Yes, Arthur Sinodinos was on Radio National this morning sounding very (for a Liberal) pro climate change action - talking a lot about the inevitability of the electricity generation system making a big transition, and how the Coalition will have to deal with that and take up opportunities it presents, etc.
Is it possible that the moderates have truly got the upper hand in the party all due to the symbolism of the defeat of Abbott? It's a little hard to believe.
I think the problem might simply shift from "we don't know if it's real or not" to "of course it's real but we have to be economically sensible about this" (which was the other half of the Abbott formulation for relative inaction.)
But we shall see.
Frank Jotzo says similar things to Arthur in The Guardian this morning.

Arthur is indeed a good bloke.
Morrison wil face [problems with any rational climate policy given the dinosaur faction in the liberals.
Renewables are the future given the costs and how they are still falling. The ALP would have facilitated them, the government cannot.
