Tony Abbott, former prime minister of Australia, expressed his disbelief in human-driven climate change at a right-wing conference. He stated that the idea of anthropogenic global warming is both ahistorical and implausible.
Former prime minister Tony Abbott has told a right-wing conference he had never believed in human-driven climate change as he vowed the “climate cult” would one day be defeated.
Abbott, who was appointed to the board of Fox Corporation in late September as soon as Lachlan Murdoch took over from his father Rupert Murdoch as sole chairman, said he would point to the Medieval warm period and the Little Ice Age as further examples that climate had “nothing to do with mankind’s emissions”.“So I think it is worth stating that the anthropogenic global warming thesis, at least in its more extreme forms is both ahistorical and utterly implausible.
Abbott was applauded by supporters in the room when he said: “The climate cult will inevitably be discredited, I just hope we don’t have to endure an energy catastrophe before that happens.” He said Australian voters were not given this choice at the last election because both sides had signed up to net zero by 2050.Contacted for a response, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen said: “Tony Abbott and his ilk are responsible for a decade of catastrophic climate policy.
