Malcolm ignores impending disaster of climate change

Letter in today’s Melbourne Age from Canterbury’s Carolyn Ingvarson.

I have just watched Malcolm Turnbull’s online ad about how his dad loved him, but I am blowed if I can work out its message. The written note said we should do the best for our children and grandchildren and vote for a secure future for them.

Everyone would agree that we want the best for our children and grandchildren. And loving them deeply goes without question. However, the ad does not address how we can provide them with a world that is safe from the impending disaster associated with climate change. This has been clearly forecast and it is this that will undermine the economic platforms being proposed. Loving your kids? What protection is that if you ignore climate change?
