At the midpoint of the Copenhagen climate talks late last year over 2,500 Canberrans together with a total of over 100,000 Australians walked on the 12th December last year to show their concern about climate change.

Since then how far or how little have we as Australians come to tackle climate change?

Come and learn all there is to know about what solutions are being proposed to help with dealing with climate change.

Paul Pollard will examine and explain the differences between the CPRS, Emissions Trading Scheme and a Carbon Tax as well as discussing where Australia stands in the climate change debate.
