Climate change our biggest security threat.
(From Canberra Times)
The future is not what it used to be, indeed the future is not mandatory. ''The stone age did not come to an end because of a shortage of stones and the oil age will end long before the world runs out of oil.'' - Sheikh Zaki Yamani, Saudi Oil Minister (1962-1986).
Australians are increasingly concerned at the polarisation of approaches to action on climate change.
The issues that are at stake are too fundamentally important to be treated in this way.
Climate change is recognised by security experts, major international insurers and re-insurers, scientists, and financiers, as well as ecologists, as the biggest security threat that humans have ever faced and there is no precedent in history for us to draw from.
Our cherished way of life is at risk.
Our legacy to future generations is an exponential growth curve of cost and this must be changed - we can no longer bill our energy-intensive and waste-intensive way of life to our children and grandchildren.
