Who cares, most normal Aussies dont and are totally fed up with the never ending dummy spit from the left.

YOU lost the election, the carbon tax was tossed out.

Get over it

The Abbott government has been accused of setting impossible requirements for Australia’s participation in any global climate change agreement clinched in Paris next year by insisting it must include legally binding emissions targets.

why are she and her chaperone going instead of Greg Hunt?

Really, what are the criteria?

Did those chinese mining companies that are ripping up valuable farming land have an impact?

Then there's this bit.

"Six out of 10 of Australians think Tony Abbott's Direct Action policy has left the country with an inadequate policy response to the problem of global warming, according to the latest Fairfax Ipsos poll."

what comes after embarrassing? still the tide is turning despite what the rabid right screeches in it's desperation to preserve some shred of credibility

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/dec/08/solar-wind-energy-sources-huge-majority-australians-poll-shows

Solar and wind energy backed by huge majority of Australians, poll shows

Solar and wind energy enjoy strong support from the Australian public, with 80% of people putting them both among their top three energy choices in a poll for the Australia Institute.

By contrast, coal and coal seam gas were chosen by 35% and 38% of those polled as being among the best three future energy sources.

A separate review of medical literature by the Australia Institute debunked the fear that wind power damaged people’s health, finding “no credible evidence” directly linking exposure to turbines with negative health effects.

Agree, who cares apart from the left.

Greens - care for the environment - ban this, ban that, no development, until that is they want to bulldoze tracks on pristine hillsides to put up wind power that only works 20% of the time and STILL needs major power stations to provide normal power.

IF when emissions and the environment the Greens had not been so anti nuclear, we would have a heap of cheap power produced by nuclear fuel that we already own, just have to dig it out of the ground and refine it, with NO emissions.

But their short sighted anti nuclear stance cost the environment in the long run.

They could have got rid of most of the coal power stations IF they had allowed Nuclear to be built 20 years ago.

Nuclear energy?

History has proven that no matter the 'alternative' energy promoted.....the oil-sters and their maaaaates buck up and steer the decision makers away.......... all about their bank accounts.

They don't give a toss about anything else

wilk1149 — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 23:09:40 GMT

I'm not happy to have nuclear power in this country but as you are they can build it next to your home not mine. Seems reasonable to me as you are so happy to have it here

Umm. there is another election in just under two years time... the present Govt has to perform satisfactoryily if they expect to win the next election..... nothing to do with the last Govt nor carbon tax now.....

You were a fan of posting poll results leading up to the last election. Abbott personally has consistently, the worst poll results for a new PM in over 20 years.

debra: why are she and her chaperone going instead of Greg Hunt?

Julie B insisted she went, even though the PM's office didn't want to send anyone. Her chaperone was selected by Abbott as he is a climate change skeptic.

Abbott working in the interests of this country (and globally on the climate change issue)?... no way.
