Support for fellow Wisteria member

Beneath the Wisteria supporter, Robyn Lipshut, has leapt to the support of fellow member Bill Brown in that she has written to the Shepparton News articulating the failings in a letter by Shepparton’s Keppel Turnour critical of Bill’s views.

Robyn, of Tatura, wrote:

“Thanks to Keppel Turnour “Great times ahead” (letter to The Shepparton News, 2/2/13 for reassuring us that all is well with the world and that some un discovered technological advancement, at some future time, will save us from global warming, overuse of resources, overpopulation, environmental degradation, decreasing bio diversity, poor distribution and use of food etc etc.

It seems that it is easy to hope that we can leave it to chance but maybe we all need to become more informed of how the world has to act, individual countries have to act, communities have to act and individuals have to act. It is not a competition to see who starts first and does more or less. It is lovely to look at the world through rose colored glasses but we have to be circumspect enough to take the predictions and data seriously. The issue is not just climate change as such, but of global warming and the impacts of that. It is all interconnected with human occupation and manipulation of the environment over the last couple of centuries and an Industrial age that has changed the planet forever.”
