In too deep

When it comes to climate change Australian politicians are masters at dilly-dallying.
They try to convince us they’re concerned about the issue, but when called to act there seems to be very little unity in parliament. Perhaps they should do what Liam Bartlett has just done and take a trip to one of the most isolated – and breathtakingly beautiful – parts of the Pacific: the northern Solomon Islands. There they’ll see how much deep water we’re all in. With the world heating up, drastic rises in sea level mean whole islands are literally disappearing. It’s an extraordinary sight, and proof positive we must do more, right now.
