Hanson ‘not convinced’ by ‘fanatics’ linking bushfires to climate change
One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson says she is "not convinced" by "fanatics" who are linking the bushfire crisis to man-made climate change. Our climate is changing, I dont deny that, but is it man-made is another question that we need to ask, she said. Theyre telling us that the earths temperature is going to increase by two or three per cent in the next 100 years, but wheres your proof? They cant even get it right when they tell me its going to rain on my property. If they cant even get it right day to day, how are they going to predict it 50 or 100 years down the track, sorry but it doesnt wash with me or a lot of Australians. So lets stop destroying businesses and peoples way of living across Australia [in the name of climate change]. Senator Hanson also criticised the governments response to the bushfire crisis, saying its initial $2 billion pledge was not enough. It irritates people to think that were giving so much money, billions of dollars to overseas countries to help them and not putting that own amount back into our own country, she said. We must look after our own, clean up our own backyard first. Image: News Corp Australia Read More Our Apps
