| Malcolm Turnbull - warnings of a "catastrophic future". |
Mr Turnbull warned of a "catastrophic" future if Australia and other countries did not move to net zero greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, throwing more weight behind a 2050 deadline for target.
In a blunt speech to the Informa conference of energy executives, he fired a series of warning shots at Prime Minister Scott Morrison by warning the "bubble" debate in Canberra put the country in danger from inaction on climate change.
"We've got to stop this false debate, this misleading debate about whether getting to net zero emissions by 2050 ... is something that's optional," he said in Sydney on Tuesday.
