In response to Coalition politicians who can't accept the threat of climate change should resig

Albo and co also need to take note on climate

The Coalition are, by far, the worst offender on climate inaction, but the Labor Government need to take serious note. They are not totally innocent on climate.

It’s time to accelerate Labor’s renewable transition.

Ongoing subsidies for fossil fuels are Twentieth-Century politics. The planet’s physics says It’s time for climate action well before 2035.

The ongoing legislative review of the EPBC Act needs to get serious on climate, to include “climate triggers” and old growth forestry logging moratoriums. Both appear to be ruled out in the current EPBC legislative review.

Moreover, It’s time for the national tax system to send strong signals to individuals and corporations to act in accord with reducing emissions.

Labor needs to ask itself a basic question – is its climate policy position closer to the LNP or The Greens? – with respect to the EPBC Act reform, especially following the LNP’s net zero backflip and apparent overt support for fossil fuels.

Australia needs to get serious about planning to leave our export dependence on coal and other fossil fuels before these fuels leave Australia!

The recent announcement by South Korea to totally exit coal power generation by 2040 should be a national wakeup call.
