Beneath the Wisteria supporter, Graham Parton, also
disillusioned by the recent publication by Melbourne’s Age of a comment piece from
John McLean, has penned at Letter to the Editor.
Here is Graham’s letter:
Less than a week after the overwhelming rejection of
the climate deniers view put forward by Maurice Newman you publish another one,
this time from John McLean of the widely discredited “International Climate
Science Coalition”. Unfortunately this just perpetuates the notion that there
is some kind of “debate” about whether or not the climate is changing when in
fact we’ve known for years that it is and that it’s humans who are causing it.
You’d think after the hottest year since records began and all the other
hottest ever records being broken we’d be ready to move on to what we are going
to do about stopping it rather than still hearing from people who don’t even
think it’s happening.
Beneath the Wisteria
supporters are encouraged to write letters to local and national newspapers,
along with taking the message about the need to mitigate our carbon dioxide
emissions to their local members of parliament, State or Federal.
Beyond, the message also needs to be heard by Local
Government and so your councillors also need to hear about the unfolding
difficulties that will arise from climate change.
