The official website for December's international climate negotiations in Copenhagen has launched a novel way of promoting views on climate from around the world.Climate Thoughts allows anyone to post their thoughts and have them represented on a globe as a point of light. The globe can be spun to browse thoughts posted from anywhere on the planet, and you can share and support thoughts, as well as post your own.
Australians (and everyone else, of course) can help light this globe in a new and hopeful way by posting their ideas to fight climate change.
You can read the climate thoughts of the famous, the top ten, and the most recent thoughts posted by anyone. Here's mine:
Australia must lead with strong targets
If we are to have an international agreement that will help prevent the worst climate impacts, countries like Australia must lead with strong, science-based emissions reduction targets.We should be aiming for at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2020, and stabilisation at 300ppm CO2 as soon as possible. A heavy per-capita polluter already experiencing severe impacts such as floods and deadly bushfires, we can't afford to sit on the fence, but must instead help lead the world towards a safe climate.
