Join the UN climate trackers groupWhat will UN climate trackers do?
As a UN climate tracker you will read the regular news updates on this blog during each round of climate negotiations. These updates will come from our climate change experts at the negotiations and will provide you with the latest inside information on the inner workings of the negotiations. Climate trackers will commit to take at least 2 urgent email actions during each UN meeting. By doing so you will demonstrate that Australians are concerned about climate change and that people are monitoring our Governments behaviour at these meetings.UN Climate Trackers's Blog

Thank You! Your Support Has Been Tremendous
You'll hear the outcome of Copenhagen spun in a thousand different ways, but here's our take: with only aspirational goals, the final “Copenhagen Accord” is largely an empty political statement that is unlikely to deliver any real justice to the developing world including our poorest neighbours in the Asia-Pacific. For this reason world leaders must urgently get back to the negotiating table in 2010.
History will not judge Copenhagen kindly but it is impossible to… Continue

Copenhegn: why your voice matters, more than ever before (ideas of actions you can take)
For the past 11 days the eyes of the world, mine included, have been on Copenhagen. Each morning as the sun slides up over my beach side suburb on Australia's east coast I’ve been scouring my inbox, the newspaper, tuning into radio (and of course reading the Adopt A Negotiator blogs) to get the latest on the overnight developments in Co… Continue

Sam Castro said… - Please ask Louise why the interest of big business and finite fossil fuel industries are put before the health and survival of this planet and all that live on it? If Copenhagen does not result in a global agreement will the Australian Government commit to real action and investment in sustainable technology and industry? If not will Louise and the Australian representatives please come and explain to my three children why the planet and their future means so little to our government and the leaders of the world?

Dr Chris James said… - What I would like to know is why, when the governments - state and federal - are talking up climate change and the need to do something to reduce emissions, are they extending the La Trobe coal mine in Victoria and bypassing criticism on the basis of coal sequestration [clean coal] , which has its own energy and pollution problems. Coal is a dirty industry! End of story. And why are these governments underwriting the sinking of more gas and oil mines in some of the most beautiful areas of Australia. The companies involved have the worst environmental history on record, but the attitude is 'who cares'. Money speaks volumes. At risk are the Gippsland basin, the Otway basin and the West Australian coast. Shame on Australia for the deception.

Caroline Nute said… - Once again I am urging people to participate in the climate actions for 350.org on the 24th October. The "Sea of People on the Opera House Steps" in Sydney needs 5000 people to be effective. Look at www.350.org/Australia to see what exciting activities and special guests, bands, will be happening - WEAR BLUE, BE THERE AT 2:00!

Brad Homewood said… - Cara's latest twitter about the Victorian Bush fires is a very pertinent one when we are talking about Climate change, the CSIRO has been warning for years that Climate change would increase the intensity and regularity of bush fires, and Kevin Rudd made special mention of it in Bali when he talked about taking "Strong and robust action" against Climate change.
On the 12th of February just after the fires, the national secretary of the United Firefighters Union of Australia, Peter Marshall, wrote an article in the Age on behalf of more than 13,000 firefighters, pleading with the Rudd and Brumby governments to take strong action consistent with the relevant science, because it his unions members who have to go into situations that the rest of us naturally flee.
Peter Marshall said that government policies seem destined to ensure a repeat of recent tragic events, Peter Marshall is not using guess work when he says this, he is relying on research by the CSIRO, Climate Institute, and the Bushfire Council, this research found that a "low global warming scenario" will see catastrophic fire events happen in Victoria every five to seven years, if this by itself is not motivation enough to take strong and robust action then I don't know what is.
Heaven forbid we stay on our current course of weak and lame measures, measures that will inevitably take us into a medium to high global warming scenario, to frightening to even contemplate.
