Clean electric transport systems; better designs for houses saving on heating and cooling costs and keeping us more comfortable, along with electricity generation from renewable sources. What’s not to like about the actions required to combat climate change? But it won’t happen on its own.
Only by supporting those political parties that have shown the intellectual fortitude to respond to the challenge of climate change can you send the message to the conservatives that they need to get on board.
In wartime, in just the space of a few years, the warring parties assembled a massive military machine from virtually nothing.
With a unified approach we can transition to clean energy forms for transport, manufacturing and heating and cooling within the same timeframe to all our benefit.
Only by tearing down this shambles of a federal government will the community send the message to the conservatives that we have had enough of this torrid dithering and denial by right-wing extremists.
