He talks about the carbon reduction as the the way forward in adressing climate change.    In the second half Dr Daniel Harrison who is the chief scientist in the cloud brightening experiment on the Great Barrier Reef, describes the stages and learnings so far.  As Daniel says this experiment is the first of its kind globally and there is a lot to learn at each stage.    ImagesThanks to the following for the images:https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S1364032113008460-gr2_lrg.jpghttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032113008460#f0010https://gbrrestoration.org/program/cooling-by-cloud-brightening/

CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOW - OCTOBER 4TH 2021Produced by Vivien Langford ON THE ROAD TO GLASGOW Episode 2 Guests:Violet CoCo and Sasha Steindl from Extinction Rebellion - RECLAIM OUR FUTURE this October - Action Network A/Professor Rob Eisenberg - from Vote Earth Now - Vote Earth Now Rebecca Byrnes from The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (fossilfueltreaty.org) The pressure is on for politicians in the month we have before COP 26 in Glasgow.  If you have never contacted the PM or your MP before, now is the time , according to all four of our guests. Extinction Rebellion will be  escalating actions in Canberra as our Parliament sits. Their campaign is called (20+) Reclaim Our Future | Facebook Even if you are in lockdown you can phone  MPs,  Contact Your PM | Prime Minister of Australia or phone Scott Morrison's office on  (02) 6277 7700. At a webinar from The Climate and Health Alliance I learned that . "Health professionals are far more concerned about climate change than the general public. They feel frustrated, outraged and sad when thinking about it".  Apparently midwives are among the most alarmed. They want to talk about climate change but feel insufficiently informed . It was pointed out to us by Rebecca Huntley, that fossil fuel lobbyists are not so shy and that armed with information and support ,medical professionals are the most trustworthy messengers to convey positive messages about the health benefits of climate action.The "Real Urgent and Now" survey of Medical Professionals is worth reading and passing on RUN_Survey__September_2021c.pdf (d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net)Meanwhile in London Doctors protest outside JP Morgan offices to demand they end fossil fuel investments — Doctors for Extinction Rebellion (doctorsforxr.com)‘It’s my duty as a doctor’: XR medics glued to bank demand end of fossil fuel investment | The Independent We speak to Rob Eisenberg whose day job is as an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon and  A. Professor in Public Health at Ndewcastle University. He was motivated to create Vote Earth Now by his belief that we must make our government more accountable.Just one click and you can send a message to the political parties that you are a climate voter Vote Power - Vote Earth Now . Let them know you are watching how they ramp up their climate plans before Glasgow. At a global level there will also be pressure on Fossil Fuel Producing nations to wind back their industry.  The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (fossilfueltreaty.org) is a breath takingly well connected new organisation. They will be at Glasgow arguing that it's not just getting emissions down we need,  but phasing out the production of coal oil and gas. The UN Report  about the production gap between Paris committments and what  the fossil fuel industry is actually planning will put out a new edition before Glasgow.2020 Home - Production Gap report shows that global fossil fuel production needs to fall by 6% each year from 2020.Meanwhile the industry is planning at least a 2% INCREASE and Australia is actively signing up new countries for locking in long term coal and gas use. Feeling the Heat | Australian Foreign Affairs, We speak to Rebecca Byrnes from The Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty about phasing out subsidies and investing in a transformational plan to ensure 100% access to clean energy on a global scale.

Read his report with Climate Warrior - Genevieve Jiva. :GREENPEACE PacifTe_Mana_o_te_Moana-The_state_of_the_Climate_in_the_Pacific_Report_2021.pdf Dr George Crisp - Doctors for the Environment Australia - Current Campaigns and Projects - DEADr Crisp tells us that all the advances in health achieved in the last 100 years are set to be wrecked unless we stop the advance of  Global Heating. Even with 1.1 degrees of warming, look at all the stress on our emergency services around the world, the stress on water supplies, sanitation and nutritious food. All of these underpin our health and are under threat with each fraction of a degree we continue to heat the atmosphere. Dr Simon Quilty  - How a rethink of emergency care is closing the gap, one person at a time (theconversation.com)Dr Quilty also spoke to me during the week about the IPCC report. The  projected temperatures expected in Central Australia, exactly where the gas will be exported from, will be 30+ days beyond 40 degrees. He says we do not need any more research. It's not a biomedical solution. "For frequent presenters to Katherine Hospital, poverty and illness go hand in hand. When you are living in an over-crowded house, and the A$20 power card feeding the air conditioner expires on a 43℃ tropical day, when your heart, lungs and kidneys are chronically malfunctioning and the insulin in the fridge slowly warms, the only free number you can call for help is “000” for an ambulance trip to hospital." It was the most memorable thing I learned  in the week. COVID has been  a wake up call to fix the gaps in our society regarding secure housing,  and effective communication to all groups. Life as we knoiw it demands  that we build back better, not led by gas, oil, coal or landclearing. I hope to bring you that interview in the future. Rachel Collis - Song "Meet me there"  To support this independent musician in COVID lockdown check out her chirpy message and become a Friend of Rachel (268) What's happening! - YouTube HEADLINESBrazil: Indigenous Fight Against Destruction of the Amazon (theintercept.com)Paris speed limit: City slams on the brakes with 30 kph rule - CNNExtinction Rebellion protesters target National Australia Bank | Green LeftCity of London's Guildhall targeted by climate change activists - The Frontier Post FURTHER VIEWINGFor the impacts of gas drilling:Listen to  the story of Neil Stanley in Kogan Qld.Neil's Story - Lock the Gate Alliance  QGC has never been made accountable for the destruction of sacred sites used for initiation.He says "We want justice for the site and an end to the destruction of cultural heritage by gas mining companies seeking short term profits"There are many campaign to  ban further gas exports from NT Don't frack the NT - Seed (seedmob.org.au)Using the imformation from the latest IPCC report and the demands from the International Energy Agency we  are armed to prevent the gas pipeline proposed in Central Australia.
