Bob Davies at Bimbadeen, the scene of his ground-breaking trials of carbon farming. There is plenty happening locally to give us heart, writes Michael Whelan By Michael Whelan
WORKSHOP sessions at the Climate Emergency Summit in Melbourne last weekend filled up quickly so I didn’t get to all of the sessions I would have liked. Inevitably such large gatherings become more of a spectator event than a working strategic session.
In this climate change journey we find ourselves frustrated at the lack of government action, incredibly concerned for our children and grandchildren and jaded with the overload of tragedies that are occurring globally. Many of the speakers at the Summit reflected this frustration, speaking at length of the dark future if we don’t take strong action.
But not enough was said about what a strong approach looks like and the benefits it would bring humanity and the creatures we share the planet with.
