I’ve been wearing my heart on my sleeve as a climate change believer since about 2005, when a friend introduced me to the Tim Flannery book, the Weather Makers.
The friend is Murray Hogarth who was the Environment Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald for many years and we used to have the occasional chatty lunch.
Murray asked me if I accepted the concept that mankind had had a negative impact on the environment (and climate) and that unless we all collectively do something the temperature of the plant would continue to rise to the point where it will eventually be uninhabitable.
