climate change policy

The Australian Greens state:

“We are a party with a philosophy we stand by, a party with its eyes fixed firmly on caring for people and the environment as we meet the 21st century challenges. No one should be left behind as we embrace the environmental, social and economic opportunities in everything from high-speed rail, high-speed broadband, medical technology, solar power, food production, communication, education and technical innovation.”

The Australian Greens will deliver a caring Australia, a safer climate and a proud global reputation. We are the strong, honest party who will stand up to those who protect their own interests to the detriment of the environment and deny everyone else a fair go. It is the Greens who will stand up for what matters.

Einstein once said that you cannot solve problems with the same mindset that created them. (Quote from Christine Milne)

SOME FACTS

The Greens support 45 million population by 2050 which will increase greenhouse gas emissions by over 90 million tonnes per year.

We produce the highest emissions per capita on earth and the Green plan for addressing this is to continue chaotic expansion of our carbon based economy with a Carbon Tax magic wand to make the fairytale work.

This is a form of pro-Growth extremism that denies reality.

This is the same Population/GDP growth rates that Australia has used since Federation. This is an outdated mindset.

The Greens want to build a population driven, growth-based, economy that defies all the basic rules of sustainability.

The Gillard Carbon Tax was allegedly going to reduce emissions by roughly 60 million tonnes per year.

The Greens seem to think growing the population of Australia at 1.8% per annum (doubling every 40 years) is “Green” when actually it is unsustainable and categorised by numerous "experts" as socially, environmentally and economically destructive.

Once your own environment is destroyed you cannot help others.

The Greens seem to think chaotic expansion at existing extreme growth rates, which are 4 times that of the OECD country average, is a way to achieve disciplined improvement and welfare for all?

They also seem to support deteriorating economic fundamentals driven by extreme population growth – which will directly reduce Australia’s capacity to pay for foreign aid in the future?

Why aren't they calling for a public inquiry? :
Australia requires a public inquiry to determine a basis for the optimum rate of population growth
