Yesterday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a ‘Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 C’.
\nThe report contained a very clear message: if we don’t quit coal, we are screwed.
\nSo with a coal-loving Prime Minister and a coal-conflicted Labor leader, it’s time to mobilise for a war against coal and a war against climate change. The Greens are the only party taking this threat seriously.

\n2030 is the new deadline. According to the report, we may hit 1.5 degrees as early as 2030, which could trigger multi-metre sea-level rises.
\nWe don’t just need to make the next election about climate change–we need to make every moment about climate change. We need to hit the emergency button.
\nGlobal emissions need to peak in 2020. But a few weeks ago, we found out that Australia’s pollution is STILL rising. Business as usual under Liberal and Labor is a death sentence.
\nWe need to make every moment about climate change. Our leaders need to be held to account. The evidence is overwhelming, but the action has been underwhelming.
\nLiberal and Labor are paralysed by their reliance on the donations of fossil fuel companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
