Speaking in London, Abbott criticises the ‘emissions obsession’ of a ‘climate cult that will eventually be discredited’
has claimed some warnings of human-induced climate change are “ahistorical and utterly implausible”, criticising what he called “the climate cult” in a speech in London.
“And I think that needs to be repeated. Ladies and gentlemen, the climate cult will eventually be discredited.”, with 20 of the 35 planetary vital signs at record extremes, including July being probably the hottest the planet has been in 100,000 years. “Then I would invariably add this rider but not at the expense of jobs, at the expense of ordinary people’s cost of living, and with the effect of driving important industries offshore to countries that don’t take emissions as seriously as we do,” he said.
“I have to say that on every occasion in Australia where energy policy and climate policy has been a big election focus, it’s the people who have been on the sceptical end of the spectrum who have done well. On every occasion when the Australian public have been asked to choose between reducing emissions and protecting their cost of living, they’ve put their cost of living first.”
