UN official 'talking out of her hat' on bushfires and climate change, says Tony Abbott
UN official 'talking out of her hat' on bushfires and climate change, says Tony Abbott
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has dismissed the comments of a senior UN official who said there was a clear link between bushfires and climate change, arguing ''fire is a part of the Australian experience''.
In an interview with CNN, the head of the UN's climate change negotiations, Christiana Figueres, said on Monday that there was a clear link between climate change and bushfires such as those raging in New South Wales.
Ms Figueres also warned that the Coalition government would pay a high political and financial price for its decision to scrap carbon pricing.
The Coalition Conservative govt was elected to get rid of the stupid carbon tax!
It will pay a high political price if if doesn't.
For Ms Figueres' benefit;
The iconic poem, 'My Country' written in 1904, 3 years after Australia became a nation.
