Congratulations Tony

  It’s been embarrassment after embarrassment for Australia at the Warsaw climate change meeting.

"Australia was awarded Fossil of the Day on the summit’s first day. The award is given by the international Climate Action Network to the country which has done the most to block progress at the climate change negotiations on that day.

Australia also topped the Fossil of the Day Awards on Wednesday beating out Turkey. This one was for seeking to repeal the carbon price (hence “hurling Australia back into the abyss of time”, as opposed to the more than 40 countries, states and provinces who have moved into the modern times with a carbon price) and also stripping $435 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and removing $10 billion of investment in clean energy."

Former UN Climate Chief, Yvo de Boer, upbraided Australia for its failure to send a Minister."

The PEOPLE of Australia voted for Abbott to get rid of the carbon tax and all that goes with it. He won with a thumping majority. The left and greens LOST and lost badly yet you and the left seem to think that you should still push your agendas onto the majority of Australia.  

YOU LOST get used to it as the MAJORITY of Australia is happy and voted the extreme labor/left/greens out and DONT care about this useless talkfest.... 

--------------------------------------

Seems Tony Abbott is actually far from alone in not sending a minister to the UN’s latest talkfest in global warming. From The Guardian:

Warsaw climate talks: nearly 3 in 10 countries not sending ministers

…

According to statistics released by the UN, over 10,000 people will spend the next two weeks swarming through its corridors, busily going about their business of trying to find a solution to climate change.

But only 134 of these will be ministers, in spite of the fact that there will be 189 countries attending the conference…

The number of ministers registered to attend does not always reflect the final head count, with the potential for attendees to drop out at the last minute.

But who cares if the conferences grow increasingly useless. Free travel! Moral grandstanding!

But in spite of the overall poor ministerial attendance, the number of participants at this conference has increased from last year—precisely 10,106 are registered to attend, compared to the 9004 who turned up last year in Doha.

That figures. Warsaw is nicer than Doha.

I didn't say he was good, I said he was great, a great big LIAR, when is he going to stop those boats nero?

[**meep**]

Oh wow!  An award given by Avaaz, how prestigious.  Who won last year?

The myopic and hyperventilating LOSING LEFT seem to forget this and I did mention this a week ago when the left on here embarrassed themselves yet again with their lack of research truth and facts. 

Greg Combet, the relevant Minister at the time, chose not to attend Doha

How embarrassing  not mention that little fact and only make it about their hate of Abbott....... The left are getting more and more embarrassing  as each day passes... 

From  http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/mps-skip-climate-meetings-in-doha-20121120-29o1g.ht...

FOR THE first time in several years Australia will not be represented by a minister at a major round of international climate change negotiations, with Greg Combet set to miss talks in Doha starting next week.

Mr Combet said he was not attending because after a long year bedding down Australia's carbon price he would be spending some time working on issues in his manufacturing portfolio.

''I am going to spend a bit of time on my other portfolio area. We are able to do that because we have carbon price implemented, European Union emissions trading scheme linking agreed, and Kyoto protocol second commitment period all done,'' he said.

 Combet didn't go because he'd already been part of a government who had done the right thing.he sent representaives. at that point we were ahead of the game you see. Hunt isn't going mainly to avoid his complete turnabout from his masters thesis on carbon trading. it would be embarrassing turning up to an event were everyone knows you've sold out for the sake of power.
