VOICES for Climate sang up a disruptive storm for the Australian Energy Producers’ annual conference at WA Museum Boola Bardip on Monday evening.

VFC sang a re-purposed version of Stop in the Name of Love to draw attention to the capitulation of governments to the short-term lure of gas, coal and oil royalties.

VFC spokesperson Heath Greville said state and federal governments had committed billions of taxpayer dollars to fossil fuel subsidies, ignored science and their own carbon reduction targets. 

“They are actively contributing to what the United Nations has warned is ahead if fossil fuel driven warming continues on its current trajectory; global chaos, war and untold human suffering,” Ms Greville said,

“We are not talking about fringe science, we are talking about the science used by the Bureau of Meteorology, the CSIRO and the Water Corporation. 

“Yet our elected leaders are not listening to their own scientists.”
