Does Charity Begin at Home?

eileen — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 13:13:01 +1000

After the recent devastating floods in Queensland and Victoria, some suggested that we should assist people here before assisting those in other parts of the world facing similar or worse hardship.

In Australia we are lucky to have an able and responsive government, well-developed insurance systems and effective services to respond to
community needs. But in many developing contexts, its a very different story. When two-thirds of the world is poor, can we afford not to take their needs and rights seriously, just because they are beyond our borders? What obligation do we have to assist poor women and men in countries other than our own?

Are we Melbourne citizens or global citizens? Or both?

Climate Change: The Critical Decade

eileen — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 12:15:14 +1000

Professor Hans Joachim Schellnhuber

Recent climate science suggests our future looks dire. Most relevant observed trends - in greenhouse-gas emissions, global and regional warming, sea-ice loss and sea-level rise - are in the upper range of projections. Despite a worldwide political consensus to limit global average temperature rise to less than 2 degrees celsius, the collective effect of current national measures will lead to average warming of up to 4 degrees by the end of this century. Climate change now threatens to disrupt the Earth’s systems in ways that are beyond all human experience.
