[Greenman.co.za] Neverness: Diamond paints a pretty gloomy picture of environmental degradation in Australia, fuelled by short-sighted government (until the 1980's they actually incentivised clearing of native vegetation, and both major parties can still hardly be called progressive), inappropriate cultural values (a British-like demand for sheep and cows as meat, both unsuited and relatively destructive animals, rather than something more abundant and suited to the climate, such as kangaroo). There's also the poverty of the soils, incompetent management of their fisheries and fresh water supplies, the rapid disappearance of their forests (see the UN-sourced data on Mongabay to see just how bad), geographical location, the negative effect of climate change on their main productive farming area, all of which add up to a first world country more at risk than most.
