Expert scientific evidence confirms that human activity is altering the climate and this is likely to lead to impacts on rainfall, water availability, temperatures, bushfire frequency, health, heritage and biodiversity for current and future generations.

The Australian Government is committed to ensuring Australia meets its responsibilities in facing this global challenge. 		  Kids

ASK MORE NOW! WHAT ARE OUR LEADERS DOING?

We read what the government has planned, but do you know what they are doing and are you satisfied with our government’s action to curb Global Warming? If you have reason to believe that your family’s chance of survival is not secure in a warming world…

ASK MORE NOW from your government to combat Global Warming! It is the right and duty of all Australians to ask our leaders, our representatives, to use the power we have given them to rise to the challenge and save our Earth with us.
