Will the Kensington Pride mango keep its number one spot, or will a changing climate see its popularity with growers dwindle?David Karoly, who heads up the Government's Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub within the CSIRO, said over the last 10 years the mango industry"had already seen temperature changes that were impacting mangoes".
"When we look into the future we seen even bigger [temperature] changes for the next 20 to 30 years," Dr Karoly said. "What happens beyond that depends on what Australia and the rest of the world does to limit climate change, but in a worst-case scenario what we see is that in 30 to 50 years from now, we would see temperature changes of two to three degrees warming and that would put at risk much of the mango industry in the Northern Territory [and other parts of northern Australia].
"Mangoes may not be viable in 30 to 40 years time [in these regions] unless the world acts on climate change". Mango grower Quentin Parker has seen Kensington Pride yields fall over the past decade and has decided to try a new variety.
Australian mangoes are not very good at all.
ABCscience noooooo not the mangoes! ☹️
They say there is no such thing as a dumb question. but I'll make an exception in this case. No, slow long term 'climate change' is not a problem, year to year climate variability will always have a far greater impact.
No, our weather has great variety... it's like asking will the one cold winter in 10 move them further North!?

Climate change: The issue that could decide electionIt has been the unlikely key issue that has dominated the election campaign. But less than a week out from the poll, we’ve all missed the point. This is a made up issue ask the people in the marginals and see what you get! So, it appears nobody is able to quantify the cost of “doing nothing”, & also it seems the cost of doing something varies significantly, depending on assumptions & importantly what one views as a “cost” & what one views as an “investment”.... i.e. how long is a piece of string? It’s about the economy

Loss of biodiversity 'greater threat than climate change'Biodiversity loss could become a greater threat to humanity than climate change and we are “running out of time” to turn things around, a Queensland academic warns. The great shifting of the goalposts we know the problems - we just cannot seem to get our acts together quickly enough to save us from the inevitable spiral into the Abyss. We have a low birth rate so stop immigration which will stop population growth and the need to clear so much fertile land 90% of OZ Is desert and we live on top of the rest.

UN chief says world 'not on track' with climate changeOn a visit to New Zealand, the UN head sent out a strong message that objectives in the Paris agreement would not be met amid 'fading' political resolve. Man -made climate change is a fraud being perpetrated against humanity by the wealthy elite. Prove me wrong... Unimaginable and horrific solutions will be inflicted on the lower end of town, if they don't focus on the achievable solutions caused by the higher end of town. Any political resolve on climate change will always cost the low end of town

UN chief slams climate change 'paradox' ahead of historic Pacific tripThe UN's secretary-general Antonio Guterres lamented that the paradox of climate change is that political will continues to fade as things get worse. Is he sailing or swimming across the Pacific? Absolute unadulterated garbage. Climate change every day. They cannot foretell you the weather of next weekend precisely, but they are so confidentially to predict the climate after 20 years! What a joke!!

Climate change political will is fading: UN Secretary-General | Sky News AustraliaUnited Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has painted a grim picture of climate action, saying global political will is fading, except in New Zealand. \n\nMimicking a line from Labor Leader Bill Shorten’s playbook, Mr Guterres says, ‘Governments are still afraid to move forward; they fear the costs of climate action, forgetting that the costs of inaction are much bigger than any cost of climate action.’\n\nMr Guterres has refused to gauge whether an Australian Labor government would be more committed to climate change than the Coalition.\n\nHe says, ‘No secretary-general should make any comments on the election in any country’.\n\n\n\n\n How much will it cost ? Go away buddy Yep, we need to be taxed to death and worry about cow farts to change the weather. At the same time, we must not put a limit on cultural enrichers from Africa and the ME, that would be 'racist'.
