An open letter
initiated by Dr Andrew Glikson and signed by 64 environmental and climate
scientists laments the Federal Government’s recent Intergenerational Report.
Those who signed the letter say the report underestimates
the serious threat of global warming to future generations.
“Our concern is based on the peer-reviewed scientific
literature, as summarised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and
on observations by the world’s national science academies and geophysical
research societies of leading nations, including Australia,” a story in Reneweconomy says.
The story, headed: “The Intergenerational Report underestimates climate threat: an open letter to the government” calls on the
Australian government, and the governments of all nations, to reconsider the
consequences of ongoing emission of greenhouse gases and, as a matter of
urgency, promote much more rapid transition to non-polluting energy-generating
methods.
