So much for keeping Climate Change off the G20 Agenda....what a monumental Abbott fail!!!! Abbott has just been asked whether Australia will commit to new carbon emissions targets ahead of next year’s Paris conference, and whether Australia will contribute anything to the Green Climate Fund, something which the PM has previously derided as a “Bob Brown Bank”. He replied: “Australia has always believed that climate change is real and humanity makes a contribution and strong and effective action against it should be taken.” “This government has just passed through the parliament to put into effect our emissions reduction fund ... We’re not just talking about taking action against climate change, we’re cracking on with the job,” he says. “Australia is a high performer on actually delivering on real action,” he says. “We’ll be making further decisions at the right time and what we want to do is take effective action against climate change which is consistent with continued strong economic growth, continues jobs growth, and continues development,” he says.
