Climate Institute Lunch 28th Nov
Orange City Council provided a lunch hosted by The Climate Institute. The Climate Institute has been carrying out publicity campaigns in regional areas to persuade Australians of the dangers of climate change and the need for urgent action. The Climate Institute aims to raise public awareness and debate about the dangers to Australia of global warming and motivate communities to take positive action.
There was a gentleman who spoke about how he has changed his farming practices to adapt to the impacts of human-induced climate change; policy, institutional and fiscal challenges to being a part of the solution.
A representative from The Climate Institute spoke about how the agricultural community can be a profitable part of Australia's solution in climate change. To finish a Dr gave an overview of the climate science for the region and a sneak peak at the latest unpublished CSIRO climate impacts modelling for Australia. I recommend a visit to their web-site www.climateinstitute.org.au to learn more.
There was one clear message that was coming out from yesterday and today's climate change forums. Along with the same message Al Gore gave out in his documentary called "An Inconvenient Truth" and that is that every one of us can make significant changes to help rectify the problems that have been increasing.
In the Frequently asked Questions section on my web-site you will see reference made to "ten things to do" and an additional web-site; these were collected of a brochure after watching Al Gore's documentary. "Let's get active and make these changes it's our children's future!";
