Minister Tony Abbott has said he can imagine a future where the world no longer
uses fossil fuels.

That might seem like a major step forward for a leader who
dislikes wind turbines and has cut the renewable energy target, but his vision
has one major caveat: He can only see it once every tonne of coal and every
molecule of gas has been burned.
Abbott expressed this vision while launching the
Agricultural Competitive White Paper in rural Victoria on the weekend, a document
that all but ignored the potential impact of climate change on one of
Australia’s biggest export industries.
