levels' wait, isn't warming meant to make sea level higher LMFAO 😂🤣 🤦‍♂️

Very worrying that mangroves are being scorched.

More bullshit about double the warming of elsewhere. How can everywhere be warming twice as much as everywhere else? 🤔

Look at Australia before himan occupation same as Europe the Sahara we as a species have altered the earth and we as a species now with all these years of knowledge behind us can do something

Can you please explain how sea levels rise 3 times more in a very remote part of the country that basically cannot be verified by word of mouth as nobody goes there, than sea levels do in populated areas - intelligent people don't believe you

Hey whaddaya know? International media are reporting this story which the ABC doesn't seem to consider news. It's about 'the PM', his best mate and the craziest conspriacy theory of the 21st century (so far).

TheirABC continuing with their ExtinctionRebellion mates press releases.

The indigenous have their own weather forecast that is yearly not daily so they suppose to know exactly what's going on to plan things.

Well if they have been here as long as they say they have they would know that climate comes in cycles.

And what action do the traditional owners think Australia can take that make any difference what so ever to Global Emissions.

Should probably worry more about rampant drug and alcohol abuse, obesity, domestic violence and child abuse in their own communities before dishing out free advice

And of course that is completely unacceptable. CroweDM :(
