The Conservation Council of South Australia (CCSA), South Australias peak environmental body with over 50 member groups, collectively representing tens of thousands of South Australians, says today that the Rudd Government has betrayed the Australians who voted it into office on the strength of its Climate Change promises.
It has betrayed the children of today and tomorrow. And it has betrayed those in the world who have contributed the least but will suffer the most from Climate Change.
This is not the action of a government serious about Climate Change, says Julie Pettett, CEO of CCSA. This is failing to act for the future of Australia.
In Bali last year, Australia acknowledged that emissions needed to be cut by 25-40% by 2020.
