Australia’s decision makers
shun the science that alerts us to climate change, but in Tunisia the
human-induced change to the world’s climate has been embedded in that country’s
constitution.
A story published on the website RTCC (Responding to Climate
Change) headed: “Tunisia embeds climate change in constitution” tells of a vote
by that country’s parliament to make it only the third in the world to have a
legal commitment to tackling climate change causes and impacts.
The contrast between what is happening here in Australia and
Tunisia is not only stark, but alarming.
