Hon JULIE ANNE GENTER (Green): I want to start with a quote from a draft of a landmark report which is currently being prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to be delivered later this year. A draft of this was leaked to Agence France-Presse, which reported its findings just a few days ago. The draft warns "of a series of thresholds beyond which recovery from climate breakdown may become impossible." It warns, "Life on Earth can recover from a drastic climate shift by evolving into new species and creating new ecosystems … humans cannot."
