The Garnaud Report: Australia will be hit hard...

Australia will be hit hard...

Are you one of the majority of Australians
who urgently want our country
to cut our greenhouse pollution?

Most Australians don't have time to read
Professor Garnaut's shocking 600-page climate report, so read a quick clip that summarises it fast,
what it means for Australia - and what it means for you.

Garnaut is already under fire from a "scare campaign"
being waged by the polluting industries'
lobby groups and the Opposition.

That is why it's so important that
you can pick a good climate solution from a bad one.

The Garnaut Review found that Australia
will be hit hard by climate change.

If we do nothing, our grandkids will be living in a very different Australia, one where agriculture in the Murray Darling Basin has all but ended, the Great Barrier Reef has been destroyed, snow-based tourism in Australia is no longer viable, and 5.5 million Australians will be exposed to Dengue fever.

That's why it's important that you understand the climate solutions being proposed to solve the crisis ahead as the PM looks to the Australian public in formulating his response to Garnaut on July 16.
