Emergency Action for Negative Emissions

- Heidi Lee – CEO, Beyond Zero Emissions
- Justin Borevitz – Professor of Plant Energy Biology, ANU
Moderated by Natasha Mitchell – ABC Broadcaster & Journalist

What I am hearing from this video is that the prioritising of the economy is still important, construction electric vehicles will give more employment. No mention that the production of these electric vehicles & the wind turbines totally relies on coal power electricity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just more smoke & mirrors, more time being wasted whilst we are running out of time.
I would prefer to see/hear of positive actions to stop the burning of fossil fuels completely, because if we do not stop the burning of fossil fuels completely, then today’s children are likely to die from climate change!!! That is a science prediction, as is the fact that society/civilisation could collapse within the next few decades, that is within the next 30 years!!!
Can you tell me what the other members of Sustainable Living Armidale Inc. are doing to reduce their carbon footprint, because I have to date not read anything about this.
Sincerely,
Keith
