With the release of a terrifying IPCC report, Australia must face its wilful political blindness on climate

"Ever wonder why an Australian political class steeped in short-termism is so
animated about 2050 — a date way beyond the horizons of those currently in
power?

Partly it is because if an economy is to genuinely commit to emitting net-zero
carbon by 2050, the hard work of adjustment needs to commence immediately. But
mostly it is that 2050 has become a useful distraction from the here-and-now."
