The long goodbye : coal, coral and Australia's climate deadlock
Krien, Anna2017
Book
"The Great Barrier Reef is dying. Extreme weather is becoming all too familiar. Yet when it comes to action on climate change, divison and paralysis rule the land. In this vivid, urgent essay, Anna Krien explores the psychology and politics of a warming world. She visits the frontiers of Australia's climate wars - the Reef, the Galilee and Bowen basins, South Australia. She investigates the Adani mine, with its toxic politics and controversial economics. Talking to power workers and scientists, lobbyists and activists, she considers where climate change is taking us, and where effective action is to be found."--Back cover.
