Tasmania’s tall eucalypt forests will be wiped out by heatwaves unless we step in to help them

>Tasmania’s tall eucalypt forests are globally significant. They accumulate carbon faster than any other natural forest ecosystem in the world.
>We cannot ignore the risks of a warming climate.

Tim looks old enough to have been around long enough to be well aware that's exactly what we are doing, and we're still increasing emissions, so I am not sure why he'd write that? We'd rather destroy the biosphere then not fly and ride a bicycle and that leads me to this bit from the article.

>The forest supports unique tourism experiences and an emerging opportunity for “big tree tourism”.

This is insanity! It's a dog whistle to massive carbon emissions. Tas. is at the arse end of the planet and anyone coming here needs a huge emissions footprint. Even experts are seemingly able to hold two completely different concepts in their head simultaneously; we need to take emissions seriously to protect it but we need to emit vast quantities to protect it. Locals aren't enough to support it, the state has a small population no useable public transport (smaller then the City of The Gold Coast) and is mostly poor, overwhelmingly old and poorly educated.

Here's a tip, don't visit Tas, stay close to home, keep your emissions foot print super low and vote Green in an attempt to move the Overton window.
