22 February 2008 Sustainability Emergency - report by Friends of the Earth
Friends of the Earth (Australia) has released a new report Climate Code Red: the case for a sustainability emergency which emphasises the need to acknowledge that the "solutions" to climate change that are currently on the table are no match for the magnitude of the crisis we collectively face. The report includes comments by the USA's leading climate scientist, James Hansen, who states that we should set an atmospheric carbon dioxide target that is low enough to avoid "the point of no return" and that to do this we must not only eliminate current greenhouse gas emissions but also remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and take urgent steps to "cool the planet".

"Climate Code Red...should be essential reading for all political and corporate leaders, but particularly for the community. If we are to have a reasonable chance of maintaining a habitable planet, placing our efforts on an emergency footing is long overdue. We only play this game once; a trial run is not an option." (Ian Dunlop, former fossil fuel industry executive and current Chairman of the Australian National Wildlife Collection Foundation (CSIRO)).
