Morrison ‘is a prime minister in denial’ over climate change

It will be harder to combat dangerous climate change unless the government is prepared to change "business as usual" according to Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has disputed claims that there is a link between Australia's greenhouse gas emissions and the devastating bushfires ravaging large parts of the country. Climate change is a global phenomenon and were doing our bit as part of the response to climate change were taking action on climate change, Mr Morrison said. Senator Hanson-Young said Mr Morrison's comments demonstrate he is a "prime minister in denial". "The cruel and harsh reality is that pollution is rising and with that comes worse climate change and worse conditions." "The more [Morrison] denies, the more he digs in, the harder it is going to get." just square brackets and full stops on the inside for full quotes Read More Our Apps
