Australia, one of the most beautiful countries on the planet, is also one of the most polluting. From fires and droughts to cyclones and floods, the country is no stranger to bearing the full brunt of global warming.
According to the Brown To Green Report – an annual review detailing G20 member countries’ performance in environmental matters – Australia is one of the worst performing members from the board on almost all counts: deforestation, coal mining, excessive water consumption, and carbon footprint. Despite this, the Australian government continues to encourage the production of coal, and it is one of the world’s leading exporters of this fossil fuel. Most elected officials in the country are climate skeptics. Green energy is not a priority. And the media fails to address the crisis.
Whilst exploring the Australian desert, we decided to meet the present-day cowboys of the Outback, who live on isolated ranches located hundreds of kilometres away from the nearest village. They spend most of their time searching for water. We also met the miners of Australia’s booming coal industry – who were keen to not only defend their field, but also the way of life it comes with.
However, there has recently been an increase awareness of the climate crisis and people have started to take action. Among them, Aboriginal communities who have always protected and reclaimed nature, as well as activists who do not hesitate to openly criticise polluting companies. But a number of Australian states have adopted strict laws that threaten the right to peaceful protests, leading to numerous protesters running the risk of being put behind bars for their fight against climate change.

When you run out of water don’t come to the United States. Living in Washington we get a ton of rain. Pull your heads out of the sand.
The saying used to be dumb yanks, need to start adding aussies
The stupidity of humans all over the World is realy strange. 😂😂
We are all brainwashed……
Izzy and her mom are the best!
yeah buddy. doesn't anyone get it yet? the planet will survive. humans, probably not. we have engineered our own demise. dinosaurs ruled for at least 100 million years. humans or bipedal big brained apes have been around for maybe a few million years and until just a few hundred years and what had survived that was left behind was mostly crafted rocks.
Thank you! for these great reports.
The insanity. A farmer struggling with water scarcity for his families and his stocks survival, while townsfolk squander millions of litres for boat races
Brits and American… unbelievable.
If you believe in climate change, you're a juvenile, or imbecille. The elites have been saying "the world is gonna die in 10 years" for the last 40 years at least. I know, I was there. "Hole in the ozone, global warming, then global freezing, climate change, then rising sea levels. Meanwhile those same alarmists are buying all the waterfront properties. Why pay 100 million for your house in Marthas vineyard, if it's gonna be underwater in 10 years? Because those people feeding you that horse manure, don't believe it themselves.
Got about ten minutes in and realized it's just more misguided religious people denying science and praying for rain. If it weren't for religion and greed I don't think the world would be in this mess.
The ignorance and stupidity is colossal. Wow.
It's no wonder; they all descended from criminal minds removed from British prisons! If they want to interview someone with a brain, they should stick with the Aboriginal Peoples!
Yes there's climate change.
We are still in an ice age, coming to the end of it.
Soon the world will be ice free , again.
Until the next ice age.
No worries.
Humans disgust me.
I have come to hate my species, especially the Caucasians, of which, sadly, I am one. We shall either be destroyed the Hell that we are building, or the traditional one written in the bible. Either way, we deserve it!
I'm bored of waiting. They've been promising climate hell for nearly 40 years now…and nothing. Very disappointing.
There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis.
Even the biased UN's IPCC AR6 WG1, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", page 1856, section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed:
Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions),
Aridity,
Avalanche (snow),
Mean precipitation,
Average Wind Speed,
Coastal Flood,
Agricultural drought,
Hydrological drought,
Erosion of Coastlines,
Fire Weather (hot and windy),
Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods),
Frost,
Hail,
Heavy Rain,
Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms,
Landslides,
Marine Heatwaves,
Ocean Acidity,
Radiation at the Earth’s Surface,
River/Lake Floods,
Sand and Dust Storms,
Sea Level,
Severe Wind Storms,
Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets,
Antarctic Sea Ice,
Tropical Cyclones.
what a sh!thole
Heartbreaking climate change is everywhere. No one escapes! Wildlife, humans, aquatic species. The planet will kick us off.😢
Their children will curse them as their children die from "Climate Change" related disasters…
They can just drink the sea water when they run out 😂
The Australian government need to pull it's fingers out to drive initiatives to optimised use of natural resources with the best science & technologies.
Carnegie: strange place to raise cattle. Flooding in Aus again in January..
The earth has been through way more than what we have put it through its gonna be here long after everyone is gone. We just need to live our lives and be happy quit worrying about what someone is doing because no matter what your not gonna be here to see any kind of change and your crazy if you think you will
I wish this was just a sketch. Everything is so cartoonishly stupid it feels like a Futurama episode.
The state of Texas was bad enough, the existance of a Continent of Texas is too much.
Oh, it starts with a full dose of moronism… In the 13 years of my Australian life I met plenty of morons like that
"Pioneer life-style"??? Hardly! There is nothing pioneer about that "life-style" anymore!
