iles Parkinson and
Sophie Vorrath have written on RenewEconomy about the “10 things we learned …about Abbott’s contempt for climate”.
“April has been an extraordinary month for climate and clean
energy policy in Australia. Even more extraordinary than the previous months.
As the rest of the world accelerates their individual and collective push
towards globally agreed climate targets, Australia is stubbornly refusing to
budge, or even to acknowledge that there is an issue at all.
“In the Orwellian world of the Abbott government, coal is
good and has a great future, even when analysts call for nearly all reserves to
be left in the ground; a cut in the renewable energy target is not a cut at
all, it is actually an increase; and spending one-quarter of its carbon budget
on just 15 per cent of its target is not so much a failure as a resounding
success and a blueprint for the world to follow,” they write.
