Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June
13th?
![Page 2: Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June 13 th ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f345503460f94c51302/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
It is now likely that the Greens, Liberals and Independents will now vote to delay the Rudd
Government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme till next year.

This means there will be no targets or carbon scheme in place when Australia goes to Copenhagen in December to make global carbon agreements.

… and this in turn means that we, the people, must build the biggest and strongest climate movement we can.

Then the government will feel pressured to sign up to serious carbon reduction targets at Copenhagen.

We must be so big, and so powerful, that we out-weigh the coal and other fossil fuel lobby groups, who have held Canberra captive for so long.

Can we do it?
![Page 8: Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June 13 th ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f345503460f94c51302/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Earth needs serious help – not 5% token carbon reductions.
![Page 9: Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June 13 th ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f345503460f94c51302/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Already the Arctic is melting from too much carbon in the air – we must not only slow the growth of CO2 in the atmosphere – we have to actually reduce it.
![Page 10: Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June 13 th ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f345503460f94c51302/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This means committing ourselves to drastic carbon reductions – there is no other way. Humans cannot negotiate with an increasingly chaotic climate – it will not listen.

Al Gore has called for 100% renewable energy by 2020 as the only way to avoid climate catastrophe.
We repeat this call.

In the 1960s, the US committed itself to putting a human on the moon by the end of the decade. A huge percentage of the national economy was channeled towards this end, and they achieved the “impossible”.
![Page 13: Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June 13 th ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f345503460f94c51302/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Likewise, we need to build a movement that says to our government:
“We are ready to set ourselves an even more important challenge for the next decade.”
![Page 14: Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June 13 th ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f345503460f94c51302/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“We demand an economy that is channeled towards this essential task.”
![Page 15: Why should I come to the national climate rallies on Saturday June 13 th ?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56649f345503460f94c51302/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“We demand a responsible government that will look after not only this generation, but generations to come.”
