Walk Against Warming 2008

Since the global financial crisis, almost all mention of climate change has disappeared from the media.

Green Paper

The cut-off date for submissions on the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Green Paper is 10th September.

Soon after the Citizens Climate Campaign began, we came across a book called Doing Democracy by Bill Moyer.

We found this information very comforting, particularly in the early days when there was so little public awareness of global warming, and no political acceptance.
