It’s hard ‘to scare people about climate change when they’re faced with a deadly virus’

Sky News host Peta Credlin says if anything good has come out of the deadly coronavirus pandemic, it is the "sudden and almost complete absence of bleating about climate change". I suppose it's hard to scare people about a possible crisis, in a few decades time, when you've got a real one on your hands that's killing people now, she said. Mr Credlin said Opposition leader Anthony Albanese couldnt help himself to inquire why the Morrison government would take the advice of scientists on COVID-19 but not on climate change. Seemingly, ingrained bad habits can't be suppressed for long, Ms Credlin said. It would be a lot easier for government to respect the science on climate change, if the scientists themselves stopped demonising each other and accepted that scepticism and doubt are always part and parcel of good science, even on climate. So, my advice to Anthony Albanese, is to stop obsessing with the inner city activists, most of whom are on the public payroll and insulated. Image: Getty Read More Our Apps
