Antinuclear

CLIMATE CHANGE SPECIAL – Abbott has no mandate to destroy climate and renewable energy action

Yesterday Australians of all ages gathered in their thousands to support government and public action for carbon pricing and renewable energy development. They want  full funding the business-friendly Australian Renewable Energy Agency, (ARENA) and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC)    They want the Abbott government to act in concern for our children and grandchildren, not just in concern for the multinational corporations that pay for the Liberal – National Coalition’s campaigns.

In Melbourne there was an anti nuclear presence at the climate rally, and an obvious interest from people attending the rally. We must not forget that:

• Even a “limited” nuclear war would bring virtually instant climate change across the planet.
• With climate change, nuclear facilities become ever more dangerous – vulnerable to sea level rise, storm surges, floods, extreme heat, water shortages, earthquakes.
• The lying nuclear lobby has only recently discovered their latest spin – having previouslyignored or denied climate change, they now pose virtuously as the saviour –  “nuclear power is the solution to climate change”. (this is complete rubbish  – even if nuclear power could be effective against climate change, it would require thousands of nuclear reactors to be set up – taking decades to achieve. There just isn’t time.)
