Climate News: City Council breaks covenant with climate emergency declaration; Fecderal Government's river water processes creates controversy

The council of the City of Greater Shepparton has extended its approval for the staging of the Spring Car Nationals at the city's showground, in breach of its covenant with the 2020 climate emergency declaration.That apparently simple act of endorsing the continued use of the city's showgrounds for what is a "climate offensive" event effectively amounts to the hidden approval of the business-as-usual paradigm.Here is a Shepparton News article about that issue: "Petrol before planet";"Environment water rejected";"Report indicates basin shortfall";"Biodegradable plastics that actually break down might finally be here";"Is My Morning Coffee Climate Friendly?";"Private companies have raised millions to block the sun.
