In Australia we are moving in the right direction towards more energy efficient houses, solar and now batteries. By no means are we close to the low emission society, but 500Pj of renewable electricity generation in a year is not bad, and increasing day by day

You mean you finally have a (president? Prime Minister? Whatever it is) hat doesn't do everything they can to kill the great barrier reef ?

Need to drop meat & dairy consumption in rich nations if we have any hope of managing climate change while we transition out of fossil fuels, which will take time.

Its already too late though. Even if we stopped all emissions suddenly we would still get the increase of 4 degrees

This is just not true, to my understanding. The climate scientists I've seen talking about it say that if we stop emitting, climate change will start reverting. What's your source on this?
