Abbott stands on a lonely isthmus of climate change denial

Australia’s Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, has enjoyed strong support during his time at PM from conservative governments in both the UK and Canada.

Times, however, it seems are changing faster than our PM Chameleon can change his colours and now he stands on a lonely isthmus of climate change denial with both the Conservative Governments of UK and Canada quite different views.

Canada, who had stood with Abbott and his climate denial coalition, has now indicated its support for a United Nations climate fund to assist poor nations to cope with global warming; something Mr Abbott had rejected describing it as "socialism masquerading as environmentalism".

The Sydney Morning Herald discusses that in a story headed: “Red faces for Tony Abbott on Green Climate Fund”.

Along with that, the British conservative government has indicated its seriousness about tackling climate change, as reported in an Age story headed: “Why Britain's Tories are Earth's best friends”.
