Australian People's Declaration on Global Warming As citizens of Australia and of the Earth, we believe that the consequences of global warming are likely to be horrific for people and for the environment. We know that it will take a concerted international effort over many decades to avoid the ill-effects of global warming. Yet our Government has failed to take even simple steps to tackle the problem. We declare that our Government does not represent us when it undermines international efforts to reach agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and claims the right to increase <197> not decrease -- Australia's emissions. We are embarrassed by our Government's stance, which we consider immoral and reprehensible. We urge all industrialised countries at the Kyoto Climate Change Convention to commit themselves to uniform and binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
