Dear all, I am sending the following Letter to media and MPs on the occasion
of 24 October UN Day and 350 Day. Cheers, Gideon Polya
Dear Sir/Madam,
24 October is United Nations Day but has also been named 350 Day for global
action by the organization 350.org that wants an atmospheric carbon dioxide
(CO2) concentration of no more than 350 parts per million (ppm).
Top climate scientists and the prestigious UK Royal Society are saying that
the atmospheric CO2 concentration must be REDUCED from the current 390 ppm
to about 300-350 ppm ASAP for a safe planet for all peoples and all species.
Unfortunately First World governments and the pro-coal Australian
Liberal-National Party Opposition and the pro-coal Australian Labor Party
Federal Government (aka the Lib-Labs) are committed to INCREASING greenhouse
gas (GHG) pollution, ignoring the worsening climate genocide that is
predicted to kill 10 billion non-Europeans (mostly kids) this century.
Australia is a world leader in per capita GHG pollution (60 times worse than
Bangladesh) - with 0.3% of the world population, Australia's domestic and
exported GHG pollution is 3% of the world total.
The pro-coal, anti-science, ecocidal, paedocidal and terracidal Lib-Labs
are betraying our Children, the Barrier Reef, Humanity and the Biosphere of
the Planet and will be brought to account for climate racism and climate
genocide at the ballot box and the International Criminal Court.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Gideon Polya,
Convenor, 300.org (see: http://sites.google.com/site/300orgsite/300-org ).
Macleod, Melbourne, Victoria 3085, Australia
