Image via School Strike For Climate Action<\/p><\/div>\n

15,000 Australian students went on strike from school in each capital city and more than 20 regional centres across Australia recently. There’s more action to come, but this time outside of school hours.<\/p>\n

The School Strike For Climate Action event held on Friday demanded politicians stop Adani\u2019s Carmichael coal project in Queensland, put an end to new coal and gas, and to work towards 100% renewable energy by 2030.<\/p>\n

Prior to the strike, Prime Minister Scott Morrison criticised the action<\/a>, stating:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 what we want is more learning in schools and less activism in schools.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Resources Minister Matt Canavan was also unimpressed<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The best thing you’ll learn about going to a protest is how to join the dole queue.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liberal backbencher Craig Kelly said the protesters would be better off foregoing ice creams and burgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peta Credlin, who was once chief of staff to then-Prime Minister Tony Abbott and is now a political commentator, wondered what children are being taught in schools.<\/p>\n

“If they learnt more science they might even ask if we really want cheap power and low emissions, why are we ruling out nuclear power, or the new High Efficiency Low Emissions coal fired stations?,” stated<\/a> Ms. Credlin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, perhaps they have learned a thing or two. So-called “High Efficiency Low Emissions” (HELE) coal fired power stations<\/a> aren’t all that efficient or low in emissions – and nuclear power has its own set of significant problems.<\/p>\n

Criticisms such as the above aside, it seems the students were well-supported by the Australian public. Various reports indicate the students were generally well-behaved and while there may have been a few misspelled (and some would say distasteful) placards about the place that helped feed critics’ views, the action made people sit up and take notice – both here in Australia and overseas.<\/p>\n

Australia Not On Track To Reach Emissions Target<\/h2>\n

The students’ charge that the Australian Government wasn’t doing enough on the issue of climate change and renewables appears to have been vindicated last week, when a United Nations report warned Australia was not on track to meet its emissions target<\/a>. Under the Paris agreement, Australia needs to reduce emissions by 26-28 per cent on 2005 levels.<\/p>\n

More School Strike 4 Climate Action Planned<\/h2>\n

Further incensed by the news that a scaled down version<\/a> of Adani’s Carmichael coal mine was set to proceed, the School Strike 4 Climate Action campaign is just getting started.<\/p>\n

Marches are planned for this Saturday in Brisbane<\/a>, Sydney<\/a> and Melbourne<\/a>. It’s not just the Federal Government primarily in their sights this time around:<\/p>\n

“To members of the Labor Party who were convinced this mine wouldn\u2019t get off the ground: it\u2019s time to wake up,” states the event description. “Building on the power of the epic school strike, together we\u2019ll march for our future around the country and demand the Government and Labor commit to stopping Adani before it\u2019s too late.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is still skeptical<\/a> that Adani’s project has legs, her challenge of “I’ll believe it when I see it” won’t be of much help if it actually proceeds. Even if it doesn’t, another coal threat recently emerged that will see Australia’s reputation of being the Typhoid Mary of coal’s damaging effects sustained.<\/p>\n

The proposed China Stone project<\/a>, situated adjacent to Adani’s, is a large-scale, greenfield coal mine with a yield of up to 38 million tonnes of thermal coal per annum. The project recently gained approval from Queensland’s coordinator-general<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was a smart move by School Strike 4 Climate Action organisers to schedule the next action on a non-school day. The goodwill of Australians supporting the original strike may have been severely tested if the marches were to occur on another school day so close to the last. It will also be a test of the resolve of students – was Friday’s action just a flash-in-the-pan, or will the initiative evolve and mature into a force to be reckoned with?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
