This is a significant step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Australia, but it cannot be the only solution. We must expand our toolkit to remove already released emissions from the atmosphere if Australia wants to make a meaningful contribution
A roundtable of experts convened by the Academy identified a range of novel greenhouse gas removal and storage approaches last year which must be considered in the broader discussion: science.org.au/news-and-event… #emissions

“10 years from now, 2019 won’t have been unusual.”

The 6th joint @BOM_au and @CSIRO State of the Climate report has just been released.

bom.gov.au/state-of-the-c…
It shows Australia is continuing to warm & experience more frequent extreme weather events such as bushfires, droughts, and marine heatwaves.
But what's in Australia's future?

The report predicts:
- Global temperature rise to continue
- Sea level rise to continue
- Marine heatwaves to be more frequent and more intense
- Warmer with more heatwaves, fewer cool days

Peer review is widely regarded as the scientific seal of approval, denoting quality, validity, and importance.

Researchers will not consider a scientific finding as valid unless it has been approved by the process of peer review.

Many in community are looking for answers to the questions about the #science of #GeneticModification (GM). To help more people understand the evidence, today we are publishing a #Q&A that tackles some of the big questions. #auspol
Research by the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) has found knowledge about what foods in Australia are genetically modified is generally poor. A simple google search also demonstrates just how much conflicting & inaccurate information there is out there on GM.
Questions covered in the booklet include: What is GM? Are GM products safe? Where do we encounter GM products? The booklet draws on the knowledge & expertise of our Fellows and the Australian science community. Read the Q&A here: science.org.au/genetic-modifi…
