Day 22 cont 🌀🌊🔥💨

“The #Coalition (#LNP, #Liberal, #Nationals) is refusing to say if it will introduce any #policies to cut #Australia’s #greenhouse #gas #emissions in the next decade as it pledges to #unwind most #ClimateMeasures introduced under #Labor.

#PeterDutton’s position on the #ClimateCrisis came under scrutiny last week after he gave contradictory answers on whether he accepted mainstream climate science. Asked during a leaders’ debate on the #ABCAustralia whether #ExtremeWeather events were worsening, the opposition leader said: “I don’t know because I’m not a #scientist”.”

Say IT AS IT IS.

The #LNP under the leadership of the #PeterDutton has no policies. Policy changes are random.

The #ClimateCrisis fueled #ExtremeWeather is compounded by #Trump’s #TradeWar & the admin targeting federal programs & staff, leaving #farmers reeling & resigned to needing another #bailout.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty around & I hate to be used as a bargaining chip. I am definitely worried,” said Travis Johnson, who lost >1k acres of cotton, sorghum & corn after a year’s rain fell in 48 hrs in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in TX last month, turning parched fields into lakes.

With #ExtremeWeather & Trump’s #TradeWar, US farmers are reeling & resigned to needing more cash help

Farmers across the #UnitedStates say they could face financial ruin – unless there is a huge #taxpayer funded bail out to compensate for losses generated by Trump’s sweeping cuts & chaotic tariffs.

"The only parts of Europe that aren’t being boiled dry are being washed away in floods. The EU must urgently update its climate targets to reflect the scientific reality, and put a stop to new fossil fuel projects as a first step to a full phase-out." – Thomas Gelin, climate campaigner at Greenpeace EU

And why would Trump care about lobsters?

But the #PineTreeState is far from immune. "Fossil fuel-driven climate change is intensifying #HeatWaves, #flooding and other #ExtremeWeather events.

"Sea levels here are forecast to rise approximately 4 feet by the end of the century, forcing coastal communities, shipyards and military installations to prepare and adapt. " 'This is a guaranteed threat,' said #AmyEshoo, director of #MaineClimateActionNow. 'It’s not one we can negotiate with. It’s not one that we can put #tariffs on. It’s not one we can go to the table with. We unleashed it. It’s here. We’re feeling its effects. Maine is definitely feeling them.'
