Adam Bandt: “It’s time to tell the truth: we’re in a climate emergency”
The last time there was as much carbon dioxide in the air as there is at the moment was at least 2.6 million years ago, before humans existed.
Back then, temperatures were more than three degrees warmer, there were trees in Antarctica and sea levels were 25 metres higher.
If we keep polluting at the current rate, we could be at 1,000 parts per million
by the end of the century. Last time that happened, dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Like them, we face an existential crisis brought on by a rapid shift in the climate system, but this time it has been created by us.
It’s time to declare a climate emergency and rapidly-transition our world.
