Australia is nearing a climate crossroads as the federal Labor government prepares to set its 2035 emissions target — but leading scientists warn current action is far too slow.


A powerful split-image showing Australia at a climate crossroads. Left: a dire future with a ship in a stormy sea. Right: a clean, resilient future with a ship sailing towards a city powered by renewable energy like wind turbines and solar panels, illustrating the path to decarbonisation with eServices4U.

What’s Happening

  • Labor will soon reveal its 2035 climate target.

  • Climate Change Authority suggests 65–75% cuts.

  • Environmental groups push for 80% or net zero by 2035.

  • Business lobbies want 60–65% or lower.


What the Science Says

  • Pep Canadell (CSIRO, Global Carbon Project) warns:

    • We’re already 1.3°C warmer than pre-industrial levels.

    • Climate disasters are increasing globally.

    • Warming is accelerating by 0.3°C per decade.

    • On track for 2.5°C+ by 2075 if we don’t act fast.


Why It Matters

  • Rising climate disasters = loss of life, biodiversity & economy.

  • Global insurers are paying record costs for extreme events.

  • Delaying deeper cuts will lock in decades of damage.

Is It Too Late?

  • Canadell says no — it’s never too late.

  • Emissions cuts can still slow impacts and prevent worst-case damage.

  • Once the climate stabilises, change will take centuries — so speed matters.


The Opportunity

  • Go “full sail” on clean energy, like the U.S. green revolution.

  • Shift to renewables can build a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient economy.

  • Climate action can also spark innovation and new industries.
