Excited that Dr John Hewson is to launch the book in Sydney, May 7.
And Greg Combet (parliamentary secretary for climate change) and Dr Michael Molitor (CEO CarbonShift) are to launch the book at parliament house in Canberra on May 28.
Attended a low carbon taskforce with some high-end corporate and business investors organised by John Hewson and Global Access Partners. To solve this issue we need to get clean capital moving and it was really interesting to see and discuss the opportunities among investors in the low carbon economy
Marc and I had a long chat about all different topics from climate science, carbon obesity to the vulnerability of Australia’s coal exports. It was great to have an interview which was filtered, edited and cut down to be a 30-second grab. Marc allows a discussion of the issues and it was my favorite interview to date. We were having such a good time, I didn’t realise that we were going for 30 minutes or so! Listen to the podcast.
Spoke for 20 minutes about the latest climate science and the book at a town hall forum with Maxine Mckew and Penny Wong in Sydney. After both Senator Wong and I spoke, there were questions from the floor. Low and behold I received none 
There was a lot of heat coming from the people about the softly stance on emissions targets and compensation to big business within the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. It was very interesting for a scientists to see some of the anxiety out there in the community. In saying that, it’s fantastic that government ministers are doing these town halls so at least the people can at least ask them direct questions and hold them to account.
