History illustrates contrary views on climate change


Former PM, John Howard.
Dave Glover, a Beneath the Wisteria supporter, has unearthed something from recent history that suggests that Australia’s present Coalition Government has views contrary to those of former PM, John Howard.

A story in the 2006 Sydney Morning Herald headed: “PM’s southerly change: expect extreme weather” tells how Mr Howard embraced a key climate change forecast, warning Australian to prepare for more extreme events such as the current bushfires.

Mr Howard was in north-east Tasmania looking at damage caused by bushfires that has arrived unusually early.
