Victoria about to review Climate Change Act

V

ictoria is about to review its State’s Climate Change Act of 2010.

Nicholas Stern - warnings for humanity.

Submissions are presently being called for from the public (“Climate Change Review Submissions Now Open”) and common sense – if there is such a thing – suggests the Act should massively strengthened, rather than weakened in any way.

Reading the latest work of Nicholas Stern (famous for writing the 2006 “Stern Review” commissioned by the British Government to consider the economics of climate change), “Why Are We Waiting?: The Logic, Urgency, and Promise of Tackling Climate Change”, humanity has no other option but to tighten climate acts and strengthen environmental protections.

Meanwhile, ClimateProgress reports that in the U.S. republicans are determined to “gut” the country’s environmental protections.
