Albanese government must present climate truth
David Spratt and Ian Dunlop warn us that the Albanese government is presenting the brighter side of our transition to renewables. They should and must present both the positive aspect plus the worsening
deadly reality of climate change.
They must reveal the security-related climate risks still not revealed to our public. They also must stop approving various new fossil fuel projects, and relying on minimal carbon capture and storage of emissions. In the next few months they must do better with climate education and genuine decarbonising, or risk losing the federal election.
Fortunately, several positive meetings will help with finding the path forward: First, Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s National Webinar on our nature laws on 7 August. Second, the UN Summit of the Future in September. And third, the COP late in the year.
