More Australian councils declare a climate emergency

Close to three million Australians are living in a declared"climate emergency", as more local councils take a stand and demand urgent action.About five per cent, or 28, of the nation's 537 local councils have called for urgent climate action, with some planning to move their chambers to 100 per cent renewable energy.

The most recent Australian summer was the hottest in recorded history, with fruit cooking on trees while bushfires and floods crippled local communities. Some councils are aiming for 100 per cent renewable energy and zero net emissions, with others instead pledging to lobby state and federal politicians on climate change action.

Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley did not say if she would declare such an emergency, but she thinks local councils should focus on dealing with local environmental issues, such as household rubbish.

Cut and clear more bushes! That may help! We have shitted our own backyards, why complain?

SBS purveyors of alarmism lying.

These same Councils have been conned for years by developers who learnt a long time ago that the more use of “Global Warming” or “Climate Change” they included in submissions the more likely these looney left Councils would permit approvals they otherwise would reject. Hypocrisy!

Complete rubbish and a massive fraud. There is no climate emergency. If you are going to report these things as fact, how about provide some proof.

Alarmist garbage.

Too late, excessive migration is harming us all.

I thought it was a climate crisis? confused

Have they considered a healthy tax cut,?

This is complete and utter nonsense - without a fact to support it. The corrupt and misinformed are keen to wallow in funds from the UN's AGW gravy-train$. Meanwhile, it snows n snows, glaciers are growing and sea-ice is getting ever thicker... climatehoax

Obviously all Left-wing councils who want to appear woke and trendy and who can't bother to do some decent research on the global warming deception.

Recycling system totally broken down nation-wide but there’s a fc7king ClimateEmergency in Noosa? A resort for the elite with the most desirable climate in Australia! Where the rich build their holiday mansions beside the ocean! You fc7king serious?

The climate emergency will only hurt the poor & battlers of Australia.Those people fortunate to work in councils who are trying to get extra leave should work longer & harder they have the same mentality as the ABC workers.

The language continues to change but life goes on.

ErnestoBoliva20 The Agenda rolls on ..

Well that sucks. My neighbour had a 'climate emergency' when it rained on his outdoor wedding. Sure wish they would raise taxes on everyone to stop this happening again.

No they’re not just because some nutjobs say so.

Then why do insurance companies continue to insure property along coastal areas worldwide.

re-open the Beechworth asylum and send the climate alarmists there for treatment.

The renewables grifters must be running low on funds

FakeNews

Local Councillors, mostly aspiring politicians who would sell their soul for a bit of publicity and approval of the dominant PC ideologists. That is why they will continue to entertain us with many 'ideas' as directed by their PC puppet masters.

.....no they don't what a lie

All the recent research shows there is no 'Climate Emergency'

Bullshit.

More BS hysteria

The 'climate science' is wrong. Any intelligent person who chooses not to follow like sheep or does not want to profit over 'climate change' would see this and admit it. Climate change = bandwagon fallacy and appeal to ignorance.

Just here for the growing ratio.

Yep it’s true... cause our so called leaders are dumb fuks and won’t build pipelines from water rich places to send

So they want to raise our rates again 🙈

What exactly does this 'climate emergency' look like?

Councils collect rubbish & are rubbish - abolish this tier of government now

Lunatics. Morbid, decadent and self-inflated LUNATICS.

How about reporting in this FakeNews ClimateChangeHoax

RUBBISH HOW CAN EVEN HALF OF 1.3% OF WORLDS EMMISSIONS MAKE ONE IOTA OF DIFFERENCE ? ITS IRRATIONAL LUNACY JUST THIS IN THE FUTURE MAKES US EVEN MORE IRRELEVANT IN CLIMATE ACTION FACT

Ya bunch of nutjobs - the climate hoax is out!

Just stop with your fake arss agenda! We are all waking up to its not real. Stop selling all of our resources to china and start looking after Australian citizens

Child Abuse to push a narrative. Disgusting. Shame on you SBS

🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

1970's GlobalCooling 1980's and 1990's GlobalWarming 2000's ClimateChange Now ClimateEmergency or simply MoreBS

CLIMATENONSENSE is unscientific and morally reprehensible, it is the biggest scam in human history

Climate emergencies from early 20th century. Also known as a heatwave, or natural variation. Progressive Left pushing ‘climate emergency’ ideology to white-ant traditional values.

We’ll start worrying when coastal property prices start to fall.

Are they the same councils that the UN took Over?

Complete BS. Not one single Australian is facing a ClimateEmergency. It’s all a con and a fraud. As journalists you need to do your research instead of cut and past reporting. People propagating the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming fraud need to be prosecuted. auspol

Do us a favour. Post the names of each council. Then we can vote em out. Globalist tossers

The indoctrination of the gullible masses.

Fear-mongerers!

Stop spreading hysterical lies !

Bullshit

Take a clue, you cretins. It's a HOAX...and not a particularly elaborate one at that.

Can the councils just focus on collecting the trash every week. Thanks.

SBS propaganda. Use critical thought. Their goal is fear and division. SheepNoMore TruthMatters EnemyOfThePeople

Councils should concentrate on REAL issues, like picking up our rubbish and keeping parks nice, neat and tidy. wakeup to UN climatescam Not a ClimateEmergency

Councils can’t arrange garbage pick up properly and they comment on these topics. Omg

Not their job, nor expertise, stick to garbage collection & fixing infrastructure!

The only place where this might happen and I emphasise might is Victoria, besides when has SBS had any credibility!

& who told Mayors & Councils they are in charge now ? 3 R's .... Roads Rubbish Rates which you've failed on ! TIME to clean out Corruption in Politicians & Councils

what a effing joke of a headline ..... get real time to turn off SBS ..... STOP the propaganda bs

Such virtue, so woke. 🤡🌏

What does that even mean?

If the federal government won't lead let's start locally and spread out.

Councils should stick to collecting the rubbish and keeping streets clean. That’s all ratepayers expect from them.

Isn't 'climate emergency' getting a bit long in the tooth now? Time for a new name again.

I see SBS has bought shares in the scaremongering industry. Name one council in a state of climate emergency. What a load of cods wallop.

Councils are 🤪

Bullshit

If the world relied on solar power for even 30% of its energy needs then it would be an absolute disaster when the next VolcanicWinter happens, & they have happened regularly throughout history. Solar power is not actually sustainable, use it and you are living on borrowed time.

Move. It's too late. Vote better next time.

All about the $$$.

Alarmist Death cult

FakeNewsMedia oxygenthiefs overreach Since when is it the mandate of local councils to declare something of a state or national scale. Your rhetoric is flawed and scientifically devoid of emperical substantiation

What rot and what right do councils have going around scaremongering people

BULL.SHIT 👎😡

Scaremongerers !

FEARPORN

Yes the UN has been white-anting councils for years as an alternate means of control.

Bullshit, just wanna charge punters more money for nothing

Millions of rate-payers wish councils would advocate a little more footpath and pot hole action before saving the planet.

13 degrees and wet in Melbourne. Oh , THAT climate emergency.

Really? Go away with your globalist scare-tactics. We see you for what you are.

We will not pay taxes that will not do a thing for the environment just for the rich to get super rich. All these bull has been defeated at the last election, inner city leftiest

Indigenous Australians under-represented in Australia's biobanksRecent research has shown Australia's biobanks, which collect a huge variety of genetic samples for medical research, are lacking in diversity, with Indigenous Australians under-represented in samples. Under-represented everywhere in the world. Those who insist that they have always been in Australia from the time of the dreaming, and therefore reject science, are very resistant to handing over their DNA because it can be used to show exactly which wave of immigration into the content they are really from.
