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.
jennynoise Well done people now we must monitor whether our politicians will take this seriously. But We have lot more to do to make this happen
jennynoise And just like all of our Twitter accounts, halve it and divide by two for all the cheats who voted five times! Any check on account ID will soon reveal the fraud in these 'surveys'.
jennynoise 0.01% of the population...solid!! 😂
jennynoise 24,000,000 didn’t sign it .
jennynoise Yep that is less than 2% of the voters who voted against it in the recent Elections in May2019 so the Democratic process of Elections remain as the Silent Australians have voiced their opinion on this lucid subject... No to UN funding ; No to Climate Emergency & No to Renewables
jennynoise YAWN 😴
jennynoise That’s ok! Because 15 million voted on May 18 in the climate election! Your side LOST!!!
jennynoise
jennynoise Yawn
jennynoise This consistent push by the lying Globalist media to pressure us into ‘ believing’ is getting juvenile. HegelianDialectic
jennynoise .... it's cold , it's raining , it's October , global warming is bullshit !!!! Melbourne
jennynoise Record breaking but not big enough to bring change according to the 3.5% rule. When a minimum of 3.5% of community engages in sustained (1-2 years) non-violent action, it gets results. We’re not there yet, but it’s growing.
jennynoise So many fools
jennynoise Waste of time.
jennynoise Don't draw conclusions on public interest based on this. Social media deliverd the news the petition existed in my feed at 6 pm on the night the petition was due. Give notice a week in advance and the result would have been vastly different .
jennynoise How many of the 400k are willing never eat meat again buy electric cars fill their roofs with solar panels use no plastic no steel made products no more ipads no more moblies no more holidays that involve a plane or a ship so Aust can change world emissions by 000.1% Lunatics
jennynoise Was it not over 405,000?
jennynoise There is no climate emergency.
coonavass jennynoise Heads up their rear ends. It's all new start in the senate! Throwing a red herring in.
jennynoise Scomo gotta go
jennynoise A long way to go but with costs of business & governing rising (emergency responses, insurance, mitigation etc), environmental degradation impacting on lifestyles & technological innovation things will change. The fact that many people signed a petition is promising.
jennynoise Considering the amount of propaganda expended in the effort it’s not very impressive.
jennynoise What twisted minds - we have bushfires every year due to bad local planning mainly. CC? Nonsense.
jennynoise Sit on my arse and plug an e petition, there, that should fix it, 24.6 million people don’t have their heads on fire Does that count?
simonahac jennynoise A lot of science denial going on in the comments here. I will stick with the Royal Society, NASA, CSIRO, IPCC and these international scientific organisations for my information and advice
simonahac jennynoise Australia has a population of 25,000,000 - 370,000 is a very small number...representative of the general lack of interest in alarmist concerns.
jennynoise Needs another 12m or so signatures to be a majority. Labor should have won the 'climate change' election if they wanted to do this.
jennynoise Nothing says climate emergency quite like a hot air balloon.
jennynoise 39,287 have signed a petition for a RC into violence against women & children.🦗 74,870 have signed to stop Honey Birdette showing porn inspired ads in shopping centres to children 🦗 126,255+ signed against Wicked campers 🦗 ( now won) Those are record breaking... just ignored
jennynoise China & India pump out more carbon into the atmosphere in one week than Australia does in one year, so you need to take you protest to China & India. Guess what they would laugh at you. auspol ClimateEmergency ABC
jennynoise No emergency! Just a socialst push!
jennynoise There is no emergency
Sophiemcneill jennynoise Considering most Australians didn't even know there was an e petition, this is an outstanding result. Coupled with one of the biggest protests this country has ever seen just a few weeks ago, I think it is fair to say Australians overwhelmingly demand urgent action now.
Sophiemcneill jennynoise So what is Morrison going to do about it?
jennynoise Alt-facts - “Only 1.4% of the population sign the most easy of petitions to sign”
Sophiemcneill jennynoise
jennynoise Out of 23 million
jennynoise nows the time for independent verification of the claims
jennynoise I didn’t realise Australia had so many crazies 😳
