I can understand the need for some secrecy, since we still have to deal with other countries etc… But otherwise I agree, you should have to have a pretty good reason for censoring government reports entirely.
It probably mentioned the 60 million or so Bangladeshis that will be looking for dry land to live on.
When this really kicks off there will likely be war between India and China over water in the Himalayas if not Taiwan to distract the Chinese general population.
They have already lost a lot of their crops this year due to flooding
Massive movements of millions of people seeking habitable land. ( Do you know anywhere near Asia with lots of empty space?)
Agricultural collapse, water wars and disruption worldwide…
It will make the boat people nonsense of the past 2 decades look like a nice walk in the park.
There will be a lot of climate disruption in Australia no doubt, (already happening with fires and floods and rising seawater temperatures) but at least a lot of land won’t be under water or destroyed by high salinity like the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta.
The biggest natural defence Australia has is its hostile deserts to the north west and centre but when 1 or 2 or 30 million people decide they have to move to survive that won’t stop them.
I’m convinced it’s for a good reason, but wait till the conspiracy theorists crawl out and claim it’s secret because the government found out climate change isn’t real.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this article is about the probability of climate induced World War III and publishing the article could increase the risk of war.
I’m willing to trust the judgement of people who’ve actually read the report on wether or not it should be published.
I think it's much more likely that it just shows that climate change is important and the government has been mismanaging the situation so they want to save face by burying it.
This is far more likely imo. I don't trust a single politician on the planet, let alone in Australia, to do anything beneficial for the population without some ulterior motive. The best among us don't go into politics.
I’m not too surprised. Says it contains assessments of risks to the country and there some certain countries near Australia I could see doing certain things to the other countries in the immediate area for certain resources (nudge nudge). And I don’t think the Australian gov would want that to be public for fear of intensifying already tense relations with certain countries.
