Any good articles or conference talks on AUSNZ Climate Change?

This one's subject matter seems like it'll have some downstream implications:

quote:

Redrawing the Map: How the World�s Climate Zones Are Shifting

...

THE WHEAT BELT IS PUSHING POLEWARD AT UP TO 160 MILES PER DECADE

_{Between 1990 and 2015, production dropped in much of Australia's Wheat Belt due to drier than average conditions. The areas that disappear from this map are those where output dropped 50 percent or more. SOURCE: HOCHMAN, GOBBETT, & HORAN, GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2017. GRAPHIC BY KATIE PEEK.}

Australia, renowned for its interior deserts and coastal beaches, is also one of the planet�s largest wheat exporters � just after Canada, Russia, and the U.S. But the arable land at the nation�s southern edge is shrinking, and its potential for growing wheat declining.

In the 1860s, surveyor George Goyder drew a line to show where the edge of Australia�s arable land ended. More than a century later, Goyder�s line is still considered an important feature in determining the country�s �cropping belt.� But climate change is making that land drier, effectively pushing the line further south.

Any given patch of land has a �theoretical potential� for the amount of wheat it can support, given its soil, the climate, and other factors. Reductions in rainfall and warmer temperatures have already reduced the theoretical potential of southern Australia by 27 percent since 1990. So far, farmers have managed to adapt to the changing conditions and squeeze the same amount of wheat out of their lands. By tweaking things such as their seeds and harvesting practices, they have gone from harvesting 38 percent of their theoretical maximum in 1990 to 55 percent in 2015. But that can only go on so long � farmers can typically only reach about 80 percent of any given parcel of land�s maximum potential. Once they hit that limit, Australian farmers probably won�t be able to counteract the effects of the changing climate any longer. Zvi Hochman, of Australia�s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), says he expects to see actual yields start to drop around 2040. Places like the farming community of Orroroo, currently right on top of Goyder�s line, will be �significantly impacted,� writes Julia Piantadosi of the University of South Australia in Adelaide � they won�t be able to keep farming the way they are doing today.

North America is seeing the opposite phenomenon: Its arable land is romping northward, expanding the wheat belt into higher and higher latitudes. Scientists project it could go from about 55 degrees north today to as much as 65 degrees North � the latitude of Fairbanks, Alaska � by 2050. That�s about 160 miles per decade. That�s not all good news, as the southern edge gets drier, hotter, and less agriculturally productive. One study showed that U.S. farmers will likely have to change the strains of wheat they grow, while France and Turkey will have to invest heavily in irrigation systems. In Asia, half of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, which account for 15 percent of global wheat production, are predicted to become heat-stressed by 2050, significantly cutting yields.

We're at least a decade or more behind the worst of the poo poo happening in the US, but it seems like our idiot politicians think everything the US is doing is something to live up to. I don't think we'll ever let things get as bad here as the US is right now, there's too much of a "fair go" spirit here, in contrast to the FYGM spirit of the US

sneaking some personal whining about keeping australia's borders closed until 2022 but some good points about the failures of the federal government:

https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/05/11/australia-borders-covid-hermit-kingdom/

https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/05/11/australia-borders-covid-hermit-kingdom/ posted:

There are up to 40,000 Australians around the world registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs who identify as “stranded”—that is, they desperately want to return home, but they can’t. One reason is money. The federal government decided early on that the responsibility for administering expensive quarantines, largely in hotels, belonged to Australia’s states and territories, which put caps on international arrivals far exceeded by demand. The cost of $3,000 Australian dollars must be paid by every returnee. (Children enjoy a generous rate of just AU$2,500.)

...

For some ordinary people, though, returning home is not just hard but illegal. There are 9,500 Australians stranded in India who face criminal charges, five years in prison, and around $50,000 in fines under the Biosecurity Act if they try to return home, due to fears over the contagiousness of new variants.

But what about vaccines? One of the richest countries in the world should have had no trouble procuring enough doses for its 25 million residents. The Australian drug regulator approved both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines at the start of this year, but just 9.7 percent of Australians have had at least one vaccine shot.

EOD bot on the streets in Civic in Canberra today. Clearly someone wasn't happy with those tax credits for video game developers.

Also, for some AusPol content. I spend far too much time on flights to and from Canberra. Recently, I was sitting at the front of economy, just in behind where our dear treasurer and Senator James 'Malfoy' Patterson were in business. Fridenberg was on one aisle seat, Patterson next to him. Mid flight, the Treasurer - a very short man - gets up to get something from the overhead locker. He is really struggling to reach it, sort of standing on tip toes, his shirt pulling out and his gut hanging. Patterson, who is like 6'3", is just sitting there smirking at him. The situation is only resolved when an adviser runs forward from mid plane to help get the bag down. tl;dr: Vote Liberal clearly...
