Hi everyone,

* Please distribute to your networks and members*

We all know climate change is a huge problem, and will require strongaction to ensure a transition to a clean energy future. The time to take action is now, and we need your voice, your energy, and your helpto make it happen. What better day to put some pressure on ourpoliticans and let them know that climate change is a priority forAustralian youth than World Kyoto Day – this Friday. This Friday 16th February the Australian Youth Climate Coalition(AYCC) is launching a cinema ad and a youth declaration on climatechange.

The Youth Climate Coalition is a non-partisan coalition aiming to mobilise young people to demand immediate and meaningful action onclimate change by government and private sector leaders. We have developed a kick-ass cinema ad that will be screened in cinemas allover Australia, starting with Bondi and Randwick, the electorates of Federal Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Federal ShadowEnvironment Minister Peter Garrett.

The Interview on Sunrise was interesting, however I found the rather fast\free blame on Generation X rather perplexing.
Should the statement have not been Baby Boomers as they still seem to have their fingers well into the carbon pie?

I think the focus should be moving away from blame and onto opportunities to SOLVE the climate crisis. Well, obviously there are some more to blame than others - like the fossil fuel industry!
