John Seed recieved an astounding applause as he presented his despair and empowerment talk at the Richmond Town Hall
The event coincided with a lively day in Federal Parliament, following John Howard's Gaffe, where he outed himself as someone who hasn't personally dealt with his own personal position on a realisation that humankind are causing climate change while everyone else including his party has moved on.
The biggest response was to the USA's new democratic congress which returned $12billion out of $20billion US dollar subsidies to the Fossil Fuel industries back to consolidated revenue.
John pointed out that given the USA has 300 million people (15x Australia) Australia has an absurd rate of subsidy for Fossil Fuel industries coming in at 6.5 to 9Billion AUD per year ($5 - $6.5 Billion dollars USD)
The only way to go is renewable energy which is available now with transparent pricing, there was overwhelming suport for this position amongst the 300 attendees.
Beyond Zero Emissions will be running some follow up community climate meetings talking about how and why we must goto "Zero Emissions Minus", near zero emissions across all sectors and active sequestration of EXISTING atmospheric carbon.
