Liberal MP talks up climate change but forgets the 2016 Turnbull election losses

Liberal MP Trent Zimmermans public display of pro-climate "virtue signaling ... serves no purpose whatsoever according to Liberal Party Vice President Teena McQueen. Mr Zimmerman attacked One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts over a climate-related issue and said, human induced climate change poses risks to health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, human security and economic growth. Ms McQueen pointed out 14 Liberal seats had been lost in the 2016 election when former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbulls political platform focused on renewable energy. We cant capture the nationwide vote or an election with these policies, she said. Speaking about climate science, Sky News host Alan Jones said experts estimate current renewable energy sources provide less than one per cent of the world's energy and already require subsides of $129 billion annually. If we abide by the Paris agreement it will cost Australia $52 billion, he said. Image: News Corp Australia Read More Our Apps
