Climate Action Now

The polluter lobby must not set the terms of the debate around climate solutions. We know this issue is too important and the costs of inaction will affect every aspect of our economy and our lives. Our farmers are crippled by drought. Bush fires are breaking out earlier every year. We're facing record-breaking heat waves, increasing water scarcity and intensifying cyclones and storms. Each of us with hopes for our future, or with children and grandchildren who will be left with our mess, must act now.

Get on the Climate Action Map and join our movement for real action on climate change.

	The Latest on this Campaign Climate Action Now Thursday, 4 February 2010 Tony Abbott's climate change policy is ambiguous and ineffective. Even worse than matching the Government's unacceptably low 5% by 2020 emissions cut, he wants to force us to pay for it--while the big polluters go on with business-as-usual. To spark Australia's clean energy revolution, we need to make polluters pay, not pretend the problem is "absolute crap", as Tony says.
