What is the greatest environmental problem facing Australia at the moment?

Growing up in the Mallee I would say it is the rising salt level and the lack of trees.

The biggest problem is probably global warming. Global warming disrupts and alters the natural currents in our oceans. Cold water is more dense than warm water and rises. So if we mess up the currents, the living things within the water is disrupted.

Hello Friend! \n To protect our world, environmental education is necessary.

I live in the Southwest and it has been an issue here for as long as I can remember. The problem has become so enormous that the nation is waking to the problem. We wonder whats taken you so long?

The governments with the money - US, Great Britain, and China - seem not to care that much. The US has been taken over by multinationals whose bottom line is money. Protecting the environment seems not to be profitable. The mulitnationals have bought the government and thus have gutted all the protection earlier governments have put in place. Yes, the planet has significant problems. \n\nGlobal warming is real. Read Kim Stanley Robinson's books _40 Signs of Rain_ and _50 Degrees Below_ (another one should be out to finish the trilogy soon). We have to understand that we must work as a global people. \n\nI hope that we can do that soon.

The most noticable would be CAR FUMES! Look there are as many cars as pets in the USA, I swear some of them just let too much pollution! You don't need a detail answer, all you need is imagination, just look at all the cars, factories, machines, trucks and every single one of those! They affect the climate dramatically, without even mentioning the military and nuclear weapons being produced there! \n\nUSA is in deep growing danger!!!

The Quagmire in Iraq\nThe Addiction to Oil resulting in disproportionate contribution to global warming\nThe continued piling-on of taxes and fees on small businesses while corporations get huge breaks\nAn aging population which will require some massive changes in how we deal with taking care of our parents and ourselves

Environmental ones I guess. It's pretty dirty over there.

There isn't going to be a lack of water worldwide....just in poor countries.  Richer countries will be purifying ocean water to drink.  \n\nAnd about Austrailia....I think the problem is getting water to people, not having enough of it.

It is up to the people of Australia.

I'd say one of the most pressing issues would include the US occupation of Iraq.  I'm sure you can find lots of historical data and speculations about the future conclusion.

Reduce pollutions is the answer, but a certain political party, and their lobbyist will fight you all the way. So I say there is no answer.

Effects of deforestation.\n\nthis can be a local problem with global consequences.\n\ncan be biology and chemsitry (maybe physics as well, heat flows etc.)

Have you tested the levels of pollutants that bus or car is putting out?  How about the water you drink?  Or the mountains of waste produced by the office you work at?  How far away do you live from a chemical factory? Or a nuke plant?  Where is all the garbage going that you and your family produce?  How about the food colorings and additives?\n\nAnd you're worried about some cigarette smoke?\n\n\nPULLLLLEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSEE!!\n\nPeace.

I just got a email from a friend regarding Australia. They are having some immigrant Muslim problems. The radicals are getting out of hand. The government and citizen are dealing with it. One signs said" if you don't like our language, culture and laws get the hell out". \nA few years back they had a real Chinese illegal problem ships dumping of them. They dealt with it rather fast.They cut out chain immigration better now as family unification.\n\nThat is as much as I know on this new immigration anti terrorist issue, but I think that is about as much information that one will get. Most will probably be opinion depending on their side. I have no agenda.
