Aldermen Simon Behrakis, Damon Thomas and Jeff Briscoe walked out of the meeting, leaving the rest of council"in shock"."They knew if they left there wouldn't be a quorum … It's disappointing and very unusual. I've never seen it happen before," he said.
"It was unexpected, but it was also premeditated … that's the annoying part, that they had set it up beforehand in order to avoid having to vote and losing the vote." Approximately 500 councils across the world have committed to recognising climate change as a global emergency. Nineteen councils across Australia make up that number, with the ACT the first state or territory in the country to follow suit.
If passed, Mr Harvey's motion would have seen Hobart City Council write to Prime Minister Scott Morrison to urge his Government to declare a climate and biodiversity emergency.Councillor Zelinda Sherlock was at last night's meeting and took to Facebook to express her disappointment that the motion was not debated."I think it's a breach of the democratic process and it's an insult to representing members of your community.
Typical leftist banter. Beware of flag carrying, slogan chanting socialists. They believe they have a right and mission to overthrow the majority. auspol
Power to those who actioned the motion .. TheLiarFromTheShire wants this type of division and chaos to continue.. maintain focus & get it done Hobart
There is no emergency there is just a gradual phenomena that needs to be managed, & it is been managed now, in a way that will see humanity using fusion energy and drawing back CO2 from the atmosphere as required, by the middle of this century. Well within the time requirements.
Climate change is overrated. A World Wide large Scale Tree planting From All Nations, would be the best way. Better believe that.
You realize tens of thousands of well respected climate scientists actually disagree that human impacts are driving the Earth's climate right? AGW is a monumental lie, devised by the elite (through the U.N) to impose complete control over humanity. Agenda21 Agenda2030
At least there are 3 people in Tasmania with common sense.

Hospital patients to be put in waiting rooms and corridors with hand bellRoyal Hobart Hospital patients will be left to wait in meeting rooms and corridors with hand bells to help combat overcrowding. Qld Health was doing this, without the bell, to patients for years. My mother was treated this way Oh well! They're not even admitting patients in Queensland; the hospitals send them to go out into the street to go away & die. Health dollars are paying for more & more armchair experts, admin staff, offices to put them in & lots of committees to solve the crisis. 😳 Is that what they did for Milat?

'Green not grey': UN head calls time on coal during Pacific climate change missionThe world’s top diplomat has called for no more new coal fired power stations and more ambitious emission reduction targets while visiting the Pacific to tackle climate change 'crisis'. Dear 'top diplomat at UN', While you turn a blind eye to israel US & every other oppression mass killings refugees & genocides, they can keep using coal & let the world burn for all i care! The reason the world is in a bad state is because we have such a weak and useless UN, it would have been better to have no UN so we could create a good one. Hmmm, pity this leader does not appear to apply the same criteria and expectations to all countries including the less developed. Has a single minded objective to force developed countries to fund emissions reduction. One should understand the hidden motives of the UN

Voters back more action on climate change, renewables and electric carsMore than 80 per cent of Australians want more action on climate change, up 20 percentage points since 2013. Why wouldn't we? LeanLeft 2020Blue No I want the basics first, People are struggling to put food on the table, struggling to Pay the utility’s etc so get all this sorted for us mere commons first. If you back the man-made climate change myth, you're literally endorsing a narrative concocted by oligarchs, and calling for your, and your children's future enslavement through U.N eugenics/depopulation schemes such as Agenda21/Agenda2030.

The sooner you act on climate change, the cheaper it is: Albanese | Sky News AustraliaLabor frontbencher Anthony Albanese says from every economic analysis on climate change, ‘the sooner you act, the cheaper it is’. \n\nSpeaking to David Speers on Thursday, Mr Albanese defended Labor’s 45 per cent emissions target and said ‘delayed action on this means increase cost’. \n\nThe MP says he believes there are businesses across Australia that are behind Labor’s emissions target, and Labor will put a framework in place to drive change across the economy. \n\nHe says the Coalition are 'market and climate sceptics', and have a position that’s almost 'anti-business'. \n\n AlboMP Of course he's defended it. Do you really think that he wouldn't? AlboMP When did carbon turn into a product or commodity? It now helps traders, corporations earn billions of dollars trading credits. Last year global carbon credit trading was estimated at $10 billion, with India's at around $1 billion. There is better ways, but people don’t make money AlboMP 👎
