It is now well understood that humans ultimately depend on the health of the planet for their wellbeing.

Some people are born with the necessary gift, and some work hard to build on the few gifts they have.

In particular, Australia, because of its ancient geography, soil profile and distinctive weather patterns, is more adversely affected by climate variability than some other continents.

This is the rollcall of evolution happening in the space of a few generations, the greatest loss of living things that make up our biodiversity since the disappearance of the dinosaurs.

Humans remain entirely atmosphere dependent, so there is no choice but to respond to extreme climatic behaviour and its many effects.
