Snap Action: Speak Truth to Power (Melbourne)

SNAP ACTION AT ENERGY AUSTRALIA HQ, MELBOURNE:

Scientists have long warned that continuing to burn coal, oil, and gas would have consequences. Yet big polluters undermine efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

EnergyAustralia, the owner of Australia’s dirtiest coal-burning power plant, is attempting to blame state climate and energy policies for the early closure of its old clunker, Yallourn.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s latest report outlines dangerous impacts that have arrived as well as those on the horizon. It warns of accelerating sea level rise, intensifying storm surges, and dying oceans.

We think it’s time for fossil fuel companies to accept the truth about the climate crisis. It’s time for them to do the right thing and stop polluting.

Join us for a snap demonstration at EnergyAustralia HQ, Bourke St, Melbourne on Tuesday 8 October (12pm sharp). Please wear something blue.

See you on the street!

This event will take place on the lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nations. We acknowledge this land was stolen, and that sovereignty was never ceded.
