–> RE-READ THE LIVE BLOG OF THE LAUNCH – HERE <–
A few weeks ago, completely out-of-the-blue I received an email from Safe Climate Australia. It’s not too unusual for me to receive emails from a range of different environment groups and non-government organisations with my involvement in the environment movement and the Greens. But what was unusual about this email was it contained an invitation; an invitation to the launch of Safe Climate Australia.
From their website: Safe Climate Australia is a non-government organisation formed and steered by a foundation group of concerned scientists, community and business leaders with a shared understanding of the scientific and moral imperatives for emergency action to restore a safe climate. Safe Climate Australia will build on a range of international innovation and transition projects such as Repower America, which target energy efficiency and renewable generation, a modern national smart grid and electrification of transport as key actions in addressing global warming, energy security and peak oil.
The launch will feature a keynote presentation from The Hon. Al Gore, Nobel Prize Laureate and founder and chair of Alliance for Climate Protection. The launch will also hear from:
- Mr Bob Welsh, CEO of VicSuper, and
- Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Director of the Centre for Marine Studies at the University of Queensland.
Since I’ll be there, I will be doing a live blog (get a reminder here) and tweeting about it using #safeclimateaus hashtag search.

If you’ve read the live blog and have some comments. Please feel free to include them here. If you have general comments about Safe Climate Australia, please feel free to leave them here too.
Personally, it seems like an interesting project but I’m still very concerned about the involvement of the Australian Coal Association and it’s obviously vested interested in perpetuating myths about “clean coal” and “carbon geosequestration” (aka carbon capture and storage). Anyway, as the cliche goes, time will tell.
