Abbott’s answer to climate change: ERF – Crikey
A critical look at Tony Abbott's plan you have for reducing CO2 emissions when you don't believe there is a need for reducing CO2 emissions.
I heard Abbott on the local radio this afternoon, claiming again that the "crap" comment about AGW was a "rhetorical flourish", and in fact he believes that (to paraphrase closely) something probably is going on with the climate, and it is prudent to take steps to reduce CO2.
Well, I will wait for the criticism of Andrew Bolt and Tim Blair to begin then. They wanted a disbeliever in AGW to lead the Coalition, but they didn't get it. (Or so he says. It depends on what day you ask him, and who he is talking to.)
If Bolt is to be consistent, he should be ridiculing Abbott 'til the election for daring to spend a cent on CO2 reduction.
I dunno about Blair/Bolta Steve,
ReplyDeleteI think most of we denialists know we won't get the "perfect" candidate and almost anything would be better than travelling in lock-step with the govt, as was Malcom Turnbull (who've I've met and struck me as a really nice guy).
And Bolta is ridiculing Abbott for spending money on it. Go to his page today. It's on there somewhere.
Yeah I saw Bolt did criticise him, partly on the the grounds that we can't believe Abbott when he now says he doesn't believe it is "crap". So Bolt agrees with Labor on that. :)
