Climate Change is arguably the biggest environmental challenge of our time. In the last year, it has captured the public imagination in a way that few environmentalists thought possible. Tim Flannery’s book The Weather Makers, Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth, reports from the IPCC and Sir Nicholas Stern’s review of the economic impacts of ignoring the challenge have all contributed to massive public concern about climate change.
The Western Port Greenhouse Alliance is just one of the many responses to this challenge. Please look over our website, read the Latest Emissions, find out more about the science of climate change and think about the things that you can do. Look at our projects, ask for further information and make suggestions to us for further responses about this enormous challenge. |
