2. PHASE OUT FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES
Meanwhile in Australia...
So good luck with that "vote for the party that supports renewable policies" as a solution.And yet, incredibly, the response of Australia’s leaders to this unprecedented national crisis has been not to defend their country but to defend the fossil fuel industry, a big donor to both major parties — as if they were willing the country to its doom. While the fires were exploding in mid-December, the leader of the opposition Labor Party went on a tour of coal mining communities expressing his unequivocal support for coal exports.
