SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON AUSSIE PM’S ANSWERS TO THE PUBLIC ON CLIMATE CHANGE

July 6, 2012: Australia's Herald Sun newspaper just hosted an online question and answer session between Prime Minister Julia Gillard and the public about that country's new "carbon" tax (which came into force on July 1, 2012).

ICSC is asking for readers' comments about the Prime Minister's climate (science and politics) statements. We will select the most interesting remarks that we receive and share them with the public via our Website. ICSC will also send the most important comments directly to Prime Minister Gillard's office.

Capitalism’s crises, our solutions: time to change the system | Green Left Weekly

Baba Jan and four comrades — all members of the Labour Party Pakistan — imprisoned along with him are among the growing number of those who could be termed “political prisoners of the global climate crisis”.

...This horror of this crisis is now — not in the future — for millions of people, especially in the Third World where there is even less capacity to cope with these unnatural disasters....Capitalism will not resolve the climate change crisis. It will not because it cannot. It cannot because of its structured social and ecological irrationality....

As the capitalist system takes the world to the brink with its increasingly combined economic and ecological global crises, there is a heavy responsibility on all who see the need to resist and break from this system’s deadly grip to find the ways to work together and, where possible, unite politically.
