ACTPO President on population, published in News LimitedSat, 2012-09-29 17:46 — adminWe seem to be hurtling down the path towards an out-sized AustraliaIn June 2010, Prime Minister Julia Gillard famously said: Australia should not hurtle down the track towards a big population. She was distancing herself from her predecessor Kevin Rudd, who had famously said on ABC TV's 7.30 Report that he believed in a “Big Australia”, of 36 million by 2050. Richard Heinberg in the mediaTue, 2012-09-25 20:39 — adminWhile in Australia Richard Heinberg has featured in the media recently: ABC Classic FM with Margaret Throsby Letter from ACTPO President published in Guardian WeeklyTue, 2012-09-25 20:28 — adminNo going back for Arctic When Arctic sea-ice levels finally hit the anticipated record low this week, I felt a mixture of fear and panic (Arctic sea-ice levels on the verge of record low, GW, 31 August). Trend lines on graphs of sea-ice extent show the Arctic could be ice-free as early as September 2015 and almost certainly by 2020. With more exposed ocean absorbing more radiation and less ice to reflect it, a positive feedback mechanism has been set in train.
