I partially agree.
The problem is that the issue of climate change is complex and politically has become too polarising.
Based on my understanding of the science of climate change we can expect greater climate extremes which, when applied to Australian conditions, translates to more extremes droughts, fires and floods. This in turn will have a profound impact on our food security and economy.
Whilst I am 100% behind renewable energy, electric cars and subsidies for renewable energy, it is only part of a broader suite of issues that need to addressed.
