Mackay, Port Augusta (and the religious response to climate change)

Monday, 2 November 2015 - 5:00pm to 6:00pm
Solar power in Port Augusta?

In this episode we find things are moving fast around Port Augusta. The coal mine and power plant are closing. Will Australia's first  Concentrated Solar Thermal plant with storage  be built here in its place?  Vivien called on local MP Dan Van Holst Pellekaan, to find out about the Sundrop Glasshouses and found out a lot more.

Ellen Roberts talks to us from the Mackay Conservation group about the Adani coal project. Is it time for a court case  more about climate impacts than skinks and lizards?


Billions of people trust their religious leaders more than politicians or environmentalists. We need them to get behind climate action. The Islamic Declaration and Pope Francis's "Laudato Si " call for rapid decarbonisation in words that will surprise you.

Thea Ormerod founded the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change. She talks to us about how climate unites Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians  and Jewish people.

Arguably, the biggest event in town...

And, have a look at these...
