Climate Council raises $1m through itObama-style fundraising drive | Environment | theguardian.com

The climate change expert Professor Tim Flannery's "Obama-style" campaign to raise cash for a new Climate Council has generated $1m.

Flannery was sacked as head of the federal government's Climate Commission when the prime minister, Tony Abbott, announced he was abolishing the body to save money.

It was set up two years ago by the former Labor government to increase public awareness of climate change science.

The commission once had $1.6m in annual taxpayer funding at its disposal but the new council is relying entirely on donations generated through an "Obama-style" online fundraising drive.
