Australian Religious Response to Climate Change

The Australian Religious Response to Climate Change (ARRCC) is a multi-faith network taking action on the most pressing issue of our time.

This is Bridgewater Uniting Church in Adelaide. Hardly a hotbed of radicals. It's time to put a 25% tax on gas exports.

@Thejimpenman Only if you look at what we burn here in Australia. In terms of exports, we're the second highest in the world, behind only Russia, thanks to the amount of coal and gas we sell.

[Australian Religious Response to Climate Change @arrcc1]

Right now, a historic step in the journey to a safe climate is on the table at the world’s biggest climate summit: a roadmap away from fossil fuels.

We support the leadership of Brazil in this and encourage all delegates to support it, especially Australia.

@CampbellNewman @LiberalAus It's not right vs left. It's right vs wrong. Slowing down action on a crisis that threatens us all is simply immoral.

Oh, and claiming that renewables are pushing up power prices is simply a lie. It's the cheapest form of power.

[Australian Religious Response to Climate Change @arrcc1]

More momentum for the #FossilFuelTreaty.

If you're serious about the climate, you're serious about phasing out fossil fuels. So far, @AlboMP fails that test. Renewables alone are not good enough. The Buddha's advice was "Cease to do evil, learn to do good". We need both.

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

#Cambodia just became the 18th country to officially support the #FossilFuelTreaty! 🇰🇭

At #COP30 in Belém, Cambodia affirmed their commitment to a fast, fair and financed global transition aligned with a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.

@rowandean @SkyNewsAust Its maker? Anyone seriously concerned about protecting Creation would not be celebrating right now. This is a complete abdication of moral responsibility.

[Australian Religious Response to Climate Change @arrcc1]

It's now official. The high water mark for climate action from the Coalition was under Scott Morrison.

Make no mistake. You can't scrap net zero as a target and then say in the next breath that you're committed to the Paris Agreement. Paris is about that target. By scrapping one you leave the other. This is abandoning all pretence of moral leadership.

Even as the world gathers for COP30 the Coalition is on the brink of dumping reducing emissions to zero by 2050, showing again they don’t care about keeping people safe from increasing extreme heat, fires, floods, storms and droughts. #auspol

New Oxfam research finds that the high-carbon lifestyles of the super-rich are blowing through the world’s remaining carbon budget and using their political and economic influence to keep humanity hooked on fossil fuels to maximize their private profit.

Outcome on Tuesday. Uncles Pabai and Paul are arguing that the Federal Government is negligent and has unlawfully breached their duty of care to the Torres Strait community. They are also asking the court to make an order to reduce climate emissions in line with the science.

Stopping new coal and gas projects or not - that's a crucial policy difference to consider when voting. It's certainly what scientists say is needed if we are to avoid serious climate breakdown. It's also what faith leaders are calling for.
