A parliamentary e-petition calling on the government to make a climate emergency declaration has attracted a record number of signatories - three times more than the previous record-holder, which called for the removal of GST on menstrual products.

A record-breaking e-petition has been submitted to the Australian Parliament, calling for the government to declare a climate emergency, two days after a crossbench motion to do so was blocked.

The reason given is that "the overwhelming majority of climate scientists around the world have concluded that the climate is changing at unprecedented rates due to anthropogenic causes."The result of these changes will be catastrophic for future generations, and so we must act now to minimise both human and environmental destruction."

"Labor is making a huge song and dance about declaring a climate emergency, yet refuses to commit to a single policy in this area from the last election," Mr Taylor said on Tuesday.

The idiot lefties think these pretend petitions actually mean anything. More non news reporting from The Age.

Nothing will happen cause our gov doesn’t know how to interpret science

Di Natale said that 1.5 million voted for the greens at the last election, looks like the greens are losing voters if only 370 have signed

Its bullshit.......computer petitions.

An election was held in May . The party with passive climate policies won 👍

That’s 24 million people who didn’t sign it . 👍

The entire green electorate of Melbourne 👌

All of these petitions are crap because anyone can sign from any country & if you have multiple email accounts you can sign a number of times.

Bots at work I see.

Let's see. 370,000 out of a population of 25,000,000. We'll assume that those that voted are politically motivated. Renders the figure insignificant.

Labor wants to declare a 'climate emergency', despite internal split on policyAwwwww But then someone will have a surplus next budget Dinosaurs who think that fascist China should turn the Pacific and Indian Oceans into Chinese lakes. Class war is a bore - and so is the ALP. This is getting so tiring now. We have been in a temperature pause for 20yrs now, C02 is fine at 440ppm (plants are happy). Cold temps too follow grandsolarminimum

Labor to push for climate emergency amid internal rift over emissions policiesLabor will push Parliament to declare a climate emergency at a national level on Tuesday, as an internal rift over its future policy settings divides the party. ALP = Terrorists, taxes, and Chinese bribes. Crooked LNP would rather declare a coal revenue crisis. Labor push into political oblivion as socialist green Left take over.
