Greenhouse gas emissions and immigration
Last month the Australia Institute, a progressive think tank based in
Canberra, released a report titled: "Population Growth and Greenhouse Gas
Emissions". Authored by Hal Turton and Clive Hamilton, the report asserts
in its Executive Summary that: "The analysis shows that Australia's
population growth has been one of the main factors driving growth in
domestic greenhouse gas emissions". In relating the matter to immigration
they state that: "emissions per capita in countries of origin is only 42%
of average emissions in Australia" and that the "implication is that as
immigrants alter their lifestyle to that of Australians, they increase
global greenhouse gas emissions."
In a letter to a Melbourne newspaper, National Liaison Officer with Friends
of the Earth, Cam Walker, wrote that : "Rather than raising concerns about
new immigrants entering the country, we should be concerned at the
massively disproportionate per capita greenhouse emissions produced by the
Australian community as a whole." Today on Earth Matters 3CR's Heather
Benbow speaks to Cam Walker, of Friends of the Earth Australia.

Messages on Gene Technology
Genetically modified crops and foods continue to be developed and
distributed throughout Australian society. This week around Australia
information will be distributed in supermarkets in the form of a brochure
produced by Biotechnology Australia - but who are they are what interests
do they represent?
Bob Phelps is with the GenEthics Network - a group based at the Australian
Conservation Foundation in Melbourne campaigning against untested and
unlabelled genetically modified products.
