Important updates

While pondering John Hewson’s global warming article (“Global warning”, September 24-30), it occurred to me to ask why we don’t have regular, perhaps monthly, Australian updates on our progress towards our climate change targets. After all, we had daily Covid-19 reports throughout the heavy infectious periods. Nations around the world shared their statistics. Global warming is even more life-threatening. Consider the current high level of deaths and suffering in Pakistan and Somalia. Inevitably there is much more suffering to come, and affecting not just humans. Time to open our eyes and minds, stop making empty target promises and actually take meaningful action.
