The target's clear and there is no doubt, but in the minds of most climate change doesn't rate

Just a few of those who gathered on
the streets in response to
the possible execution of Andrew
Chan and Myuran  Sukumaran.

Response to the potential execution of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in Indonesia has rippled through Australian society and impacted thousands.
 

The potential death of just two men at the hands of the State is terrible and to be decried, but insignificant compared to societal disarray that awaits as climate change worsens.
 

Will we, I wonder, march on the streets, see intervention from living former Prime Ministers and along with that, nation-wide calls for leniency and change as our disrupted climate worsens and the wellbeing of all plummets?
 

Dynamics explained by George Marshall in Shepparton on Monday are there for all to see.
 

The climate change communication expert explained that we react best to something that is immediate, to which there is a clear target and which there is no doubt.
 

Climate change, George pointed out, has the odds stacked against it as in the minds of most, it is remote, not easily identifiable as there is no clear enemy and it is wracked with doubt.
 

Meanwhile talking about George Marshall, he was on a panel on Friday night at the Sustainable Living Festival’s “Great Debate” – ‘To collapse of not to collapse’.
