Barnaby Joyce, Craig Kelly, Angus Taylor and a handful of other fossil fuel shills who wouldn’t be able to name the president of their local CWA have today launched a new campaign of hysterical climate denialism, triggered by Labor’s decision last week to sign up to a net zero target by 2050.
Craig Kelly, Liberal MP and failed furniture salesman from that electorate below the Prime Minister’s has warned that acting on climate change was an “economic suicide note”.
“I’ve never heard of so much bullshit in my life” said another renowned scientific authority in the shape of mid-coast Queensland backbencher, Ken O’Dowd, whose key to remaining elected is promising his electorate a return to the steady stream of financed Maloos and jet skis that they were playing with during the mining boom in 2009.
More than 70 countries and 398 cities say they have adopted a net zero position. Every Australian state has signed up to net zero emissions by 2050, and these commitments are expressed either as targets or aspirational goals.
Another politician from the Northern Territory Country Liberals, whatever that is, has also criticised this ‘expensive’ move towards renewables.
An equally fired up Barnaby Joyce has said this policy is a result of Labor thinking ‘everyone lives in Balmain’ – which is an inner-city Sydney suburb located roughly 900 metres from the elite inner-city Sydney boarding school he attended before he decided he wanted to spread anti-climate-science rhetoric through the two houses of Federal Parliament he was illegally elected to while holding a dual-citizenship and pretending to be a Queenslander.
He believes it will be far too expensive, and we should just continue as is, where our country lights on fire every September due to unprecedented drought and the increasingly hot summers caused by climate change.
Scotty From Marketing is yet to comment on the Labor targets, but given the fact that he brought a piece of coal in Parliament less than three years ago, it is unlikely he will be seen to back pedal on his previous uninformed opinions regarding modern science.
The fact he hasn’t told anyone to calm down or stop being needlessly anxious about this issue also means he has no fucking idea what to do.
It is not yet known how Labor will break the news to the CFMEU, whose members are currently driving around Clermont with START ADANI stickers on the back of their work vehicles.
