One of Noosa's most passionate climate change action advocates has taken to heart a dire warning that Australia must triple its emissions cuts within the next decade to head off a nightmare future. The Climate Council has just released its latest findings that the country must reach net zero emissions by 2035 or suffer the catastrophic impacts of accelerating climate change and Noosa councillor Brian Stockwell needs no convincing. Cr Stockwell said unless local communities rapidly improve their emission savings, Noosa in the coming years could be hit by dengue fever outbreaks, savage heatwaves impacting on an ageing population and regular bushfire seasons similar to the 2019 infernos.
