Australia and Canada dscribed by Le Monde as 'climate dunces'

The influential Parisian newspaper has described 
Australia and Canada as 'climate dunces'.

PARIS: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull may have convinced himself that the climate policy he is taking to Paris is “ambitious” and “credible”, but he has got a lot of work to do to convince others.

Turnbull has been openly courting ideas to support a zero carbon world – confirming a position from the delegation team revealed by RenewEconomy two weeks ago – but the lack of actual policy detail that supports such claims – and the disconnect between talk and action – is leaving others highly sceptical.

So much so that Australia and Canada were branded “climate dunces” by the influential Le Monde newspaper in a 20-page special published on Saturday, on the eve of the climate talks in Paris.
