Why rally for the reef tomorrow? Plans to unlock 9 new mega coal mines in Queensland’s Galilee Basin & export this coal through the Great Barrier Reef is fossil fuel extraction on the largest scale, with zero heed to the environmental costs. Number 1 reason that this is an investment in climate destruction (from 350.org article): 1. It will cook the climate – so vast are the carbon reserves stored in the Galilee that this one Basin alone would contribute to releasing six percent of the world’s carbon budget. This project will put the planet into massive carbon budget overshoot, taking us well past a two degree temperature rise, the red line set by the world’s governments. Join the rally at Meelup beach, 11am Sunday 25th January 2015. https://facebook/events/1559345507646104
