The Post-Apocalyptic World of Climate Refugees
In the movement towards progress and modernity, the importance of ancestral knowledge was forgotten. I wanted to imagine where we were heading considering not only the apocalyptic circumstances stemming from this dispossession but also how our lives would become far more difficult over the next 100 years by putting a story to the scientific facts of global warming. Since I wrote this book, the world has been changing far more dramatically than I could have imagined at that time. We no longer have to try to imagine a changing climate, because we can see the major catastrophes of the climate emergency unfolding around us. Our vulnerable and fragile Aboriginal communities are already experiencing greater difficulty surviving on the land and seas of our traditional country.
