The Rudd Government now officially has no practical policy to tackle the climate emergency (just like the Howard Government).
This video is an excerpt from a recent ABC report. It speaks for itself.
GetUp is asking people to vote on the following no confidence motion:
"We the people have no confidence in Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's leadership on climate change. He has failed to deliver action to address the greatest moral challenge of our generation."

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.
