Fiona Armstrong | So the Carbon Price means Climate Policy is Sorted, Right? Wrong…

The announcement on a political agreement to pass the first significant piece of national climate policy is just that, a political agreement.

Fiona Armstrong writes that climate change, rising atmospheric CO2 levels, acidic oceans and melting ice sheets will continue, regardless "of how politically inconvenient it might be".

Climate change, at its core, is a health issue. As such, health professionals are needed to step in and fill the moral vacuum left by our political leaders on climate action.
