Climate headed for 'catastrophe'

Climate headed for 'catastrophe' :

"Such an increase, the WWF maintains, would result in up to 15,000 Australians dying each year from heat-related illness, bushfires more than doubling, species extinction, increased storm damage and icons such as the Kakadu wetlands and Great Barrier Reef disappearing."


Well, we've all said our bit about climate change and some very knowledgeable people have spoken about things we can do. We have some impressive research. Okay, so let me ask you. You give someone a lot of evidence, you give them information and you explain things to them but they ignore you? What kind of person is that? We are not just talking about a trip to the beach or how many beers to get in for Friday night. I mean, we have been talking about global warming and its impact in all sorts of places in the world. What are the people who are in the position to make a change doing? Why is that do you think? All talk and no action or, as my Grandmother used to say ... all mouth and trousers.

There's another expression my Grandmother used to use and that was all fur coat and no knickers but I do not think that particular gem applies.
