John Howard's and Kevin Rudd's policies on climate change both fall well short of what is required to take real action on climate change.
Howard has not committed to any targets, while Rudd says Labor will ratify the Kyoto Protocol and set emission reduction targets for 2050.
We don't need more reports, we need short term targets for 2010, 2015 and 2020. In particular, we need to set a firm target of 30% emissions reductions by 2020.
You have the opportunity to attend Australia's biggest day of community action on climate change.
Date: Sunday, November 11, 2007
Time: 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Location: State Library, Swanton Street, Melbourne
I encourage you to "walk against warming" to highlight the need for action on climate change. I will be there.
See http://www.walkagainstwarming.org for walk locations in your capital city.
This advertisement from Getup summarises the Howard Government's position well. Demand real action on climate change: I can do that!
