Over 330,000 strike on Friday in Australia doubling the March 2019 protests. Students, workers and people all ages in 115+ Australian cities & towns. Potentially over 4 million people globally will participate in world's largest climate mobilisation.

“The strike comes three days before world leaders meet in New York for the United Nations Emergency Climate Summit. Scott Morrison will not attend the UN summit despite being in New York at the same time meeting with Donald Trump.” <a href="https://www.schoolstrike4climate.com/post/biggest-climate-mobilisation-in-australia-s-history-as-300-000-students-workers-climatestrike" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.schoolstrike4climate.com/post/biggest-climate-mobilis...</a>

“Politicians can show us that they care by taking urgent action to meet our demands: One: No new coal, oil and gas projects, including the Adani mine. Two: 100% renewable energy generation & exports by 2030 Three: Fund a just transition & job creation for all fossil-fuel workers & communities.” School Strike 4 Climate

UPDATE BELOW: 25 September 2019

“Greenhouse gas emissions have been rising in Australia since the Coalition repealed Labor’s carbon price despite the country’s commitments to reduce pollution under the Paris agreement. Total national emissions have increased each year since 2014.” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/morrison-responds-to-greta-thunberg-speech-by-warning-children-against-needless-climate-anxiety" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/morrison-r...</a>

“Diplomatic officials from countries that I speak with see Australia as a denialist government,” he said. “It’s just accepted that’s what it is. It is seen as doing its own promotion of coal and natural gas against the science.” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian-government-seen-globally-as-climate-denialist-un-summit-observers-say" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian...</a>

“Scott Morrison is increasingly seen as running a “denialist government” that is not serious about finding a global climate solution and uses “greenwash” to meet its emissions commitments, analysts and former diplomats say.” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian-government-seen-globally-as-climate-denialist-un-summit-observers-say" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian...</a>

“Richie Merzian, a former climate diplomat who now works at progressive thinktank the Australian Institute, said Australia was seen by other countries as denying the severity of the problem and in engaging in “greenwashing” by using accounting tricks to meet targets while actual emissions increased.” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian-government-seen-globally-as-climate-denialist-un-summit-observers-say" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian...</a>

“A report backed by the world’s major climate science bodies released on the eve of the summit found current plans would lead to a rise in average global temperatures of between 2.9C and 3.4C by 2100, a shift likely to bring catastrophic change across the globe.” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian-government-seen-globally-as-climate-denialist-un-summit-observers-say" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/sep/25/australian...</a>
