Australia Finally Standing up in the Fight to Save our Planet

Last Sunday in Australia the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard unveiled the governments plan to introduce a cardon tax to help in the fight against growing carbon emmissions.

I appluade their decision to finally stand up and make a stand, even in the face of huge voter backlash to the scheme.

I think Australia needs to be praised as this is no easy sell and yet the change it can bring, all but over time will help make a difference in our lives and those of our kids to follow.

Welldone Australia!

Climate Reality is here and Al Gore takes a stand!

Normal 0 false false false EN-AU X-NONE X-NONE

I got this great email from the climate reality project and i have posted it below as I think we all need to understand what is going on in our world and what we can do to help out.

I suggest we all read it and checkout the links to this amazing resource!

 

Every day, millions of dollars are spent trying to convince you that climate change isn’t real. Or that humans don’t cause it. Or that the biggest polluters are trying to solve the problem.

But climate change is a reality. And big polluters — drawing from the playbook used by the big tobacco companies years ago — are trying to fool citizens and consumers around the globe by denying proven science. So how can we get the world to embrace reality? How can we share the truth about the climate crisis?

Meet The Climate Reality Project. On September 14, in a 24-hour event spanning the globe, we’re introducing a brand-new organization with one clear goal: to bring the facts about the climate crisis into the mainstream by engaging everyone — especially leaders like you — in a conversation about how to solve it.

But enough talk for now. Former Vice President Al Gore helped create this video to explain where we are going. Watch it:

Leading up to September 14, we will need our most ardent supporters with us to help promote the event and start the conversation. That means we need you.

We’re building this new project on the foundation of the remarkable work we’ve done together as the Alliance for Climate Protection. We are joining together with The Climate Project — a group of volunteer climate Presenters trained by Al Gore. So when you hear from us moving forward, it will be as The Climate Reality Project.

Thank you for your continued support.
