Climate Tasmania

In tackling climate change we need to get our priorities right. Water and food supply must be given top priority in government policy-making.

Ross Garnaut says we have a window of opportunity to meet the climate challenge, but it is a small, short-lived one and we need to act quickly. The difficulties are “diabolical”, he says.

The task of reducing carbon emissions is a very tough one, for politicians and the rest of us alike, but it is not an impossible one. We need to put our fears aside and take the plunge into a new way of seeing and doing things.
