Is climate change Australia's problem, "Climate change is real.…

- - - - Australia has the space needed to make the country's source of power entirely renewable.
      - Australia already has a massive mining sector, if we used it to mine lithium, cobalt nickel and copper instead of coal we could build the batteries needed to make renewables reliable.
    - - Plants and Animals dying leaves holes in the food chain, leading to more animals dying as their source of food or a plant or animal they depend on is now extinct. These effects will eventually trickle up to us as we are on the top of the food chain. We can see this already happening with bees slowly dying out, leaving thousands of plant species that we depend on at risk as they can't reproduce without bees pollinating them.
      - health effects
        
        Droughts can create water scarcity and floods can contaminate drinking water increasing the risk of water born diseases. Unpredictable weather patterns can wreck havoc on agriculture and food supplies.
        
        Extreme weather and rising sea levels can destroy homes and public infrastructure forcing people to move or migrate, displacing entire populations and causing civil unrest.
        
        Extreme heat leads to cardiovascular disease and respiratory deaths. High temperatures reduce air quality by creating more smog pollen and other air born allergens.
