Discussed in the Dr Monique Ryan town hall meeting with two climate change experts. So good to hear the truth for once.

That’s powerful watching. Existential threat. Urgent and dramatic action are needed.

Once more we see and hear about the damage done by the ten wasted years of Abbott Turnbull Morrison Dutton government.

We cannot afford any more wasted years with Herr Dutton.

#LNPNeverAgain Dump Dutton.

You think it would be common sense not to go down that path again yet if ALL the polls are to be believed we will get more of the same. Saw some QLD nongs complain about power prices, say renewables would destroy the look of the countryside. Have they seen a nuclear reactor? Honestly, I despair!

Have the complainers who criticise renewables seen the vast coal mines and methane gas wells poisoning air, land and water? 5 million people die every year from fossil fuel pollution.

They don’t know any of that. They live in a vacuum.

It would be good if they chose to “live” in a literal vacuum.
