Climate Change Is Devastating Australia
Heat, floods, cyclones, and massive bush fires are only some of the problems facing this hot, dry continent.
The climate change deniers reach right to the top of the government as the debate over removing the carbon tax, imposed by the previous government, widens.
The cost to the future generations of what is occurring now will be impossible to bear and probably nothing can correct the situation.
The carbon producing sources of energy are tied up with big business and the economy.
The first argument is always jobs.
As huge coal mines are about to come on-stream in Queensland to supply that product to many third world countries even parts of the Great Barrier Reef is in the path of destruction to allow it to happen.
Climate change sceptics are in control of the finances now and they only see the dollar signs and not the consequences of their rush to create more wealth.
That has been the sad history of the Industrial Revolution for more than 2 centuries and no one is capable of changing it.
With temperatures reaching slightly under 50*C in some parts of the country in the last day or so there is even worse to come.
Queensland which has had very little rain over the last few months is a tinder box ready to explode into flames.
It is that state that has a government that is pushing the new coal mines and are among the greatest climate change deniers in the country.
The rivers in Australia have had a history of ups and downs and the treatment they have been dealt since Westerners arrived here speaks volumes about the ignorance of playing money games with the environment.
While the mind-set continues the devastation to this beautiful country will continue as climate change picks up pace.
