Adam Morton questions Australias climate crisis response, criticizing the government's gas strategy that sees gas as both cause and solution. The article highlights the environment's neglect in politics despite a state of the environment report revealing dire circumstances for nature and species threatened by extinction. Both political parties have failed to act decisively on environmental legislation.
- Gas strategy debate: Gas is viewed as both an issue and part of the solution, raising concerns about government intervention.
- State of environment report: Revealed a deteriorating natural health with species facing extinction.
- Political inaction on environmental law: Promised but delayed national EPA and nature protection funding, raising questions about priorities.
- Climate crisis threat to humanity: WEF report cites degradation as a potential societal collapse catalyst.
- Call for serious action: The article posits what Australians are willing to lose before taking the climate and extinction crises seriously.
