Russell Broadbent here, your Federal Member for Monash.
Recently, the Minister for Energy and Climate Change, Chris Bowen, said that the climate debate is settled, and that their science can’t be questioned.
This should be a huge red flag to Australians, we know better than letting Governments be the single source of truth.
An obsession over carbon emissions alone, is not going to improve our stewardship of the Earth.
In fact, Australia is completely insignificant as a carbon emitter compared to global counterparts like China.
Because of Australia’s abundance of nature and sparse population, we actually sequester 5 times as much carbon dioxide as we emit, according to Professor Ian Plimer.
Why isn’t this recognised? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
The science is propaganda if it can’t put to the test or up for debate. Therefore, all options should be on the table when addressing serious issues that affect our nation’s future.
That’s Justice as I see it.
