Farmers call for action on global warming

A

ustralia’s farmers have banded together in asking the Australian Government to act in response to global warming.

The farmers had written an open letter to the Liberal Party declaring climate change as real and happening on their farms.

The letter says:

 "We as Aussie farmers call on the Liberal Party conference to reject the motion put by the regional and rural committee of the Liberal Party questioning the basis of climate science, and instead call for post-2020 targets to cut carbon pollution that are in line with scientists' recommendations of at least 40 per cent by 2025, and at least 60 per cent by 2030 over 2000 pollution levels."
