Labor and the Greens have to join forces – for the climate's sake

I have a question each for Greens and ALP members.

Greens candidate for Higgins Jason Ball poses with
 Labor’s candidate Fiona McLeod on election day.

First, the Greens: back in 1992, when the Australian Greens was formed, is this what you wanted to achieve: emissions excluding land use are roughly 6% above 2005 levels and rising, our Paris target is a joke even before you consider it is based on dodgy accounting, the first mammal to become extinct due to climate change occurred in Australia, and the likelihood of Australia achieving zero net emissions by 2050 is virtually nil?

Would that in any way have been considered a success back in 1992?

Sure, you have some Senate seats. Lovely. But that’s not really how we measure success when the planet is warming, is it?
