Not in my opinion.
Why do you think it is pathetic and embarrassing? I mean apart from your personal biases.

How about using Wikipedia as his reference for climate change information? You don't get much dumber than that.

OK?

OK.

My two bobs worth is Hunt knows they be cutting back on Coal burning, which is the last thing Coal in the ition wants Hunt to have anything to do with. Hunt is terrified of being seen wanting for Coal to stop Coal dumping Carbon dumping into the air we breath.

Question. Now that John Howard has admitted he and Greg Hunt backed an ETS for no more than political expediency. Will Tony Abbott admit that he and Greg Hunt are against an ETS for no other reason than political expediency?

We keep exporting coal, so if we're seen to condemn it - we're going to look like hypocrites. However we're going to fall behind the rest of the world if we don't embrace an ETS sooner rather than later. Most modern countries are trying to reduce their emissions, but not us. We're going to be the world's biggest quarry and stuff climate change. This is why the Liberals are known as regressive.

I think you're onto something there Das. Abbott has a large redneck supporter base and on principle they're denialists.

Climate change is real.

Invest in carbon sinks, renewable energy and global control system companies. Pick the one's where silly governments will tax the punters to fund initiatives... your on a winner.

Mitigation is the key. Adaption alone will be a long term loser.

:c

Politics is more about appearing to do something than doing something.

Well that is apparently a lie.
He said he was referencing it to see what the latest in "public"' opinion and net update was.
Where else would be a good start for that then? Hmmmm... Good place for a general reference.
you shouldn't knock him, after all... he is a true believer. :roll:

No because Greg Hunt is an AGW true believer.
