Bummer: Australia’s New Deputy PM Will Put A Spike In The Climate Crisis (scam) Agenda

Australia has long been an interesting country to watch when it comes to the climate crisis scam. Voters say they want action, but, when it comes to actual elections and doing something, the voters will turn around and reject that. Remember, the 2012 Queensland elections were so bad for the party that implemented all sorts of climate crazy rules that they ended up losing so many members that they were no longer considered a recognized party

Australia’s new deputy PM casts shadow over 2050 net zero emissions ambition

A climate change sceptic will be Australia’s new deputy prime minister after a leadership revolt in the coalition government’s minor party, making it harder for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to achieve a commitment of zero net emissions by 2050.

Australia’s reliance on coal-fired power makes it one of the world’s largest carbon emitters per capita, but its conservative government has steadfastly backed the country’s fossil fuel industries, arguing tougher action on emissions would cost jobs.

Morrison in recent months has been softening his position saying Australia wants to achieve net zero emissions as soon as possible, “preferably” by 2050, but that technology must lead the way not political targets.

Climate change sceptic Barnaby Joyce, who was deputy prime minister from 2016 to 2018 but resigned after an extramarital affair with a former staffer, won a National party leadership vote on Monday defeating incumbent Michael McCormack.

By convention, the leader of the rural-based National party becomes deputy prime minister in a Liberal-National government.

Morrison was trying to take a soft approach, rather than the tax the heck out of people and limit their freedom and choice agenda from most Warmists in power. Joyce will be a massive roadblock to even that soft approach if it encroaches on freedom and choice.

Joyce’s assent is likely to derail Morrison’s hope of strengthening Australia’s climate targets amid a concerted push by U.S. President Joe Biden for countries to commit to a pledge of zero net emission by 2050.

“Barnaby Joyce has made it known that he wants the National party to be independent and there won’t be any room for compromise on net zero by 2050,” said Haydon Manning, a political science professor at Flinders University in South Australia.

And well he should take that agenda, because ‘climate change’ is pretty much a scam. Seriously, Warmists are so unhinged that they’re fine with destroying the environment for their cult

Green groups fume as Canberra rejects world’s biggest renewables project

Canberra has rejected an application to build the world’s biggest renewable energy project in an Australian desert, infuriating groups hoping the government would take a more aggressive stance against climate change.

The government warned that the A$50bn green hydrogen export project threatened sensitive wetland areas and migratory bird species.

The decision represents a U-turn by Canberra, which last year supported fast tracking construction of the Asian Renewable Energy Hub on a 6,500 sq km site in a remote region in Western Australia.

“The minister concluded that the proposal would have unacceptable impacts on matters of national environmental significance,” said a spokesman for Sussan Ley, Australia’s minister for environment, on Monday.

The green groups would rather have solar and wind farms than protect the wetlands and birds. Especially since they are far away from the big cities where the climate cultists live so they don’t have to look at the blight on the land.
