We're at the beginning of a new era in the treatment of climate change issues

Today sees the release of the new Climate Change Commission's first draft advice to the Government.

The Commission is intended to be an independent arm of government, focussing its attention on scientific evidence and how to respond.

Greenpeace says whatever comes from the Commission today won't change the basic facts, which have been the same for 30 years.

Campaigner Steve Abel says we need to change farming, and switch to clean energy sources.
