Vote Climate releases 2010 election policy analysis
On August 4, Vote Climate announced a website upgrade, including detailed analysis and comparison of climate policies on offer for the 2010 federal election.
"The world's first dedicated climate election website, established by Adrian Whitehead in 2006, Vote Climate seeks to provide voters with detailed policy analysis and voting recommendations relating to climate change. Our analysis is based on available policy as the primary source, and as a secondary source, public documents and public statements."
The site ranks parties based on whether it has "any chance of reversing global warming and thus prevent a run away climate change event." It gives a big tick to Socialist Alliance (for "policies that might stop runaway climate change and adopt a climate emergency"), and encouragement to the Greens and Democrats ("for policies that won't stop runaway climate change but have numerous positive elements that will help the adoption of a stronger response down the track").
It gives Labor and Liberal thumbs down for policies that "take only limted action which will not stop global warming reaching dangerous levels quickly", and worst ratings to Family First, Christian Democratic Party and Climate Sceptics for policies that "seek to delay action or deny there is a problem."
