Professor David Karoly - Why more gas is crazy! from Climate Conversations by Robert Mc Lean

This show dramatises three aspects of climate action:

 1. Holding the line against more emissions.. In the lead  to stop Adani's Carmichael Coal mine are the Traditional owners who regard this land as sacred.Home | Tour De Carmichael (wixsite.com)

2. Policy and Pressure. J.A Richards talks about the Biden Climate Summit in April.

Will Australia will be pressured to turn our ship around?

She describes how the Glasgow COP this year will  feature  Loss and damage Reparations. This reprersentsd years of ardent work by NGOs and community climate campaigners! Would you like to take collective action?. our members - CANA

3. Public outreach and education; We see  how an eminent scientist like David Karoly is prepared to speak even at a small gathering in Shepparton and a keen radio journalist takes it to a wider audience. Climate Conversations (climactic.com.au)

The ongoing disasterous climate impacts such as the floods here, in Indonesia and in East Timor must wake us up to the emergency our  gas and coal are creating. Cocktail of disaster': East Timor asks for Australian aid as floods trigger disease outbreak (msn.com)

The Climate Action Radio Collective is being launched in Mid May. We want it to be a platform for the great diversity of people taking climate action. If you or a group you are involved with, would like to make a  regular contribution please contact Vivien at

Here is a message from Coedie about the Tour de Carmichael. 

ngadyu narri coedie
My name is coedie

ngadyu dannga Wirdi
My language is Wirdi

ngadyu yamba nani wanggan yagalinggu
My homelands are the wangan and jagalingou

ngaya wandu-na wadirra bama gayu wurba-gu ngadyu yamba nani
I'm asking every man and woman to come to my homelands

yina dalgayu gundarra ngali gara banggayn
This is a big fight and we're not afraid

ngali wurba-na
We're coming

Along the journey we’ll be stopping and sharing about the significance of our Totems, Twin Hills, the Belyando, the Carmichael river and the importance of our sacred Doongmabulla Springs and other dreaming stories. You’ll be invited to the camp and ceremonial ground that I set up for a smoking ceremony in August last year where you’ll be part of some great yarns and teachings.
