Some people need to be jolted out of their apathy. Over my lifetime I've seen change happen, I'm 67 yrs old. When I was a kid living in the Blue Mountains we had heavy snow every year, we barely get any snow now. I fear for the future of my children and grandchildren. Every glacier around the world is melting, in 50 years there may be no glaciers left. This means that water supplies for many countries will be severely cut. Long term trends for temperature rise worldwide show no decrease at all, just a steady increase. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the more there is the hotter it gets because more heat is trapped in our atmosphere. I hope the Walk Against Warming makes a strong case for change, I'll definitely try and make it.

When do we want it? NOW. I dont think anyone would take that seriously because it looked like a joke and I think made things worse in trying to convert people and the government. I will come along this time again however would like some better chants if used I went to the last similar climate change rally/walk in Melbourne not long ago, I however was disappointed at the chant that was used because it seemed unoriginal and childish- what do we want? green energy.

Maybe someone such as yourself could organise a walk on Hobart. Sure it might start off small but the whole idea is for the long run. Frank.

On the up-side, perhaps our ditzy Prime Minister will see first-hand the bullying tactics the lunatic left greenie fringe are using to get their fallacious way on Climate Change - the biggest scam of our time!

The Florentine, magnificent that it is, is a long way from Hobart. Pity the southern Tasmanian walk isn’t in Hobart to allow many more people to participate and to see the event.
