"For a country like Australia or the United States, there needs to be 90 per cent or greater emission reductions by 2050, and 20 per cent or 30 per cent emission reductions by 2020." - Prof David Karoly

Climate change has been
Climate change has been exacerbated by a poorly designed built environment. Where once solar passive design was used to keep a house cool in summer and warm in winter, today, we rely on artificial heating and cooling to maintain comfortable temperatures inside our homes. The result has been increased demand for energy and an increase in Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.
