Enter the sensible citizen who has the capacity to think long term and to think independently, able to see straight through all the media ‘white noise’ – the fake news, disinformation and outright nonsense which we are bombarded with on a daily basis. This week 15,000 scientists warned the global community of human misery and catastrophe in depleted planet if we don’t begin to wean off our addiction to fossil fuels. Last year was the hottest on record, and before that 2015 broke all records. Researchers warn that 2017 will be one of the three warmest ever years. Meanwhile, Geelong’s two local newspapers are full of letters, articles and editorials trying to convince us that this doesn’t mean a thing, or that it is a hoax. In The Sustainable Hour on 15 November 2017 we talk heat records and climate change science with Dr Andrew King, Climate Extremes Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, who argues that in three generations, every other year could be a record breaker. We talk with Geelong’s new mayor Bruce Harwoodabout the ‘Clever-Creative’ 30-year vision for Geelong, which he had told voters – in response to a Geelong Sustainability Council Election Survey – that he was “fully committed” to, but now disappointingly brushes it off with a saying that “there are only two days that you can’t do anything and that’s yesterday and tomorrow.” We learn about earth-centered ethics and eco-psychology from Dr Michelle Maloney, learn about a new crowdfunding campaign Paul Hoelen, Ken Peters-Dodd and Paul Nimbahly have started for their Pit to Point Project, where aerial landscape photographers and traditional land owners join forces to #StopAdani. We remind everyone about the #StopAdani event in Geelong on Tuesday 21 November at 11 am in Yarra Street, Generations Against Adani, and play the song ‘Leave it in the Ground’ with Simon Kerr. » More info and an editorial on http://climatesafety.info/thesustainablehour195 » Retweet: https://twitter.com/SustainableHour/status/932103759248969728 #TheSustainableHour #KeepItintheGround #NoMoreBadInvestments #NoCoal #NoNewCoal #CoalKills #PriceonCarbon #CarbonPollution #DropthePolitics #FossilFuelFreeFuture #PlanetEarthFirst #LetsDoIt #BeADoer #2020DontBeLate #ClimateSolutions #SafeClimateFuture #ClimateSafety #ClimateEmergency #ClimateAction #ActOnClimate #Faiths4ClimateAction #ChangeClimateChange #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Geelong #CoGG #GreaterGeelong #CityofGreaterGeelong
