Antinuclear

Australia’s twin menaces – climate change and the nuclear industry

At times I feel like completely changing this website – to one dedicated to action on climate change.  Australians, under the “leadership” of Tony Abbott, appear to be sleep-walking towards disaster.  It is no comfort that Abbott will be remembered as this nation’s most disastrous Prime Minister – hated for leading us, without  a qualm,  into the horror of extreme bushfires, flood, and sea level rise – and the repression of Pacific Islands’  climate change refugees

Global warming, climate change – this is an international emergency.  Sure – cutting our carbon emissions is not going to fix that.

BUT – action on climate change (and on refugees) shows Australia to be part of civilised world society.  Nations are going to need to help each other – and on climate change – Australia used to be  a leader.

Still – as climate change creeps up on us, (perhaps roars up on us)  we must keep in mind that a nuclear war or disaster could bring almost instant climate change upon us, as well as other horrors.  That threat is real.

The failing nuclear industry tries to con Australians that it has the solution to climate change,  We must resist their lies, lest we  invite upon ourselves another catastrophe on top of the climate change peril.

For these reasons – this website will stay “ANTINUCLEAR”.
