Gore launches a 10-year safe climate plan

摘要

If Australia is to urgently respond to what is increasingly being considered the climate emergency, it needs a feasible plan for fundamental action this decade. Safe Climate Australia, the new organisation launched by Al Gore in Melbourne last month, has been established to develop one. The world's sea-level rise experts tell us we can expect at least up to a metre of sea-level rise by the end of this century, possibly two to three. 'Now that is catastrophic,' says Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Director of the Centre for Marine Studies at the University of Queensland and a founding member of Safe Climate Australia (SCA).
