I have first hand witnessed the effects of man made climate change.

The Australian government privatised our rivers, allowing multinational corporations like nestle and a bunch of foreign owned irrigators pump the rivers dry.

It created a drought.

Coby station (foreign owned cotton farm) was making more money selling water to farmers downstream than they were from cotton, infact they stopped growing cotton in 2018 and just focused their business on selling the water, they pumped enough to stop the river flowing downstream and then cattle farmers and towns downstream had to buy the water from them.

It completely dried out the landscape, caused shitloads of soil erosion from dry soil blowing away in the wind, thousands of cattle starved to death, hundreds of farmers killed themselves.

Meanwhile NSW state government increased native forest logging by 800% in 2018.

This increased logging also contributed to drying out the landscape.

By 2019 Australia had the worst bushfires in recorded history.

Parts of old growth rainforests, that normally do not burn at all because of how wet they are were burnt to the ground, thousands of people's homes were burnt, thousands more cattle burnt to death.

Study keyline agriculture.

Read water for every farm.

We can change the climate for our benefit.

Everything has an impact, stop covering the soil with roads and concrete, plant more trees(protecting existing habitat is more important but as long as there are still remnants of native habitat we can reverse most of the damage.

Eat locally grown food, start your own garden, get your hands in the soil and you'll learn to appreciate it a lot more.
