Top Scientist Warns: Australia Must Go ‘Full Sail’ on Decarbonisation or Face Dire Future

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.

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.
