One of the most important documents to be written for the global climate campaign has been released on the web.
The document makes the case that the science is being misread and miscommunicated and that the situation is far worse than most climate commentators choose to explain, it then looks at appropriate goals and solutions and argues for rapid reduction in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations now.
Written by David Sprat and Philip Sutton the document is a must read for any serious climate campaigner.
Down load the pdf from http://climatecodered.net/
Some of you have read the first two parts as Part 1 as "The big melt" and Part 2 as "Target practice".
The authors have asked that people do not email the PDF directly but instead direct others to the website.
About YCAN!
Yarra Climate Action Now is an independent community group based in inner-city Melbourne made up of individuals who are concerned about the climate crisis. We are pushing for the urgent worldwide action needed to avoid runaway climate change and the associated impacts. We are interested in the possibility of making a difference in the community through education, lobbying, workshops and other activities. We are part of the Climate Emergency Network and a national network of grassroots climate action groups. This blog will be a place for us to talk about climate change issues, exchange ideas, link to information and hopefully open a world of possibilities.
