These events remind us as the cost-of-living crisis dominates discussions at the kitchen table and much of our political discourse, the climate crisis is still with us.
This week, the Australia Institute’s Climate of the Nation report found four in five Australians are concerned climate change will result in droughts and flooding, affecting crop production and food supply and leading to more bushfires.
Climate of the Nation makes it clear Australians want action against this inequality and accountability for the damage caused to our climate and the environment.
Despite years of climate tax scaremongering, 74 per cent of Australians support a “Polluter-pays” tax, with six in 10 people supporting a levy on fossil fuel exports to fund local government actions to mitigate climate change impacts.
We understand the climate crisis is not just an abstract environmental issue but a tangible, immediate economic one.
Whenever a post of mine has “climate change” of similar in the title, it gets one downvote.
Does that mean one denier?
Maybe they’re fighting climate change one downvote at a time
