THE Queensland Planning and Environment Court has ruled infavour of a Council decision in 2011 to reject an application

by Gillion Pty Ltd to operate a commercial groundwaterextraction business in Power Parade, Tamborine Mountain.

Mayor John Brent said: “This has been a lengthy legal process,but one which is an example of Council’s commitment to listenand act on the concerns of the community.”Judge Robertson in the Planning and Environment Court last

Friday dismissed an appeal by Gillion Pty Ltd against the refusalby Scenic Rim Regional Council of its development application.He found the use to be a “significant conflict with the Planning

Scheme” with insufficient grounds to justify an approval despitethe conflict. He qualified that by saying that if he had acceptedGillion’s argument that the conflict with the Planning Schemeonly amounted to a “technical or mechanical” conflict he wouldhave been persuaded, despite his reservations, to allow the appeal.Gillion’s barrister informed the court that Gillion intended to

appeal against the decision in the Supreme Court.The separate matter of the suspension of an enforcement order

– allowing Gillion to continue trading until the appeal wasresolved – was heard later in the day.Both Council’s and the residents’ representatives objected

strongly to any extension. They argued Gillion had already hadmore than two years of extensions to its advantage and to thedetriment of local residents and that Gillion could source waterelsewhere. Despite their objections, the judge granted Gillion atleast a further six weeks in which to extract and transport wateroff the mountain.During this extension, the Gillion water tanker is required to

use the Oxenford haul route: Power Parade to Main WesternRoad, into Hartley Road and Long Road, past the TamborineMountain State School, through Gallery Walk and downMacdonnell Road to Oxenford.

RETIRED Rugby great, Garrick Morgan,will be helping some other retired

athletes to make a new start by promotinggreyhounds as pets at Tamborine Mountain’sMillion Paws Walk on Sunday, May 19.The former footballer has kindly offered

to fill in for Olympian Sally Pearson, whowill now be competing overseas, as aspecial guest at the RSPCA’s fundraiser.As well as helping to raise funds for the

RSPCA’s efforts to re-home some 18,000dogs in Queensland each year, our localMillion Paws Walk will focus on findinghomes for former racing greyhounds, whichmake wonderful pets.Racing Queensland’s adoption group

Greyhounds as Pets and charityorganisation Friends of the Hound will eachhave displays at Geissmann Oval, whereex-racing dogs are a sure bet to win hearts.While many people associate greyhounds

with muzzles and believe they must bevicious, they are in fact usually gentle andsweet natured animals.Patient and tolerant dogs, greyhounds are

usually very good with children and their

calm, sensitive and friendly nature has seenthem used as therapy pets in aged care andspecial needs homes.Another misconception about greyhounds

is that they need lots of exercise, but theyare actually less active than other dogsmore often kept as pets, such as cattle dogsand kelpies and have earned a reputation forbeing the world’s fastest couch potatoes.Greyhounds rarely bark and their short

coats are a bonus for people with allergiesas they do not shed a lot of hair and do nothave an odour.The Million Paws Walk will begin at 8am

with a barbecue breakfast at GeissmannOval, where there will be a jumping castleand face painting for children, raffles, livemusic and competitions for the best dresseddog and owner. The event at GeissmannOval will conclude at 10am, when thewalkers will set out with the option of atwo-kilometre or five-kilometre route.Participants can pre-register for the walk

by logging on to millionpawswalk.com.auor by picking up an entry form at the RSPCAshop, 40 Main Street, phone 5545 3988.

Greyhounds a sure bet to win hearts at Paws WalkThis retired racing greyhound never won a race, but she certainly won Portia Warwick’s heart.

from page 1This requirement is specific to the

Gillion tanker, Reg No. 304 RNE. Thetanker is not to go past the school duringmorning or afternoon peak times.The Gillion appeal to the Supreme

Court must be based on an argument thatthe judge made an “error in law” in themethodology or reasoning he used incoming to his decision. No furtherevidence can be introduced.A spokesperson for the residents’

group, Jennifer Peat, described thecourt’s decision as a victory for thecommunity and for Council.She said that until Gillion had formally

lodged its appeal documents it would not

decide whether there was benefit inentering into the appeal. Council mustrespond necessarily.Throughout the appeal proceedings a

core group of residents worked hard torepresent the interests of those in thewider community who had expressedopposition to the removal of groundwater from the Mountain. They raisedpoints that Council could not.“This decision is welcome

acknowledgement that Council made theright decision when it upheld thePlanning Scheme and responded tosubmitters’ concerns by refusingGillion’s development application,” saidMs Peat.

THE Queensland Government hasappealed to Queensland motorists to

pledge their support for road safety thismonth.Among its goals is a Fatality Free Friday

on May 31. Fatality Free Friday is anation-wide campaign to have not a singledeath for one day on Australian roads.State Member for Beaudesert, Jon

Krause, said it was startling to see thatalmost one in five road fatalities inQueensland occurred on a Friday last year.

Since its inception in 2007, the FatalityFree Friday campaign has continued toexpand its operation and is now recognisedas Australia’s only national communitybased road safety program.To April 30 this year, 99 people had lost

their lives on Queensland roads – 16 morethan at the same time last year.

Mr Krause said an inflatable car, onwhich people could sign to pledge theirsupport for road safety, would be touringthe State – or they could sign their pledgeonline at www.fatalityfreefriday.com.

Canungra vision focuses onvillage atmosphere

COUNCIL has endorsed the community’s vision for Canungraas a thriving rural village and has adopted the area’s Local

Planning Study. The study document, created in consultation with the local

community, outlines a 20-year vision and strategic plan formanaging future growth in Canungra and its surrounds.Planning and Development Committee Chair, Cr Jennifer

Sanders, said the study focused on six key planning strategies forthe area.“Following our consultation with the community, amendments

were made to the draft document to give an increased focus onproviding land for employment and small business, as well asopportunities for the establishment of cottage tourist facilities,” CrSanders said.“We have also given more detail about the potential to link a

walking trail network to green space and attractions in Canungra.“In addition, each of the six planning themes now includes an

implementation strategy outlining how these outcomes will bedelivered.”The study includes a land use plan which aims to provide a

balanced approach to the area’s expected growth from 700 to 3000people over the next 20 years.Deputy Mayor Virginia West said she believed the final

document reflected the broader community’s aspirations forCanungra."Residents expressed their desire to retain Canungra's vibrant

village atmosphere and preserve its rural lifestyle and character,while providing increased opportunities for employment and smallbusiness," Cr West said.The Canungra Local Planning Study document can be viewed

online at www.scenicrim.qld.gov.au.

and work colleague Angela Macpherson on Sunday when shephoned her in Byron Bay to tell her she had just won the SUPAIGA Mazda 2 motor vehicle. Angela, of Eagle Heights, was relaxing in Byron Bay when her

winning entry was drawn at the supermarket. When it becameobvious that she was not present for the draw, Sharon who hadAngela’s mobile number, volunteered to phone her.The Mazda was a special prize offered by SUPA IGA to

The 2013 Garterbelt and Gasoline festival has been another outstanding success,providing three days of fun, colour and spectacle and bringing thousands of visitors

to the Mountain. Highlights of the festival were the rockabilly ball, soap box derby andhot rod and vintage car show. Next year’s festival is already being planned andpromises to be an even bigger event.

AUTUMN is a lovelytime of year on

Tamborine Mountain –days are usually brightand sunny, yet there is arefreshing crispness inthe air. As in everyseason there is a regularpattern of life cycles,growth and activities,such as migration andflowering, but the seasonal changes here arefar more subtle than in many other parts ofthe world. One of the most colourful seasonalspectacles in nature is the autumn leaf displayof deciduous trees, which is mainly seen inthe USA, Canada, Europe and Eastern Asia.Why and how does this phenomenon

occur? The leaves of deciduous trees aretender and unlike tough leaves such as pineneedles, they would be vulnerable to the lowtemperatures of winter, so the loss of leaves isa means for the tree to shut down and avoiddamage, and the autumn colours are aconsequence of this strategy. Deciduous trees are sensitive to the length

of days and nights. When a thresholdday/night proportion is reached, the cells atthe leaf juncture divide rapidly to form acorky layer of cells that block the movementof materials between the leaf and the branch.One of the materials that require constantreplenishment from the plant to the leaf is thepigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a stronggreen pigment that give leaves their colour,and plays a vital part in the process ofphotosynthesis. Chlorophyll breaks down insunlight, and as the supply of chlorophyll isblocked, the green colour of the leaf fades.Other pigments always present in the leaves,such as yellows (xanthophylls) and oranges(carotenoids) can now be seen. Other colours

are produced from thesugars that are trapped inthe leaves, which mayform red and purplepigments(anthocyanins).It isthought that thesepigments may act as asunscreen, repel insectpests or reduce waterloss.

Some trees lose their leaves when they arequite colourful, and others retain their leavesuntil all the pigments in the leaves fade in thesun, and the only pigments that remain aretannins, which are brown. When the leavesfall to the ground, they decompose and form arich layer of humus; this benefits both theindividual tree and the entire forest.Certain colours are characteristic of certain

species, eg maples are red and poplars aregolden, but the change is also influenced bytemperature, moisture, sunlight, drought,wind and soil conditions, so each autumn isdifferent.Here on Tamborine Mountain we have a

number of exotic deciduous trees planted asstreet trees and in private gardens. Theircolourful transformation gives us a hint of thechange of seasons and represents autumn,even in our land of evergreen trees. A correction to the article on highs and

lows: humid air is less dense than dry air. Themolecules of water are lighter than those ofgases such as oxygen and nitrogen, so a cubicmetre of humid air will contain moremolecules of water and will therefore belighter than a cubic metre of dry air.

COUNCIL recently resolved bymajority vote that an extra on-street

disability parking bay outsideTamborine Mountain State School wasnot required in addition to the onealready provided.It has been reported that this outcome

did not reflect the prevailingcommunity sentiment on this issue and,to quote one proponent, that Council’shandling of the situation had beenfarcical. This is incorrect on bothcounts.Matters such as this are not normally

referred to the highest level for adecision. However, following twoseparate investigations into the need foran additional disability parking spaceand a subsequent internal review of theactions taken, the issue was broughtbefore the full Council for a finaldetermination.By all measures, in this case Council

delivered a comprehensive response toan otherwise routine request, althoughthe outcome was not to the satisfactionof the proponent.In making its decision, Council took

into account the key conclusion of aParking Investigation Report that there

FROM THEMAYOR’SDESK

was not sufficient demand for thedesignation of an additional disabilityparking bay at the school entry on CurtisRoad.This report, prepared by Council’s

Road Safety Auditor, was the secondinvestigation into the matter within asix-month period. It involved on-site inspections of

parking movements outside the schoolat different times over four days,discussions with the school principaland local police, and a review of therelevant regulations and legislation.Council also determined that the

provision of an additional disabilityparking bay would result in a reductionto the already limited number of parkingspaces available to all parents droppingoff or collecting their children.However, while Council is responsible

for managing on-street parking, itshould be noted that there is an off-streetparking area in the grounds of theschool.This could be redeveloped to provide

further disability parking should theschool or Education Queensland believeit appropriate.A survey of parents at the school,

which has an enrolment ofapproximately 525 students, wasconducted via the school newsletter.We were advised the outcome was 12

responses, 10 of which were in favour ofproviding an additional space, certainlynot an overwhelming outcome from theschool community.

MORE THAN 20 WEAPONS HANDEDIN DURING AMNESTYThe widely publicised general amnesty

on firearms and weapons has nowconcluded. More than 20 weapons werehanded into us at the police station over thethree month amnesty period. Most of theseweapons were category A classed weapons,meaning they were normally shotguns, .22calibre rifles and .177 calibre air rifles.However, a few weapons that weresurrendered were quite unexpected. Several semi-automatic rifles, including

one military style semi-automatic, heavycalibre (7.62mm) Chinese-manufacturedSKS rifle with bayonet attached comes tomind, as well as several pistols of varyingcalibre and size. It surprised me that thosetypes of weapons were still out there in thecommunity and not registered. Personally, I would like to thank all those

persons who surrendered weapons to policeduring the amnesty period - you have allin a small way contributed to the safetyconcerns within this community. Please beaware that even though the general amnestyis over, you can still deliver weapons to usor to a registered weapons dealer (who maypay you for your item) for safe keeping orfor destruction. However, you will berequired to identify who you are and howyou came into possession of the weapon/s.FAILING TO PAY FOR FUELPlease be aware we are still receiving

reports from service stations about peoplefailing to pay for fuel. If you fail to pay forfuel or make appropriate arrangements topay on time, you could be charged with astealing offence. You could even bebanned from buying fuel in the future froma particular retailer.HOW YOU CAN ASSIST OURINQUIRIESAs you can imagine, we as police officers

are directed to attend all types of jobs,anything from break and enters to traffic

accidents to assaults and much, much more.Sometimes we cannot attend to matters asquickly as we would like and this happensfor all types of reasons. However, victims,informants and witnesses can assist policeand themselves by gathering evidencebefore police arrive. Without puttingyourself in any danger, please recorddetails of what was seen and when andwhere it occurred. Don’t trust yourmemory, write down car registrationnumbers, type, make, colour and model;take photos on your mobile phone if youcan and gather the names and details ofother persons who may have been witnessto the event. Don’t touch anything ofevidentiary value to forensic police, unlessabsolutely necessary. Be prepared to sign astatement under oath and appear in court ata later date if required. Everything you doas a victim or a witness to help police cancontribute to criminals being successfullyidentified and prosecuted. DRINK-DRIVERS TARGETED ONMOUNTAINOnce again I have to mention that we

continually target drink-driving offenderson and about the Mountain. NorthTamborine Police officers conductapproximately 4500 random and roadsidebreath tests per year. Add to this thenumber of tests performed here on theMountain by the Coomera Traffic Branchor other police crews passing through ourarea and the number of Random DrugDriving tests performed by visitingspecialised police units. Needless to say, asmall percentage of intercepted drivers willbe charged with offences. I plead with alldrivers and persons in control of vehicles(ie persons accompanying learner drivers)to drive safely, not drink and drive, andremain below their specific and appropriateblood alcohol concentration legal limits.

The Wisdom of SolomonDear Geoff,

Several years ago at the Woodford Folk Festival Ioverheard two men speaking about ‘wisdom’. They weredeep in conversation about how amazing this wisdom is, andhow easy it is to get, and how it just comes like a bolt outof the blue, and how awesome it is. They were fairly youngmen, still in the years when most of us are trying to figureout how to make the right choices in life. When I cameacross them later I realised that they had found this‘wisdom’ through a ‘joint effort’. If it were only that easy!

The Bible talks a lot about wisdom. There are a numberof books of the Bible that are called ‘wisdom literature’,they were written about how to live life in its day to daystresses and challenges. Some of these books were writtenby King Solomon who was widely known for his wisdom. Atone point in the New Testament Jesus is speaking about howhe is different from Solomon. About Solomon he says, ‘TheQueen of the South…… came from the ends of the earth tolisten to Solomon’s wisdom, and now one greater thanSolomon is here.’ (Matthew 12:42, NIV. Read about theQueen of Sheba, 1 Kings chapters 9, 10.)

Jesus claims to be greater than Solomon in wisdom.He’s not just saying he has more detailed knowledge of

everything Solomon knew. Jesus is saying that he ishimself wisdom. He is quantitatively different fromSolomon. Solomon had wisdom within the context of OldTestament redemption which was incomplete in the lightof the expected coming of the Messiah. Solomon’s greatwisdom was unable to grasp the mystery of redemption inChrist which was waiting for fulfillment in the future. Paulrefers to the message of the gospel as ‘the mystery ofGod, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasuresof wisdom and knowledge’. Christ is our wisdom for life andfor death. He has embraced all of humankind’s deepestneeds in both life and death; not just the needs we thinkwe have but our true needs as God sees them. We needredemption through Christ, and until we understand thisand seek it we will be ever adding more of the wisdom ofthe world…and ‘the world through its wisdom did not knowhim’ (1 Cor. 1:21 NIV) But for those who come to him byfaith, Jesus Christ ‘has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.’ (1 Cor.1:30 NIV).Your Brother,Kim Advertisement.

SCENIC Rim Council is applying for aDamage Mitigation Permit (DMP) from

the State Government in relation to a flyingfox colony at Boonah’s Bicentennial Park.Mayor John Brent said: “We believe that

proceeding with a DMP application is themost appropriate step to manage the flyingfox population at Bicentennial Park.“This application process involves

approvals from both the State and FederalGovernments under relevant legislation.”“This is a complex issue, so it is

appropriate to seek expert advice todetermine the best management measuresavailable to Council under the DMP insupport of our application.“Once the necessary approvals have been

secured, Council will make a finaldetermination in relation to implementingthe endorsed measures.”Cr Brent said Council had weighed up the

wellbeing of the Scenic Rim community

versus maintaining a habitat for nativewildlife within a built-up residential area.“The reality is that we have a number of

residents in Boonah who continue toexperience a significant impact on theirday-to-day living as a result of theproximity of this flying fox colony,” CrBrent said.“This is not an historic habitat site

impacted by urban expansion, quite theopposite. The roosting of these flying foxeshas only become an issue in recent yearsdue to the growth of vegetation inBicentennial Park.“We have monitored this situation for

some time with the expectation that thecolony might naturally relocate of its ownaccord.“This has not happened and we have

reached a point where doing nothing is nolonger an acceptable option in the eyes ofthe local community.”

TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER,WITCHES CHASEA Telstra information session on theproposed facility has been planned forWednesday 15 May from 4.30pm to 7.30pmat the Vonda Youngman Community Centre. Previously, I have asked if Telstra would

liaise with Energex over whether Telstracould utilise the Energex tower at the end ofBeacon Road. Liaison has occurred and theanswer is no as the Energex tower is at maximum capacity.I urge residents to take advantage of this information session. Theformal public notification period will commence Monday, May 20.SRRC PLANNING SCHEME AND THE STATEPLANNING POLICYI am having a meeting with the Council’s Project Officer for theSRRC Planning Scheme on Thursday May 9 and I will be seekingconfirmation on how the community consultation process will work.Meanwhile, the State Government has produced a draft State

The consensus was yes to more tables and seats butno to picnic shelters. The requirement for steps and rail from eastMain Street, opposite the bakery, up onto the median strip was aquestion mark. A new initiative was the construction of a rotundaon the median strip opposite the post office. This rotunda couldfacilitate musical sessions on a Sunday afternoon, be used bylibrary staff for their school groups or other community events. Ifyou would still like to comment, please contact me. Finally, thisbeautification still has to receive funding.REPORTING OF FAULTS OR REQUESTSIf you wish to report something to Council, you have a number ofoptions. The best option is to:• Visit the library and speak to the Customer Service Officer.Other options are to:• Contact me and I will report it for you; or• Phone Council on 5540 5111 and you will be put through to aCouncil officer.Whichever option you choose, please ensure that you are given

a reference number.

The draftSPP was released on April 15, yet a multitudeof guidance material, including those dealingwith agriculture, biodiversity, the coastalenvironment, cultural heritage, air, noise andother emissions, are marked “under development” and so are notavailable for scrutiny or comment. The SPP will have significant indirect and direct impacts onplanning in Queensland. There is only a brief window ofopportunity for public submissions on a complex document whichis essentially incomplete without full access to guidance material.An SPP information session is being held on the Gold Coast onMay 14 (call 1800 600 163 to RSVP); websitewww.dsdip.qld.gov.au.HEALTHY WATERWAYS Healthy Waterways is a non-profit, non-government organisationworking to protect and improve our waterways through four keyprogrammes: science and innovation, an ecosystem healthmonitoring program, water by design, and a communication,education and motivation program.

Tamborine Mountain rainfall for April, 2013

ONApril 1 heavy rain from a low with a thunderstorm was recorded. Thereafterthere was continued instability associated with a big cloud mass offshore. This

brought showers on most days and heavier rain from a trough on the 13th. On the16th there was a trough and thunder and then it all cleared up – our big wet was over.It was succeeded by cool nights, heavy dews (due to back-radiation) and lovely clear,warm days – typical May weather!Fern Street received 155.4mm and the expected rain for April is 82mm and the

average is 131mm. Rainfall for the first four months of the year remained the thirdhighest on record exceeded only in 1974 and 1947.

ANZAC Day has an even deepersignificance for a new generation of

defence force personnel, particularly thosewho have lost colleagues during Australia’soverseas operations.Last year, Major Jason Hayes was a

member of the audience at TamborineMountain State School’s Anzac Daycommemoration, just days before beingdeployed to Afghanistan.This year, he was back as a guest

speaker, with a new perspective on AnzacDay after seven months during which fourfellow soldiers lost their lives.“Anzac Day is a time for all Australians

to reflect on almost 100 years of serviceand sacrifice and to remember those whoare currently serving,” Major Hayes toldhis audience.“More than 3000 Australian Defence

Force members are on operations today,including the Solomon Islands, SouthSudan and many locations across theMiddle East.“As I speak, many of them are preparing

for their dawn services – a time to quietlycontemplate the legacy of those who wentbefore them over the last century and thosewho never returned to their families andfriends.”

Major Hayes said the same values shownby the first Anzacs at Gallipoli almost 100years ago had been carried forward bysubsequent generations of Australianservicemen and women – ‘the importanceof sticking by your mates, overcominggreat adversity and getting the job done’.“I believe Anzac Day continues to draw

large crowds because the community canrelate to the values displayed by ourmilitary, past and present, and because theyrecognise the sacrifices of all involved inwar have underpinned the stable,successful and modern nation that isAustralia today,” he said.The large crowds at Tamborine

Mountain’s dawn service and mid-morningparade and service were among the largestever, according to the RSL.Almost 100 years after the landing at

Anzac Cove, the names of two ofTamborine Mountain’s Gallipoli veterans,Arthur Geissmann and Edmund Jenynswere added to the Honour Roll.For the first time, Tamborine’s Anzac

parade was led by the newly formedmarching band under the baton of BernieKlupfel.

Net-casting Spider – Deinopsis subrufa – Joalah National Park

TIME and again I am in awe of the fact that the creatures I film in the rainforest at nightare going about their business in near total darkness utterly regardless of my presence.

So it is with this spider, poised ready to snare whatever hapless ant, beetle, cricket, evenspider passes unsuspectingly a few centimetres below its net. I have filmed the otherspecies of Net-casting Spider described in my Wildlife of Greater Brisbane, Avelladespiciens, in Palm Grove, also at night. I filmed a much bigger specimen of Deinopsis onan Eagle Heights garage door. The species occurs in eastern Australia and Tasmania.

STBernard State School VolunteerProgram continues to grow in size and

diversity and this year is focusing onhelping students to improve their literacyand numeracy skills.Many of our volunteers have an

association with the school, such as JohnHalpin (above) who previously worked hereas a teacher. John now works as aprofessional storyteller and offers hisservices to local schools free of charge.St Bernard volunteers are a mixture of

male and female parents, caregivers andcommunity members, ranging in age fromearly 20s to late 80s. They enrich ourprogram with life experience and provide alink between our school and community.

We encourage volunteers to first establisha ‘safe place to learn’ with their students, atime when students will be encouraged andtheir efforts acknowledged. For some of ourstudents, this may be the only occasion ineach week when they have the undividedattention of someone to read to, outside oftheir classroom. If you are interested in joining our team,

please contact the school to apply for BlueCard registration for the next trainingprogram on Friday May 24, from 9:15amto11:15am. No formal qualifications arerequired and the techniques to be used willbe provided in the training session.

MAL CUNNINGHAM ATIRELESS INSPIRATIONI cannot let the departure of Mal

Cunningham as conductor of the TMO passwithout comment. I came to the mountain 12 years ago as a

barely passable saxophone player, with asimilarly inadequate knowledge of music,and playing in the orchestra forced me topractise enough to lift my game. I knewvery well that I was never going to be aworld beater, but that orchestra gave me anopportunity for musical expression that Iwould never have found elsewhere.

I fondly remember Mal's virtuosicinterludes in impromptu little sessions atpractice, not to mention his concertperformances as a soloist, and the range oforchestral and big band arrangements that,although mostly familiar to my ears, werenot at first familiar to my fingers. Mal's

obvious discipline and dedication (andmore than a little patience) were and stillare inspiring. Miles Davis was once called

Milestrumpet, because when he played, theinstrument was inseparable from the man.During the five or so years that I playedwith the TMO, Mal was similarly glued tothe orchestra, and kept it going throughthick and thin, managing a passing paradeof mountain musicians, who together underMal's guidance and baton added up to morethan the sum of their parts. No matter where the orchestra goes from

here, it was Mal's mighty influence andmusicianship during his 13 yearguardianship that kept it going, and broughtso much enjoyment to so many people,which will not be easily forgotten, certainlynot by me.

THINKING ABOUT THE PLANET I am writing to respond to the ‘Earth’s

Climate is Forever Changing’ Letter to theEditor (TMN 23 April). As a sciencestudent, I know that the natural biology ofour planet has been able to form because ofa distinct balance. Biology is balance; forexample, the coral in the Great BarrierReef can only photosynthesise in a certaindepth of water, and if the sea level rises toomuch then the coral will die. The percentage of carbon dioxide in our

atmosphere may be small, but that is a partof the balance. Plants depend on carbondioxide to photosynthesise, but that doesnot mean that having an abundance in theatmosphere is a good thing. We cannotcontrol nature; we cannot control volcanoeruptions that emit CO2. What we cancontrol is human behaviour andconsumption which according to amajority of climate scientists is causingglobal warming. I think many myths maybe dispelled if you read the information onthe web page Skeptical Science – gettingskeptical about global warming skepticism,

because many arguments against climatechange have been fabricated on half-truthsand are not science. I personally believe that humans are

contributing to climate change, but I thinkarguing about the topic is distracting thepublic from the biggest environmentalthreat of our time. If environmentalists arecorrect, than climate change is caused byconsumption, pollution, and deforestation.Consumption of finite resources, pollution,and deforestation are already causingenvironmental disasters all over the world.The human race cannot consume at thisrate forever. So why don’t we shift thefocus to the issues that are potentiallycausing climate change, but moreimportantly, doing irrevocable damage aswe speak? Public opinion is an amazinglypowerful thing, and I can only hope thatpeople support environmental initiativesthat will protect the amazing biodiversitythat we have on this planet and also onTamborine Mountain.
