Although I don't side with any political party, this is a brilliant speech given by Malcolm Turnbull MP earlier this week that shows due respect to the science behind climate change and the imperative need to take action.
"The consequences of getting our response to climate change wrong will not likely be felt too severely by us, or at least not most of us, but will be felt painfully and cruelly by the generations ahead of us. And the people in the world who will suffer the most cruelly will be the poorest and the people who have contributed the least to the problem. There is an enormous injustice here. When people try and suggest to you that climate change is not a moral issue, they are wrong. It is an intensely moral issue, raising grave moral issues."

It is quite the long speech, but I would highly recommend reading it, een if only to gain greater perspective on the issues that the world around us are facing with the reality of climate change.
