Climate change is adversely affecting Australia’s agriculture so it is time to stop talking about becoming the food bowl of Asia.

The 1980s predictions of changes in Australian weather due to man made global warming have become true. http://www.bom.gov.au/state-of-the-climate/  We must act on the predictions of more adverse changes to come, adapt and play our part in reducing carbon dioxide output.

 High immigration, past and present, implies a significant per capita reduction of about one third to meet the 2020 target of a 5% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the 2000 level.
