Coal and climate: opposing paradigms

Tuesday, 24 October 2017 - 9:30am to 10:00am

Environmental sociologist from the University of Newcastle, Vanessa Bowden talks about what she found when she went to the Hunter Valley to interview business leaders about their attitudes to coal and climate change. She explains that Tony Abbott’s doubts about the veracity of climate science and his dismissal of those concerned about climate change, still have considerable support, but there may be some changes in the wind.

And, campaign co-ordinator for Quit Coal, Zianna Fuad provides an overview of IMARC, The International Mining and Resources Conference, happening in Melbourne, and explains the strategic importance of a big Stop Adani Rally planned for the conference on Nov 1st.
