The People Behind Australia's Climate Crisis | Java Documentary

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 sceptics. 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.
This documentary was produced by Nova Prod and directed by Laëtitia Kretz . It was first released in 2023.

Australia is big and has resources, but it is still an island. Look at what happened to Iceland, Easter Island, and Ireland. Their soil is so eroded, that nothing will grow. First, the Vikings took all of the trees and the sheep, wind, and water did the rest of the damage. Australia has had its share of invasive species and they are smart enough to keep some trees, but mining and acting like there's nothing wrong with taking the resources, polluting, drilling, and mining, have not followed science or history. Desertification is real and happening all over the world. We have the power to at least slow it down and reverse the effects a lot of the time. We only have 1 planet and 3/4ths of that is water. We need to take care of our only place to live.

People have lived 60,000 years here in constant cycles of drought and flooding, but a boat race is contributing to climate change when 130,000 flights take off in the US (where I now live) is the thing that’s killing the planet?

Also, it kind of hurt my feelings to see people being bought off with natural resources to be little boys with fire toys instead of representing the honesty they espouse given the aforementioned truth of your existence. So if you watched the documentary, like you would know people have been in Australia 39,000 years dude. You would also have seen that juicy ending that just makes my soul bleed. I am pretty shocked you guys are as bad as Cuba when it comes to freedom of speech. Tsk tsk, Australia is not my friend for having eco protest police forces and banning public protest.

It would be great to grow huge grids of desert grass in the desert, 7’x7’, and to grow trees within the protective grids. Desert grass is watered by the morning dew. Trees help bring rain through evapotranspiration. The trees could be watered by a Groassis box which only lasts for 1 year. After that, the roots would be long enough to reach the water table. Also, perhaps 3 car tires piled on top of each other could grow potatoes within upon compacted soil. Perhaps, eventually the compacted soil would become more permeable as microorganisms, water, and soil from growing the potatoes would help the soil.

That first guy shows that humans today are no different from the Easter Islanders, whose civilization collapsed, as they cut down the last tree to put the last Easter Island statue up, so the Gods would save them. He will lose everything because he wants to use the last drop of water to water his last cows!

Boat racing in a drought? 🤣🤣🤣 oh the insanity of it.

[@juliesheard2122]

Australians havee some of the largest meat producing intensive farming of anywhere. This produces methane in huge quantities. I don't know what their answer is but if they don't gind a way to live sensibly on their heating continent, I think they will struggle to survive in 50 years. They'll have temps in excess of 60°!

your settings wont allow me to save this video to playlists

[@frankblangeard8865]

When was this documentary made? All recent news events are about Australia flooding from extraordinary levels of rainfall.

[@MinusMedley]

Flooding doesn't service crops or ground water.

[@Pecisk]

Yes, and that fits current climate change model - big stretches of drought combined with devastating floods.

[@Automedon2]

They have a similar big artificial lake in Las Vegas for the boat people, right in the middle of the desert.

[@chriswahrheit2447]

has always been hot for thousands of years

[@tomnguyen9931]

Thousand of years ago there were not many peoples on this planet. If the population of the world now as thousand of years ago 3/4 of them would be gone.

"Boat Racing in the Year Zero".

[@inappropriatejohnson]

Barcaldine needs to lose the lake right now.......or else be a ghost town next century.

[@SikNic]

Criminal's need water too !! Sad to see what Australia has become .

[@samcampagna1727]

Climate change dribble. Keep doing what your doing the climate would change even if we aren't here

[@granadakimj]

Denying man made climate change is one thing. But why would you insist on paying for fuel? Why would you not try to find another option? Think about that one...

[@KirillySpace]

As an Australian, I couldn't watch much of that. Sounds like whoever wrote this doco got their foundational information from some dusty old encyclepedia britannica and has a very 'dated' way of approaching the issue and took the most unengaging, unrepresentative angle to tell the story.

[@rdallas81]

As if you have any room to talk 😂 (spacePriestess)😂😂😂 Love it

[@larrydugan1441]

The east coast is a common place for heavy rainfall and flooding. The Yugara and Yugarabul people have traditional stories about great floods in the Brisbane river region long before European colonisation, and sediments from floodplains indicate floods as severe as those in 2010-2011 have occurred at least seven times in the past 1,000 years.

[@jeannettelee2806]

Where are the original people of Australia?

[@bostjanerjavec4146]

Today they shoots kangaroos and camells. Tomorrow they'll shoot each other. And they still won't belive they had caused it. Theese are cycles, they say.

[@stevenhenry5267]

And yet they still use coal.

[@CatsOfMarrakech]

Not fully understanding the notion of getting a child to work once they are walking. But then perhaps that's the culture of Australian farming.

[@rdallas81]

It should be that way.. I worked as early as I can remember.. I was doing landscaping when I was 10. Work is good even for kids.. It reinforces work ethic and self sustenance. I owned 4 vehicles by the time I was 16.

[@kittimcconnell2633]

That is all agricultural people's. That's what children are for: laboring on the farm.

[@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531]

Kids who grow up on farms see that stuff all around them before they can even walk and talk. A very hands-on way of teaching.

[@Guitar6ty]

When the Dutch first discovered Australia they named it the land of fire. The Waratanga Australias national flower needs fire for it to germinate as does the Eucaplyptus. With all that sunshine Australia should build Desalination Plants and make the deserts bloom just like Israel does.

[@gcb4763]

Solar panels need to be secured.

[@mullcrumthesage6303]

The Wasteland is very unforgiving this year?

[@mickgatz214]

Going to jail just for thinking about something? 😂

[@rdallas81]

Thought police..

[@mickgatz214]

@@rdallas81 I thought so......lol

[@LowreyContractorsUK]

So you go and live on the edge of a desert and wonder why it’s hot. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Australia is think as shit
