23 August 2013 Mik Aidt Commentary, Local Geelong matters

It is time to demand an end to the Victorian government’s double standards on energy. By Mik Aidt and Anthony Gleeson Politicians tend to make it all sound very complicated. But really, it is not. Victoria is the most polluting state in Australia. Our state could clean up its act

Corporate executives show irresponsibility and greed

22 August 2013 Mik Aidt Commentary

Is it going too far to accuse a large number of Danish corporate executives for being irresponsible and greedy, considering the response they have given to the Danish government’s new climate plan?

Industry accused of crimes against humanity

22 August 2013 Mik Aidt Australian matters, Commentary

First Carbon World War: who smells smoke?

31 July 2013 Mik Aidt Commentary, World affairs

The CO2-pollution crisis is just as serious as if a large asteroid were on a collision course towards Earth, says a British scientist, and he is backed by calculations from Canadian and US scientists which show that runaway greenhouse effect is a realistic possibility. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, something that

Climate campaign leaders: you must talk together now

13 June 2013 Mik Aidt Commentary

This is a call to all climate campaign leaders: you guys need to talk together. Make a climate campaign alliance or just a simple internal network of some sort. Open up a communication channel between yourselves. Or at least figure out some way to establish better co-ordination for the sake

Call for more cyclists in the streets

7 June 2013 Mik Aidt Commentary, Local Geelong matters One comment
