Australia must be bold on climate
Geoff Davies’ basic point is that the big fossil fuel corporations in Australia “will do anything to protect and increase shareholder return” including murder. His solutions are most interesting, but I’m adding some practical measures.
At the current UN COP29 on climate, our Australian team must be bold and strong for ending both our fossil fuel subsidies and exports (via punishing levies and incentives for renewables); plus increasing rich countries’ funding for clean energy in poor countries.
Back home, during the next few pre-election months, the federal government must then also develop a bold, strong mandate by adding policies including reducing costs of living, and our immigration level.
As Davies concludes, Australia must do our absolute best to save lives, planet Earth and the liveable future.
