Who do you trust on climate change? - Opera House

The Greens NSW Campaign Coordinator, Lesa de Leau, today released the latest Greens campaign advertising highlighting the threat of sea level rises caused by climate change.

The ads will be rolled out across Sydney's street furniture including telephone boxes and are complimented by a You Tube ad and online advertisements on major news websites.

The dramatic street ads show the Sydney Opera House and Luna Park engulfed by rising sea levels and urge people not to ignore the threat of climate change. The online version has the sound of an orchestra warming up as the drowned opera house comes into view.

Release of these ads comes as climate change has moved back to the centre of the election campaign. Despite a number of promises by the major parties neither Labor nor the Liberals are willing to put climate change action at the top of their list.

Renowned NASA scientist James Hansen says there is a very real threat and that we are facing "a rise in sea level measured in metres within a century." Recent data on the extent of melting of summer ice in the Arctic has reinforced the fear that the Greenland ice sheets could disintegrate rapidly.

The threat of sea level rise, along with all the other problems of climate change mean we need urgent action to reduce emissions.

Nuclear Power is the second safest energy source in the world. Why are the Greens supporting Wind Power, such a vile energy source slaughtering birds and hurting our poor farmers health, when Nuclear Power is so much safer and better?

While you lot moan about TAX not one of you mentions the price of oil.

At the moment oil prices are going through the roof. Do you conveniently forget that fact just so you dont have to question the integrity of your great RIGHT WING god?

Last time I looked people who put 2fingers up at Copenhagen still rule this planet - NOT AL GORE.

These r the very same people who refuse to intervene on oil prices.

OPEC & government are holding you to ransom.

Who do I trust on whether car exhausts and cigarettes are healthy?

People who dont stand to gain from it.

...furthermore, if there is a great green conspiracy to bring in a NEW WORLD ORDER what happened to the old world order run by the likes of Rex Tillerson.

You know, the one that lobbys the same old governments that turned a blind eye to the Rainbow Warrior.

Did I miss something? Has there been a power shift overnight?

I don't think so.

Oil still rules the senate. The senate still rules the world.

Al Gore a fraud?

Ask Tillerson's publicity machine.

Michaels, Balling, Wojick, Baliunas, Wittwer, Daley, Idso, Singer, Lindsen, Christy and now Monckton have all had their part to play.

The Competitive Enterprise Inst - on Exxon's payroll.

The Heartland Inst (Who employs Monckton ) - on Exxon payroll.

And all the names above have had some connection with Exxon.

C'mon Steve

If you & I can draw conclusions about the rise and fall of temp charts then I'm sure we can draw some pretty good conclusions about the names above.

Opinion matters not one jot in this debate.

But what matters is how the age old finger pointing at Big Oil has suddenly turned to point at the Green movement.

As a native of a land who saw (1985) first hand the deviousness of world government when it turned a blind eye to the French & the sinking of Rainbow Warrior I'm really surprised by your stance.

The powers-that-be have always had a vested interest in protecting itself.

And even now they play their psychological games.

@TheElasticJesus You can discount me all you want. But the phenomenal drop in global beleif in climate catastrophism is one "decline" you can't "hide".

[TheElasticJesus]

@SteveWrathall

Yeah right. And I discounted YOU in one of my vids.

@Wildkkat1

Yet another who listens to that non-entity Monkey nut Monckton. He works for Heartland. Heartland works for Exxon.

Monckton has absolutely no qualifications.

If you want your car fixing ask a mechanic not a spark plug salesman.
