Australia the Canary in the Coal Mine |
 Australia has been compared with the canary in the coal mine for global climate change. With an extreme summer culminating in devastating and fatal bush fires, even the biggest skeptic now accepts that something is happening ...
We have climate change. We must examine our polluting practices in a balanced way. We need to recognize the necessity of balancing economic output with the damage on the environment. Agriculture in Australia has been hard hit. Many farms are ruined. Water is tightly controlled and is actually a commodity trade! For those of us in the USA, this seems extreme but it is a reality in Australia. The hole in the ozone layer is getting larger and is spreading. |
