Skirmishes over funding for renewable energy research are just the latest battle in a saga that stretches back to the early 1980s – years before the public became widely aware of the climate threat.

One Nation Senator-elect Malcolm Roberts lauds Galileo as a hero who turned scientific consensus on its head. But the ‘Galileo gambit’ is just one weapon in the climate conspiracists’ arsenal.
Science Minister Greg Hunt’s call for CSIRO to do a U-turn on climate research is a welcome move after months of criticism, at home and abroad, of the agency’s previous direction.
The world’s use of finite resources continues to rise as global development continues. Can we help poorer nations raise their standard of living without exhausting all of our raw materials?
It might not sound like the best music in the world, but Australia was the first by a matter of months at playing a tune on a computer.
You can’t just buy a radio telescope receiver off the shelf. So CSIRO has been hard at work building receivers for the world’s largest telescopes using the very latest technology.
How does Australia fare in science and research funding? Where have recent cuts been made? This infographic shows the state of science funding in Australia.
What gaps have the CSIRO cuts left in climate research?
The Coalition has asked CSIRO to develop a “roadmap” towards commercialised clean energy. It’s a good idea as long as the plan is clear, and there’s enough money behind it.
A leading NASA scientist has asked CSIRO to stay in its global network that monitors atmospheric dust and pollution. The data are vital to understand the effects on weather and climate.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide measurements at Tasmania’s Cape Grim and Antarctica’s Casy Station have now officially passed 400 parts per million and are likely to stay above that for decades to come.
The CSIRO will create a new climate research centre in Hobart with 40 climate scientists.
A fast rail link between Sydney and Melbourne was first proposed in 1984. So why haven’t we done it yet?
A proposal for the Bureau of Meteorology to take on CSIRO climate scientists is a good idea - but CSIRO needs to make sure nothing is lost.
Australia still rests too heavily on its luck, and not enough on its brains.
CSIRO was instrumental in creating a unified plan for all of Australia’s climate research. The latest round of cuts would see that collaboration fall apart.
Cuts to CSIRO climate jobs will see a reduction in effort on monitoring and measuring climate change, and an increase in efforts to do something about it. That’s the most politically-sensible option.
New data analysis shows bushfires have increased by 40% in the past five years.
Chief scientist Alan Finkel comments on cuts to climate jobs at CSIRO.
CSIRO’s climate scientists haven’t “finished” just because climate change is real. Without their expertise, we could waste billions on drought or flood planning that’s not backed by the latest science.
