Quick Climate Links: Middle-aged white men responsible for climate crisis

Former U.S. President, Barack Obama (pictured) was among the speakers at COP26 in Glasgow and pleaded with those concerned about the climate crisis to persevere.

RN Breakfast host, Hamish Macdonald, interviewed Australia’s Resources Minister, Keith Pitt, who said Australia would be selling coal for decades.

Climate Conversations has long argued that it is women and girls who are at the forefront of the climate effort, both locally and at an international level and it’s white, middle-aged men who are responsible for the crisis.
