A series of presentations about climate change
that will tour New South Wales in the lead up to
the state election will begin in Coffs Harbour tonight.

The presentations have been put together by the
Rainforest Information Centre in Lismore to try
to raise awareness of climate change and start
political action and campaigning at a local level.

The Rainforest Information Centre's John Seed
says actor Jack Thompson will introduce the event at the Jetty Theatre.

He says political parties are putting up
"smokescreens" to distract Australians from the
amount of carbon being pumped into the atmosphere.
