Australian PM given wake-up: book explains Ocean Acidification threat
July 27, 2010 by Ocean Ark Alliance
Uni of Queensland Vice-Chancellor Paul Greenfield hands PM Julia Gillard a wake-up call: her fresh-off-the-press copy of Coral Reefs and Climate Change. This new book, as explained on their press release demystifies the science surrounding coral reefs and climate change…aimed at anyone wishing to explore the natural wonder and beauty of coral reefs.
Gillard was at Brisbane’s Customs House on July 23 to deliver her stance on climate change, a speech infamous for its vocal demonstrators and the security-tackled environmental activist, Bradley Smith.
As we wade into the depths of the election campaign the current Labor Government has offered us very little in decisive leadership on the environmental front. Its two major contributions, the Citizen’s Assembly – delivered at this very appearance – and the so-called ”cash for clunkers” proposal (which will divert funds from the current solar energy program) together side-line and trivialise assertive action.
