http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/resources/reports en-au http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/resources/reports/climate-change/false-hope-why-carbon-capture Carbon capture and storage (CCS) aims to reduce the climate impact of burning fossil fuels by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2)from power station smokestacks and disposing of it underground. Its future development has been widely promoted by the coal industry as a justification for the construction of new coal-fired power plants. However, the technology is largely unproven and will not be ready in time to save the climate.

The International Monetary Fund recently predicted a rapid collapse of logging, with all commercial natural forests cut down by 2014. The environmental, financial, economic and social impacts of this will be serious. The report, Securing the future, presents an alternative plan for Solomon Island forests and economy.

Greenpeace would like to make the following recommendations on the Discussion Paper with respect to such international linkages and reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) in tropical developing counties in the region.

The Review will examine the impacts of climate change on the Australian economy and recommend policies to improve the prospects for sustainable prosperity.

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/resources/reports/climate-change/newspoll-action-beyond-kyoto http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/resources/reports/climate-change/switching-from-coal To avoid dangerous climate change, massive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are needed in the next decade. The only way of achieving this is to phase out coal-fired power stations using energy efficiency and renewable energy. The next federal government must work with the states to develop a national plan that begins shutting the dirtiest coal plants in australia, and introduce the necessary clean energy policies to make this possible. Power plants like Munmorah in NSW – 40 years old and needing refurbishment – are exactly the kinds of plants that should be shut first.

We will also need to eliminate landclearing and deforestation and change some of our lifestyle choices to reduce greenhouse pollution. With both Federal Labor and the Coalition refusing to set short-term targets to reduce greenhouse pollution this report is sure to be a conversation starter.
