“No one is officially telling Australian people that we have officially passed 1.5 degrees,” says the independent member for Warringah. “The question now is, how much below two degrees can we stay? “Most experts are saying we’re actually on track for 2.6 to three degrees. Now, that is catastrophic in some areas. So, I think it’s recklessly negligent of either major party to fail to properly inform the Australian people of the risk ahead.” “Credible security experts have made it clear this ONI report has likely made very strong statements linking climate change with national security. However, once you are told that in a confidential briefing, this effectively gags you from saying that again because you had that reinforced in secret.”

Also…They’re worried what the public will think about spending money to mitigate?! Do only business conglomerate monied count as “public?!”
