CLIMATE ACTION SHOW 13TH JUNE 2022 RADIOTHON - https://www.givenow.com.au/cause442THE MEDIA How did they bury climate action when most voters had it as their top concern?Produced by Vivien Langford Guests: John Grimes in Canberra -  CEO of the Smart Energy CouncilDominic Geiger in Brisbane  - Media Co Ordinator for Lock the Gate Alliance Fahimah Badrulhisham in Sydney - Wentworth Campaigner for Australian Religious Response to Climate Change SUMMARYWhy did the media bury the subject of climate action when so many voters had this as their top priority?https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-10/climate-change-election-policies-scientists-give-verdicts/101020002 John Grimes was appalled that   parts of the media are now indulging the Nuclear Energy Solution while he predicts the ALP will surpass their own modelling of having 83% of our domestic energy from renewables by 2030. This interview is irresistably upbeat but we would like to know your response : [email protected] Joshi found that while Legacy media de-prioritised Climate and the Environment, it was far and away the most discussed issed on Social Media. The 2022 Election result should not have been such a surprise to baby boomershttps://reneweconomy.com.au/the-political-and-media-establishment-ignored-climate-but-voters-didnt/ Dominic Geiger previously a journalist with the Dalby Herald in  QLD, tells us to go on Google Earth to see what damage the Fossil Gas Industry has done to beautiful farmland. The mainstreeam media might not be telling us about it but  he is not so worried by the Murdoch media monopoly in Qld,  because he says young people are all connected to social media and news on the Internet. However at Lock the Gates he is ardent to get us to realise that all the so called "gas basins.".. Seurat, Beetaloo and Bowen Basin are actually place where people live and where  there is an ecosystem to protect in this driest continent on earth. Journalists who blow in and refer to them as basins are doing the work or the gas and petroleium industry and a dis service to the heroic work of conservation by local people.https://www.lockthegate.org.au/energy_crisis_architect_santos_at_it_again_with_qld_coal_seam_gas_expansion Fahimah Badrulhisham  from ARRCC is enlivened by what can be achieved under the radar by social media. She realised that opiniion pieces in the Legacy media are only the opinion of one person. Social media allows the perspective of black and brown people, people in coal affected communities and people worried about the right being trampled on.  They communicate laterally and give each other heart. She participated in many actions in the Wentworth Electorate where a TEAL candidate, Allegra Spender,defeated the Liberal Party incumbent. The  community communication  at Forums and in social media  was way below the Legacy Media commentary and  was vindicated in her opinion by the change in government.https://www.arrcc.org.au/fahimahhttps://twitter.com/arrcc1/status/1527946349597310976

It is hard to get an overview but in this spirit we go to the Tortres Stae Islands, New Zealand, Panama and Belgium. A clear message comes through that indigenous people have a much deeper interest in preserving their mangroves, forests and livelihoods. It is not just about carbon sequestration for them. However, valuing the carbon in living forests as opposed to dead wood may tip the balance in  all our favour. The COP 26 signatories including Australia must be held accountable.On carbon credits:  "Research has(link is external) repeatedly(link is external) shown(link is external) that land under stewardship of Indigenous peoples tends to have far better conservation outcomes — This is a powerful reason to strengthen, not weaken, Indigenous land rights. Also, saying that the only way forward for offsets is corporate control and that Indigenous peoples are going to suffer is problematic. How? This perspective depicts Indigenous peoples as helpless by diminishing their agency and autonomy. It’s also deeply cynical, implying that humanity has learned nothing from the entire history of the conservation movement and is doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.  The fact is, high-quality carbon offsets are necessarily built upon the full and informed participation of Indigenous peoples and local communities, who have much to gain from the financial and technical benefits that carbon offset projects can provide. A major feature — indeed, much of the point — of carbon offsets is restorative justice: a wholesale transfer of wealth aimed at rewarding those who protect nature for everyone’s benefit by acknowledging their control of their lands.
