What gets you hot under the collar?

What our supporters think about climate change

In February we asked for your thoughts on climate change. We found out that you Bush Heritage supporters are a passionate bunch!

Some of you railed against our politicians and population growth, a few declared yourselves non-believers and others despair about rising carbon emissions. But all of you support Bush Heritage's work – to protect our land for future generations.

"I'm more interested in saving our flora and fauna and ridding Australia of feral animals – that's why I support you. ‘Climate change' is best avoided – leave it to the politicians, because it is a theory."
Dr Graeme Banks, Chiltern, Vic.

"For the sake of my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, I really hope you can succeed in making a difference."

"I want to believe that ‘the science is clear' as you say in your letter, perverse as it may be. But I fear the communication of that science is anything but clear."
Mark Huntington, Ivanhoe, Vic.

"I'm pleased to see that your organisation is now talking about the relationship between your good work and slowing the tide of climate change."
Kylie Jarrett, Daw Park, SA

"I see Bush Heritage reserves as vital sources of protection for what remains of our ecology and will hopefully enable endangered species to survive."
Trevor McCarron, Bendigo, Vic.

Many thanks to all who contributed. We appreciate knowing a little more about your views and concerns.
