Analysis by the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics shows global emissions will in fact increase by 100 per cent by 2050 under the Partnership plan.
In Australia this would result in the destruction of our natural icons, including World Heritage sites such as Kakadu, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest. Global warming of this magnitude would also place untenable pressure on the country’s healthcare and emergency response systems as more people are affected by heat-related diseases, cyclones, bushfires and other freak weather patterns.
