Cartoonist Marc Roberts beams his inquisitive aliens down to commentate on ‘a night of bone-crushing, planet-trashing, wrestling mayhem’.
The story so far...
The United Nations agreed a ‘Framework Convention’ on climate change (UNFCCC) all the way back in 1992, in Rio (the ‘Earth Summit’). It was ratified by most countries, including the US. It legally committed the world to taking action on climate change. But talk is cheap, and implementation hard.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
