"Australia's Energy & Climate Change Dilemma - the
case for emergency action" 
Hosted by Shane Rattenbury, MLA, ACT
Greens Member for Molonglo

196 London Circuit,
Canberra  

   
5.30 - 6.30pm 

Thursday 23 May 2013

Australia is currently living in
a 'Fool's Paradise', ignoring the most critical issues which will impact
upon this country in both the short and long term. 
Weighty reports
are being published on the 'official' future of Australia. Scenarios
abound, setting out the implications of differing assumptions for the
future of our children and grandchildren. All of which would be laudable
were it not for the fact that the critical scenario, of 
accelerating
anthropogenic climate change and resource scarcity 
particularly peak
oil, is deliberately ignored - apparently too scary for 'political
realism' to contemplate. 
Whether business or politics like it or
not, climate change and peak oil are going to be the key drivers of policy
from now on. However, matters have been allowed to drift for so long that
both climate change and peak oil can only now be solved by emergency
action. 
Australia has enormous ingenuity, low-carbon resources and
opportunities, but only if we are honest about the real challenge and
initiate our own emergency response.
