No Surrender on Climate Change

Greens Senator Rachel Siewert, Greens MLCs Sue Pennicuik, Colleen Hartland and Greg Barber and some of Victoria's newly-elected Greens Councillors protest over the federal government's weak 5% greenhouse target. The Greens are committed to taking the climate crisis seriously at Federal, State and Local levels of government.

The rally heard how Greens councillors are providing leadership in local communities and taking real action to reduce greenhouse emissions. Rachel Siewert announced that The Greens will seek a Senate inquiry into the inadequacy of the target in avoiding catastrophic climate change.

Australia was always prone to drought, however since animal agribusiness commenced, soil salinity has worsened, great swathes of forest

have been destroyed, waterways are polluted, the Murray Darling basin has all but dried up etc.

Methane (CH4) from ruminants has at least 20 times the heat-trapping effect of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). It takes a 1000 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of milk.

Why in the Green's latest action is there no mention that the meat and dairy industry contribute more to global warming than all automotive industries combined?
