Global Climate Change Action

When will our so called leaders give us clean energy supplies? It is not as if they have not been warned for years and years about pending climate catastrophes. It is not as if PROVEN clean energy supplies do not exist.

Had they not been sitting on their hands for this long and handing over OUR taxes to multi-national corporations, and continuing to feed the flames of our demise, perhaps the Burma tragedy would not have happened.
How many more natural disasters will humanity face before our taxes are used to support and provide the best for those who work hard to pay them? Who will be held responsible for this injustice? The taxpayers?

I had hoped that a new government in Australia would finally make a difference, but business chuggs along as usual... i am tired and deflated, and sad for humanity. I mourn deeply for those lost, and for those who will die.

The injustice of it all makes my soul ache.

Letter 3
Dear Dr Nelson

I write to you today to express my deep concerns about the US/Australian "Military Games".

Of course, I understand that our Aussie troops need to undergo adequate and thorough training to equip them with the skills needed to defend our country against any form of aggressive invasion. Of course, our troops need training before being placed in harms way.

However, I do not agree that my taxes and the taxes of other Australians should be "splashed about" to further advance the US's military build up in the Pacific.
