I don't really think it is the helmets that are deterring people from riding bikes. Firstly, any sane person would use a helmet....obvious reasons why. Secondly, there are already loads and loads of people of all ages and walks of life, who already…
I share your confusion and dismay, Phil. You are doing the best that you can as are all the other climate-friendly delegates over there. Given that the will of the people has been overwhelmingly demonstrated to our governmental representatives, I co…
great article.
We of the rich countries have taken out a mortgage on the earth. We have 'borrowed' resources (this is a kinder word for an action whereby one acquires materials at a lower cost than they are worth at the same time as stiffing the actual owners of t…
I live in the sutherland shire in sydney and I have almost been run over twice on the way to work. Too many near misses. I don't understand how car drivers think that going around you with a margin of 10cm is OK. Sooo...although i ride all the time…
Bikes are not only a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, they're also the coolest and funnest mode of transport around.
This groups for anyone who loves their bike just a little to much for their own good!
I have sent my 350 photos to various MPs and also to the local paper which is read by a vast number of people. However, I have yet to get a response from the local paper. I understand Christine's concern about discussions on a website - it's like pr…
Join this group to become an UN climate tracker (previously called UN e-monitors), and help ensure the Australian Government plays a constructive role in the UN negotiations that will stop catastrophic climate change.
The government continues to whip an old horse.The NTEU is not alone in calling upon the government to abandon the ETS. To the Australian public who all have eyes and a bit of common sense it is obvious that one does not reduce total CO2 emissions by…
Four years!???? With the current level of deforestation in developing nations that will be like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted. Speed it up I say!
Strap on your sandals. Slip on your sneaks. Join thousands around the world on Saturday 12th December in the Walk Against Warming.
Mid-way through the Copenhagen climate talks, urge world leaders to commit to a fair and complete climate treaty.
Like all readers of The Leader, I always read the letters. They express valid concerns and comments by the people in my community. However, I have yet to see any concerning climate change and our elected representatives’ plans to combat it. Climate…

At the end of the tunnel, that is. My husband and I went to see " The Age of Stupid" last night. His comment at the end was that it was a very sad movie because after watching it, he does not think that we, the human race, are going to make it. Prin…
Hear, hear!!!! I share your frustration at the near-sightedness of not only our leaders, but of the population in general. In this sense, we demonstrate that we are animals after all. Unfortunately, unless something has an almost immediate impact, m…

Letter to local paper -calling on the masses
Like all readers of The Leader, I always read the letters. They express valid concerns and comments by the people in my community. However, I have yet to see any concerning climate change and our elected representatives’ plans to combat it. Climate change is no myth. Of this the scientific community, world governments and general population are in agreement - apart from a few kooks and ostriches. Indeed, some of our neighbours in the Pacific are already living its reality as they are forced to r… Continue

In Need of the Light
At the end of the tunnel, that is. My husband and I went to see " The Age of Stupid" last night. His comment at the end was that it was a very sad movie because after watching it, he does not think that we, the human race, are going to make it. Principally because we humans are unable to see beyond the short term. And climate change is a generational problem. Its full effects will not be felt by any of those making the decisions now, which makes it easy for them to make light of it. In order to… Continue

Get Serious
Australians are not convinced that climate change is serious because the government does not act like it is serious. When faced with the 'threat of terrorism' the changes in legislation were immediate and unapologetic. Security was tightened and the public got used to, for eg., checking in 3 hours before a flight instead of 2 hours. Because of the immediate, drastic and urgent tone used in the changes to public life, the public took it seriously. With climate change, however, their is not enough… Continue
