Beneath the Wisteria supporter questions 'commitments'


Professor Dave Griggs.
Current commitments to cut greenhouse gases are inadequate according to Beneath the Wisteria supporter, Dave Griggs.

Professor Griggs, the director of Monash University’s Sustainability Institute, said today (September 27) in the Melbourne Age that current commitments to limit greenhouse gases would not stabilize global emissions at relatively safe levels.

Australia, it was reported, has committed to an unconditional emissions cut of 5 per cent below 2000 levels by 2020, and would adopt a target of 15 or 25 per cent depending on the level of global action.

Prof Griggs has not joined us Beneath the Wisteria, but has long been among the recipients of posts to our blog.
