Paul Hanson denies link between humans and climate change

Paul Hanson denies the theory of the effect of human on environment, he explained that we must not blame our self for the environment changes as the nature also result in the changes in the environment in number of ways like an volcano and bush fire. As during the volcano eruption number of gases are produce from it which are very harmful and the lava from it also polluted the sand and after the lava get dry it decrease the fertility of the sand and recently we see impacts of the bushfire in Australia as it is naturally not a single human involve in it as it effect the animals, land, human and climate also. we can not blame human for this. she also explain about the extension of dinosaurs that’s human has not hanks in that. But Dinosaurs died after a large Meteorite hit the Gulf of Mexico, 65 mil yrs ago, causing the sky to black out for many years I don’t get what that’s got to do with our current climate crisis death of the dinosaurs most likely caused by the impact of a comet or a meteor. on the other hand Climate changes have been part of Earth’s cycles since forever. However, the fact is that scientific data shows that there has been a rapid acceleration in the speed at which that change is happening since the Industrial Revolution. The main reason in giving this statement is to decrease the focus of the people from the environmental topic and this also help in discuss about the new policies of them in the public to gain more popularity in the public. She also explain that in Queensland senator volcanic eruptions and oceans caused more carbon emissions than man-made pollution. When questioned about the impact climate change was having on Queensland, particularly farmers, Ms Hanson said there was no “peer reviewed” scientific research on the topic. Senator Hanson also appeared to suggest the public weren’t being given access to the true figures surrounding climate data, hot on the heels of an LNP Senate candidate who accused the Bureau of Meteorology of the same thing. They haven’t released the true facts and figures as far as temperature changes over the years. the government didn’t want to release a correct figures about climate change impacts on our environment. Gerard Rennick, who is in the Queensland LNP’s winnable third position, last month accused the weather bureau of rewriting weather records to fit in with the agenda of global warming. Jim Chalmers says also say that both parties are being poisoned by crank. That’s very concerning to hear the LNP dance to One Nation’s tune on issues like climate change, which the Australian people want a sensible and responsible plan to deal with,” he told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday. It’s a reminder that it’s very hard to tell where One Nation ends and the LNP begins. The bureau has strongly rejected the allegations, pointing to the nation’s leading statisticians and mathematicians’ support for their methods.

Non-profitable organization

Non-profitable organization (NPO), also known as a non-business entity, not-for-profit organization is an organization dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a shared point of view and in economic terms, it is an organization using its surplus of the revenue to further achieve its ultimate objective, rather than distributing its income to the organization’s shareholders, leaders, or members. Nonprofits are charitable, meaning the they do not pay income tax on the money that they receive for their organization. They can operate in religious, scientific, research, or educational settings. The key aspects of nonprofits are accountability, trustworthiness, honesty, and openness to every person who has invested time, money, and faith into the organization. Nonprofit organizations are accountable to the donors, founders, volunteers, program recipients, and the public community. Public confidence is a factor in the amount of money that a nonprofit organization is able to raise. The more nonprofits focus on their mission, the more public confidence they will have, and as a result, more money for the organization. The activities a nonprofit is partaking in can help build the public’s confidence in nonprofits, as well as how ethical the standards and practices are. In Australia , nonprofit organizations include trade unions, charitable entities, co-operatives, universities and hospitals, mutual societies, grass-root and support groups, political parties, religious groups, incorporated associations, not-for-profit companies, trusts and more. Furthermore, they operate across a multitude of domains and industries, from health, employment, disability and other human services to local sporting clubs, credit unions, and research institutes. A nonprofit organization in Australia can choose from a number of legal forms depending on the needs and activities of the organization: co-operative, company limited by guarantee, unincorporated association, incorporated association (by the Associations Incorporation Act 1985) or incorporated association or council (by the Commonwealth Aboriginal Councils and Associations Act 1976). From an academic perspective, for the most part, considered a sub-set of the nonprofit sector as typically they too are concerned with a purpose relating to a public good. However, these are not bound to adhere to a nonprofit legal structure, and many incorporate and operate as for-profit entities.

The Australian Red Cross is a aid and community services charity in Australia and auxiliary to government. Tracing its history back to 1923 and being incorporated by royal charter in 1941, the Australian Red Cross Society is the Australian National Society of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The Australian Red Cross is guided by the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and as such is a secular, neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian organisation. The Australian Red Cross provides a range of services and programmes including international aid across the Asia-Pacific region, international humanitarian law advocacy, migration support, emergency management, blood donation via the Australia Red Cross Blood, and community service for youth, families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. His Excellency is the Patron of the Australian Red Cross Society and a non-voting member of the National Council. The National Council is the peak governance decision-making body and is made up of 53 voting members including the President and the National Board. The National Council delegates operational and management decisions and other responsibilities to the National Board and the CEO. on the other hand other services like World Vision, Salvation Army, Compassion Australia, Australia Conservation Foundation and Kidsafe also an non-profitable organization work for the welfare of the Australia and these organization work according to the government rule. during the recent bush fire these organization work very efficacy and help number people during this situation and these organization also allow common people help them by donating a small amount of money and I also donate 100$ with the help of the Red Cross to help them.

Public Relation internal communication

Public Relation is defined as a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics. when it comes to internal PR, the “public” is an organization’s employees or board members. While PR typically involves mass media, internal PR does not. And while it may be overlooked, internal PR should be an important part of any organization’s communication strategy.

When internal PR matters most

• Major changes. Don’t let your employees find out major company news via the media first. Have a plan for how to communicate news, such as leadership changes and mergers, prior to, or in correlation with, communicating with the media.

• Successes and recognition. Your internal PR program should build morale. Create programs that recognize the organization’s successes and milestones as well as recognize individual employees for major accomplishments or years of service.

• Administrative reminders. From HR and IT and everything in between, professionals get a deluge of emails with reminders and duties outside of their normal work tasks. While PR doesn’t have to control all of these administrative reminders, it should be working with these departments to ensure tools and systems are in place for communicating.

How to do internal PR right

• See it as two-way communication. Internal audiences want to be heard. Your communications programs should provide ways for the audience to submit questions or feedback. When you get questions and feedback, listen to it and pass it on to the appropriate people for action or response. 

• Tailor your message. If company news needs to be distributed to internal and external audiences, your approach for disseminating the news should vary. For instance, don’t send staff the news release you sent the media. Instead, send them an email that speaks specifically to them and addresses how the news affects them.

• Prioritize it. Consider your internal audience with every piece of communication the PR team deals with. That doesn’t mean internal audiences need to receive updates for every announcement; just don’t forget about them.

• Establish a hub. “I think I remember seeing something about that, but I deleted the email.” Sound familiar? Don’t rely on email to be the only means of internal PR. By having an intranet or online internal web portal, you can recap important messages and provide key resources for employees.
• Diversity in workplace
• Regardless, internal communications will include traditional public relations activities such as research, construction of messages, selection of media channels and evaluation for internal stakeholders, as well as the more contemporary involvement in organisational processes, such as culture change and values development.
• The advancement in new media technology, globalisation and an increasingly diverse workforce are major factors in organisational change and the increased interest in internal communication. Employees from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds as well as different generational groups populate the contemporary businesses. Cultural and generational diversity in the workplace are seen as key issues for workplaces around the world. As a response, public relations practitioners are starting to develop programs addressing diversity

How Technology change communication

The process of human communication has evolved over the years, with many path-breaking inventions and discoveries heralding revolutions or a lift from one level to another. This article will discuss how technology has changed communication – mostly for the better.

1. The invention of pictographs or the first written communication in the ancient world gave us written communication. These writings were on stone and remained immobile.
2. The invention of paper, papyrus, and wax, culminating in the invention of printing machine in the 15th century, made possible transfer of documents from one place to another, allowing for uniformity of languages over long distances.
3. The latest revolution is the widespread application of electronic technology such as electronic waves and signals to communication, manifesting in the electronic creation and transfer of documents over the World Wide Web.

Speed and Costs

The most significant impact of technology on communication is the spread of the Internet and the possibility of sending emails and chatting. In the pre-information technology days, a document often required re-typing on the typewriter before the final version. Sending the letter across a distance to someone else required a visit to the post office and a postage stamp. Faster methods such as telegrams had severe limitations in text and were quite costly. Computers and the Internet have made the process of creating and editing documents and applying features such as spell check and grammar check automatically easy and natural. Email allow us to send document to all over globe within seconds, making telegrams and even ordinary letters mostly obsolete. The Internet has thus increased the speed of communications manifold, and reduced the costs drastically.

Quality

The huge amount of knowledge accessible by a click of the mouse has helped improve the quality of communication. familiar language, seeking out the meaning of an unknown word, and getting follow up information on an unfamiliar concept are all possible thanks to the internet.

Technology allows easy storage and retrieval of communication when needed, especially verbal communication, the storage of which was very difficult before. It now becomes easier to rewind and clear misconceptions rather than make assumptions, or contacting the person again to clear doubt.

Change in Style

The invention of new gadgets such as mobile phones made communication easier by allowing people to communicate from anywhere. An underestimated impact of mobile gadgets is the effect they have on the nature of communication.

• The possibility of high quality communication from anywhere in the world to anywhere else at low costs has led to a marked decline in face-to-face communications and to an increased reliance on verbal and written communication over electronic mediums. The small keyboards on mobile phones and other hand-held devices that make typing difficult has resulted in a radical shortening of words and increasing use of symbol and shortcuts, with little or no adherence to traditional grammatical rules. Such change now finds increasing acceptance in the business community.
• Communication has become concise and short, and the adage “brevity is the soul of wit” finds widespread implementation, though unintentionally.

Accessibility

The answer to the question of how technology has changed communication is incomplete without a mention of technology’s role in the democratization of communication systems. Technology has brought down the costs of communication significantly and improved people’s access.

Nature of Communication

The ease of communication and the spread of interactive communication methods such as instant messengers and video conferencing have increased the volume of communications but reduced their average length. People now communicate whatever comes up instantly, and tend to break up different topics into different communications.
