Ironic that the 17th coal train since midnight passed a Vigil acknowledging traditional custodians and people who have died due to effects of climate change. Important to share this moment with physician colleagues The Royal Australasian College of Physicians @Prof. Nick Talley 💧John Van Der Kallen
Destruction of indigenous cultures, coral reefs and coastal cultures and communities, as well as displacement of communities, infectious diseases and heat exhaustion; doctors have key roles to protect health of our people Amnesty International Australia 🕯 RisingTideAustralia #WorldEnvironmentDay
If a 95 year old minister among other religious leaders can be there to protest at 6 am at #worldenvironmentday and deliver the eulogy for 226 deaths/day due to coal we export from Newcastle we could all probably step up a bit #worldenvironmentday RisingTideAustralia @RDNS_TAI
Thanks for being there Jennifer Martin - Physician and Board Director as well as many of the religious leaders in the Hunter, to pay respects to the people who will lose their lives due to climate change.
