Labor has to shame the Coalition into action on climate change

This week was a pretty big one for climate change, the drought and the ALP, and they were all somewhat intertwined.

‘Anthony Albanese has rightly set off on this path –
his speech in Perth made climate change a key issue.
But it will need more than just a few speeches.’

On Wednesday an article published in the journal BioScience, co-signed by 11,000 scientists, warned “clearly and unequivocally that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency”.

The authors noted that, despite 40 years of solid scientific research pointing to the dangers of climate change, “greenhouse gas emissions are still rapidly rising, with increasingly damaging effects on the Earth’s climate”, and that “an immense increase of scale in endeavours to conserve our biosphere is needed to avoid untold suffering due to the climate crisis.”
