[hugh spencer]

In Sydney there is a Protest Against Weak Carbon Emissions Targets


 at 11am, tomorrow, Tuesday 16 Dec at the Commonwealth Government Offices,
70 Phillip Street, Sydney


 


Help send a message to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Climate Change
Minister Penny Wong that Australia needs to show leadership and commit to
meaningful targets.


This event will be part of a nationwide protest in all capital cities and
major centres against the Rudd government's inadequate response to the
greatest threat facing our planet.


 


The Federal Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme targets will be
announced early next week. They are widely expected to fall well short of
what is needed to tackle the climate crisis. This move will let big
polluters off the hook from their responsibility to drastically reduce
their carbon emissions and leave future generations exposed to the
catastrophic impact of climate change.
