Coal: Back to the stoneage - Melbourne World Environment Day 2011

On World Environment Day, 5th June 2011, tens of thouands of people rallied around Australia to say Yes to a safe climate and in support of a carbon price. An Estimated 10,000 people crowded onto the lawns of the State Library in Melbourne to listen to speakers and music in a family friendly rally with lots of placards, banners and beanies on heads.

 

Although news magnate Rupert Murdoch is on the record as saying climate change is real and action is needed to mitigate and adapt to global warming, many of his News corporation papers and journalists still promote climate denial or inaction at odds with the scientific consensus.
