As Australia super-glued itself to Amerika and shuns our region, we could have been benefitting from thinking outside the box like Singapore if we had more respect for Asia
We could have building our own transition to an uncertain future

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.
