Dear Joe Kaeser
I am writing to urge you to find a way to refuse Siemens' support to the proposed Adani coal mine.
I do appreciate your dilemma regarding contractual obligations, but I am convinced that, given the extreme risks posed by the unleashing of such a vast volume of thermal coal into a world already suffering the effects of climate change, you and your legal team can find way to extricate the company from this untenable position.
I am an Australian, living in an area both devastated and threatened by extreme and terrifying bush fires, exacerbated by escalating pollution from the burning of vast volumes of coal. I am fearful that what I, my family and so many others have experienced during this fire season may become a horrifying "new normal".
Siemens is a company with an enviably high reputation - please don't be responsible for letting this happen!
Thank you.
Margaret Hilder
