I’m not advocating doing nothing I’m advocating continuing do what we are doing: meeting our Paris Agreement obligations. This is doing much more than most nations.
We ain't meeting them. Scummo is using very dodgy accounting practices using phony "savings" we made under the ETS system to compensate for going over the cap now. Many countries are way ahead of us. What is our government actually doing to reduce emmissions? Abbott's "Direct Action" failed and I haven't seen much from the LNP since.
The Paris Agreement is one thing but it will not save us, far from it. We are still nearly the highest global emitter per capita - and we export coal and LNG which pushes our responsibility even higher.
I’m saying that the radical policies of the left which can potentially destroy our economy with no benefit to the climate whatsoever are poorly thought through and unwarranted.
What are these radical leftist policies you speak of? How will they "destroy" the economy? Smart countries are pushing ahead with changing energy mix and develop better tech, and getting richer by doing so. Are they "left" in the sense they advocate actually doing something rather than saying "it's all too hard, let's do nothing and wait".
That's nihilism. Thinking people whether of a religious or ethical persuasion have a duty of care to our children, and our children's children. Doing the same thing as we are doing won't cut it.
