Yet the pure air they have gathered there for decades is a benchmark for the world. Artist Jessie Boylan went to Tasmania to find images of the long emergency exemplified by creeping parts per million of CO2 from 350 to 410.7 measured today at Cape Grim.She asks,  why is so much destruction of the Biosphere sold to us as advancement? TAKAYNABob Brown says "The Health of the Biosphere is in trouble". As the Amazon is now emitting more carbon than it sequesters we must not be bystanders.Protecting the half million hectares of Temperate forest as World Heritage would sequester carbon and slow the climate catastrophe. KIRIBATIFormer PM of Kiribati calls for a global moratorium on  new coal mines. He says politics is about local issues. Politicising climate change which is a global problem has been the greatest drag on progress. He says to us your leadershipm is not representing yoiu. Take responsibility .You cannot keep your emissions to yourself they are affecting us."People think they are a few rows back from the frontline, but once you're at the front it's too late" "Where will future generations go?"
