Maybe more about seen to be doing something with no real intention of really doing anything. By the time the report comes out, it is yesterdayâs issue and things have moved on.

Nearly as exciting (not) as the scientifically measured up to 1.44C increase in average temperatures in Australia since 1910. At least with mozzies you can slap on repellant and upgrade to high tensile steel mesh fly screens.

There are many tipping points and no one really knows the point of when we may cross many of them. If CO2 and similar GHGs can be extracted/removed things may improve, in saying that there isnât currently anything big enough in place to do it. The rise in Methane release is real but how much it will add is still an unknown. Hopefully on-going research can help us answer many of these questions/debates and also mitigate our foolish continued use of large amounts of Fossil Fuels.
