| Professor Tim Flannery - he headed the Climate Commission and has offered his services pro bono to help launch the new Climate Council. |
Australians obviously
want an independent body to consider the implications and consequences of
climate change.
The Tony Abbott lead government immediately shut down
Australia’s Climate Commission and the sacked commissioners have reformed
themselves, pro bono, as the Climate Council.
The public has rushed to support the new council and in less
than a week nearly a million dollars has been contributed to a fund to allow
the former commissioners to continue their work.
Today’s Melbourne Age (Tuesday, October 1) tells
in a story by Ben Schneiders headed: “$900,000 raised for new green body”, that a
social media campaign to fund the new body has succeeded beyond expectation.
