United States Secretary of State John Kerry on the latest United Nations report on climate change action:
“We’ve already had wake-up call after wake-up call about climate science. This report is a wake-up call about global economic opportunity we can seize today as we lead on climate change …
“We already know that climate science is unambiguous and that every year the world defers action, the costs only grow. But focusing only on grim realities misses promising realities staring us right in the face. This report makes very clear we face an issue of global willpower, not capacity.”
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on the latest United Nations report on climate change action:
*crickets*
Abbott is only interested in saving money now not in the future. A statesman would consider the consequences of climate change in the long term.
Irrefutable proof that Abbott is a mere politician without a sliver of vision or statesmanship in his DNA.
Eerie silence, save for the redolent echoes of Keating’s reference to Mahatir’s recalcitrance?
Let’s put a new spin on denialism, that is, that denialists are really just failed capitalists. A good capitalist is an entrepreneur, and entrepreneurs are early adopters. Ergo…Failed Capitalist! Those companies that have moved on this are already reaping the rewards and deservedly so.
Abbott hand his cronies are just failures!
That’s Abbott and….
