Climate change: Lack of action enough to make a mother weep

The climate crisis is back in the news, well, at least in the letters section of The Melbourne Age.

Writing about Mothers Day, one writer said:

“My girl will be 35 in 2050 and by scientific projections that future looks grim: frequent extreme weather events, such as our recent firestorms; soaring temperatures; extended droughts; ecosystem collapse; mass extinction; migration wars; fresh water and food shortages, unbreathable air and, well, it's enough to make a mother weep.”

Another asked: “Why can't we move from laggard to leader on climate change?”

Another questioned the idea of using fossil fuels to create hydrogen saying: “Invest in new hydrogen energy projects including those powered by fossil fuels is dumbfounding.”
