 * Common misconceptions:**
 * Only human's produce greenhouse gases.
 * Carbon dioxide is the gas that contributes the most to the Greenhouse Effect.
 * It won't matter if we postpone our action on climate change.
 * A lot of scientists question the validity of the human induced climate change.
 * Renewable energy isn't efficient enough to power Australia.


 * Interesting facts:**
 * Without an atmosphere/greenhouse gases, day-time temperatures would be around 100 C and night-time temperatures would be lower than -150 C. The average temperature on Earth would drop from 16 C to -18 C**.**
 * Water vapour contributes more to the Greenhouse Effect than any other gas.
 * Postponing any meaningful mitigation action comes with considerable risk, because many changes in climate are not reversible on human timescales. Additionally, the longer action is postponed, the harder it will be to ensure temperatures don't rise to catastrophic levels.
 * The vast majority of scientists agree that the increase in carbon dioxide emissions and subsequent warming in the last 200 years is due to human activity.
 * The ZCA2020 Stationary Energy Plan outlines a fully costed and detailed blueprint for transforming Australia’s energy sources to 100% renewable supply. This is achievable using technology that is commercially available today, with no technical barriers to their deployment. Implementing the proposed infrastructure in ten years is well within the capability of Australia’s existing industrial capacity. The required investment is the equivalent of a stimulus to the economy of 3% of GDP
