AAP: Job cuts at the CSIRO will leave Australia ill-prepared to deal with climate change or meet its commitments under the Paris agreement, the Climate Council says. The CSIRO recently announced it would halve the number of employees in climate science, with around 100 jobs to go from two main monitoring and modelling programs. The council has looked into the local and international impact the change will have. Its report, Flying Blind: Navigating Climate Change without the CSIRO, released on Monday,...

Instead of just predicting how the climate will change in different...

Guardian: It is the greatest environmental hazard of the age. Nothing focuses our concern for the future more, divides rich and poor, exercises science, business, politicians, old and young. It is an existential threat, a generational battle. All political and financial resources must be concentrated on stopping climate change. But now that governments have signed up to the unambitious Paris climate agreement and pledged to try to limit greenhouse gas emissions, we must ask whether we have lost sight of...
