Firefighters are now demanding real climate action!
“We want to see less people losing their homes in bushfires, not more. Real climate action means:
– An end to the billions in fossil fuel subsidies
– An end to the billions in “compensation” polluters get via the carbon price
– A stop to the expansion of our coal and gas mining and exports
– Starting the transition to 100% renewable energy”
