Jody fought drought for 20 years and now, her worst fears are confirmed

When Jody Brown finished high school in 2001 and started to work full -time at his family’s station outside Longreach, the weather seemed to have opened Western Queensland, where a drought continued with two or three seasons breaks for 20 years.

When it was finished, he became a regenerative agricultural student who was the advocate of farmers for climate change and was scary for the future of Australia in a rapid warming world.

When you tell the stories of dry years, you get a sense of ordeal that is punctuated by moments of resonant fear.

At the Latrobe station, his family’s 45,000 hectares of savanni and dry cracking soils, Mitchell grass plains and handle scrub are breathing on over -heated days that hit with greater regularity over the years. “This is a slog. A slow burn. You never know when it will end, or he says.

But at the same time, he realizes that Roos had left Joeys from his bags for a little longer for his own lives, as well as his temporary moments. And in 2019, he remembers that he listened to the radio for a conference for a conference.

According to news reports, the NSW seemed to be burning half, in South Queensland, the drought was still biting. In the north, a flood in the Bible, which would kill 600,000 cattle heads, had entered.

He remembers that he was talking to helicopter pilots who made food and feed ferry for stocks in the north, and he recognized well in cattle camps that talked about strange silence after killing his engines.

Normally, the sounds of birds and insects that fill the warm air went.

Speaking at a farmers at the Climate Action Conference in Canberra last week, Brown said that the feeling of mercilessly hot days came more regularly than ever before.

Professor Mark Howden, Director of the Institute of Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions of the Australian University of Australia, also addressed the conference, served as the vice president of the UN’s head climate, and served as an inter -government panel for climate change.

He confirmed his worst fears for Brown’s Ulus and his four -year -old daughter Violet. Last year, he said the world had violated 1.5 degrees warming for the first time. The reason for this was that the nations had not arrested the carboy emissions, as leaders signed the Paris agreement. Considering the world’s so -called “carbon budget değiştiril, considering the amount of carbon dioxide that we can spread to the atmosphere consistent with any temperature, there is about three years to stop our emissions before the 1.5 degree increase was locked.

“Cold turkey should go to the audience of the farmers gathered for the event, he said. “This is a big question.”

He summarized a diabolic vision of the future in a uncomfortable language. “Carbon dioxide accumulation directly leads to net zero policy. Science and policy is now connected. The problem is that we do not put this policy into effect quickly. And unfortunately, our commitment to fossil fuels or our dependence on fossil fuels continues.”

As if he directly handled Brown’s experience in Latrobe in the last twenty years, howden that greenhouse gases have turned into higher average global temperatures and warmer days in Australia.

Addressing a graph from the Copernicus Climate Group, Howden has shown how much it has been in the last few decades of years, and the number of days it exceeded the average has grown rapidly.

“Returning to the 1990s, even very few days exceeded one degree. If you go to last year, three quarters of the days of the year exceeded one and a half.

“Thus, these excesses change incredibly quickly, and these extreme ends are many times that are really important for agriculture. Then hit your plants hard, when they hit your grapes hard, when you hit your animals hard. And the evidence of how they affect the systems in the world accumulates very quickly and most of them negative.”

Howden said that as the temperatures increase in Australia, the rainfall was drawn to the south and the West, and when it arrives, it is more than destructive torrents rather than predictable, useful fronts.

“Unfortunately, my job here today is to be a bad police,” Howden said.

None of this was not a news about Brown or criticizing Australia’s climate change, and later appealing to the conference, and has not published a much more comprehensive draft about the threat of the faces of the department Australia.

The national climate risk assessment was expected to be published at the end of last year. The delay led to fear that it was increasingly complex in the climate movement.

For more than a year, with bowen and a slightly less enthusiastic enthusiasm, the wider government is trying to secure its right to host the next year’s UN COP climate negotiations. So far, Australia should be prepared for one of the most important annual diplomatic meetings in the world.

However, despite the wide UN support of Australia’s efforts, Türkiye has not yet ended its opponent’s offer. It is now understood that the host will be announced in the UN General Assembly later in this month.

Australia’s reliability in the event is based on its 2035 emission reduction target, as it has to do it in accordance with the Paris agreement. This objective will be determined by the cabinet after receiving advice from the Climate Change Commission, which claims that a decrease of 65 to 75 percent will be accessible and responsible.

Last week, climate defenders and business groups increased lobby efforts on the figure.

At the Climate Farmers Conference in Canberra, Bowen said that Australia would publish a risk assessment before explaining its new goal.

Those who see the gaze of the document define the future of Australia as scary.

Former Fire Department and Rescue NSW commissioner Greg Mullins, who is currently defender of the climate change action and the founding member of emergency leaders for climate action, spoke with a colleague who contributed to the departments related to emergency reactions in a warmer world.

He understands that Australia will realize that the risks on their faces under 1.5 -degree heating will maintain the lines of their faces and that Howden is currently inevitable and believes that they believe that they are inevitable and 2 degrees and 3 degrees.

Dı If I had to choose a word to describe what I have heard? Terrible, Mull says Mullins, from the discussions of evaluation.

He says it is used for two degrees of heating to make Australians sustainable.

“In terms of emergency services, there is no way to cope in the world. When I say Cope, I can overcome the Bushfir and save people from floods.

“With the scenarios we look at, a wholesale withdrawal from the coast due to coastal land water pressure; thousands of houses [in] The areas that do not have a flood plain, but the flood will get worse, will get worse; The houses carry from the raised forest fire.

“This is a show of fear.”

A second person in the report remembers to face details about everything from ocean acidification to the loss of biological diversity, the effect on the supply chains, but the most shocking data he remembered, long -term drought in the southwest of the country and especially around the North Queensland remained underwater.

“[Under one scenario in parts of north] Queensland, 2070 or more, in five kilometers of the coast, 25 percent of the land will be tended to remain under coastal water. “

Although Bowen pointed out that his content would be terrible, the report rejected that he was postponed for political reasons.

“I wouldn’t call it scary,” he said to ABC on Thursday. “But it will face.

“This is a real, scientific assessment. It will show that Australia is a lot of danger and is an important price to not be able to take action. It will show him a clearer picture of nutrition, inertia costs.

Mullins said he hoped that the brutal parts of the report, which he understood that he was included in the draft, were seen by the public.

“What we need exactly for two reasons. To awaken people, especially people working in government or politicians around the world, and to make people realize that we need to make big changes.

“It will be uncomfortable, but if we don’t, we condemn our children and grandchildren.”

Returning from Canberra to Western Queensland, Brown is watching politics playing remotely. He hopes the government will rise with emissions.

“To be honest, I want to see a target of at least 85 percent. Everyone who settles in mediocre goals is essentially kicking both agriculture and nature on the sidewalk, and we all of us are the welfare of all of us,” he says.
