Especially Liberals who said people changed the climate. The June 2017 headlines proclaimed in unison (as usual) that the US is the only country which pulled out of the Paris accord.

Tony Abbott urges withdrawal from Paris agreement, despite signing Australia up as PM
Tony Abbott, the prime minister who signed Australia up to the Paris agreement before losing the Liberal party leadership in 2015, now says Australia needs to pull out of the treaty to end “the emissions obsession that’s at the heart of our power crisis”.
“As long as we remain in the Paris agreement – which is about reducing emissions, not building prosperity – all policy touching on emissions will be about their reduction, not our well-being.
“It’s the emissions obsession that’s at the heart of our power crisis and it’s this that has to end for our problems to ease.”

Turnbull’s leadership was under serious threat when MPs and senators flew into Canberra last night. The Coalition held an emergency meeting on energy policy.
Turnbull’s response? A capitulation. On Monday morning, he used a press conference to announce huge changes to the Neg. There would be no inclusion of an emissions reduction target, either through regulation or legislation. “Now, in politics you have to focus on what you can deliver and that’s what we’ve done and we’ll continue to do,” he said. The changes to the Neg were made without Labor having formed a position.
Fellow “rebel” George Christensen took a similar line: “We have a new energy policy thanks to a band of ‘Liberal National rebels’ who stood firm and fought for common sense.”
